As part of the activities of the ATRIUM Cultural Route, the Association ‘La Fabbrica del Tempo’ involved pupils from two secondary schools to create a didactic notebook with the aim to design a walk through the streets of Merano gaining a good understanding of the propaganda and civil architecture that was built in the city between 1920 and 1945. The teachers Gisella Mareso and Rosanna Pruccoli togehter with two fourth grade classes of the Italian and German language high schools GANDHI and GYMME worked on the didactic notebook, which then allowed many other classes (from third to fifth grade) to enjoy the walk and discover about architecture and propaganda.

Predappio, member of the ATRIUM Cultural Route, is one of the selected case studies within the “CoCoWar – Analyzing Global Dissonant Heritage” project. The project analyses three significant sites: Mostar, Shushi and Predappio, that were chosen for their unique histories and the complex backgrounds that shape their narratives. The aim is to uncover the layers of dissonance, to explore how past conflicts and evolving perceptions have influenced their identities. This allows us to understand the effects these tensions have on their preservation, meaning and future.

From 10 to 13 September, the European transnational event "Crossroads of Europe" and the General Assembly of the Association ATRIUM took place in Carbonia, celebrating also the 10th anniversary of its recognition as an official Cultural Route of the Council of Europe. While thanking the Municipality of Carbonia for its hospitality and the excellent organisation of the event, as well as all the members and friends of ATRIUM, we are pleased to inform you that at the General Assembly of the Association the city of Krakow was approved to join the cultural route. As a matter of fact, Krakow boasts not only a splendid cultural and architectural heritage, but also the vast area of Nowa Huta, an impressive manufacturing complex as well as a residential and service district, built in the 1950s by the communist regime. Krakow also represents a very important crossroads of the 20th century European history; therefore the involvement of this city in ATRIUM is a source of pride and great satisfaction for us.
