In the footsteps of the Revolution

The course, In the Footsteps of the Revolution, is experiential in nature, using photo-video materials, guided tours (including the Tramway of the Revolution), visits to the Memorial of the Revolution, group projects, with an applied and practical character, designed to give them a consistent and grounded perspective on the phenomenon of the Revolution and with the possibility of creative expression.

Through the course on the trail of the Revolution we propose to the students a program that spans 5 weeks, centered on exposure and discussion around moments of major impact, feedback and journal of the Revolution. In the process of registering for the course we will distribute information about the objectives and conditions of the programme, the commitment we expect from them. This will be done through posters in school, through the teachers involved in each school, through social media groups.

The course is open to all those who wish to enrol and will exclude any criteria that might discriminate against them on the basis of status, ethnicity, religion, gender, political affiliation or membership of vulnerable or non-traditional groups.
