The publication contains a description of an educational methodology that can promote the active involvement of high school students in the discovery and interpretation of heritage sites. The methodology manual contains 26 good practices that provide inspiring examples of innovative methodological approaches, cooperation between cultural and educational institutions and heritage sites, and active involvement of students. The book also examines the possibilities of including heritage education programs in the school curriculum. In the handbook, the authors have dedicated a separate chapter to highlighting the main elements that should be taken into account when teachers want to start a collaborative path between heritage experts/heritage educators in order to implement an educational program leading to heritage. The backbone of the book is a detailed presentation of 4 educational programs, which were designed and implemented by heritage experts, museum educators, instructors, educators, cultural program organizers, and teachers from 4 countries (Italy, Serbia, Turkey and Hungary) with high school students. This chapter is above all a practical guide and inspiration for those who want to implement an educational program in their own educational and cultural institution.

Le strutture, situate al di sotto della chiesa di S. Maria Maggiore, e costituite da tre ambienti e da un ampio corridoio, conservano infatti interessanti pitture – tra cui un ambiente dipinto a motivi ripetitivi di soggetto marino ed una nicchia con fiori sparsi ed uccelli – attribuibili al quarto stile e databili probabilmente all’eta flavia. Della stessa epoca e il pavimento in opus sectile conservato in uno degli ambienti, a modulo quadrato, mentre alla prima fase del complesso, collocabile in eta tardo repubblicana, e attribuibile la pavimentazione in scutulatum su fondo a mosaico.

Le indagini sono state avviate a seguito di un intervento di manutenzione ordinaria, la realizzazione di una piccola trincea per l'alloggio di un tubo di scolo. Nonostante l'esiguità dell'area indagata e la inevitabile incompletezza dei dati raccolti, si ritiene utile la pubblicazione dei resti messi in luce in un'area, come quella delle Terme, di altissimo interesse archeologico e tuttavia poco documentata in epoca moderna 1. La trincea che ha costituito l'occasione per l'indagine archeologica attraversa in direzione est-ovest le aule comprese la chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli da un lato e la palestra settentrionale delle Terme antiche dall'altro; in corrispondenza delle murature romane che dividevano, correndo con andamento nordovest-sudest, la vasta area in ambienti separati, lo scavo moderno ha incontrato una serie di strutture antiche, addossate le une alle altre in una successione non del tutto chiara: per meglio comprenderne la consistenza l'area interessata è stata liberata creando un riquadro di m 3 x 3 circa (fig. 2). La prima struttura messa in luce a partire da est è una grande fondazione in laterizio (A; cfr. fig. 2), spessa circa due metri e mezzo, con orientamento analogo a quello dell'impianto termale. La fondazione presenta sui due lati una cortina in laterizio, e deve dunque essere stata realizzata fuori terra. Essa prosegue al di sotto dei circa 130 cm scavati rispetto al livello di calpestio, e non se ne è dunque messo il luce il piano inferiore. L'andamento, la posizione e le dimensioni della struttura, poco più larga della muratura di separazione tra le aule conservata fuori terra, permettono di identificarla con certezza con la fondazione di queste ultime. Il paramento, conservato in pochi punti, è costituito da laterizi separati da strati di malta non molto regolari, che vanno dai 2 ai 3,5 cm di spessore. Presso l'estremità nord-ovest dello scavo è possibile osservare come la struttura di fondazione sia ricoperta da due diverse preparazioni pavimentali: della più profonda, circa 45 cm al di sotto del calpestio attuale, resta

of Rome is the Lupercal, the grotto where, according to the legend, the she-wolf milked Romulus
and Remus. The Lupercal, which plays a relevant role in the Augustan propaganda,
has been by some scholars identified with a circular subterranean room that was seen and
documented by probes in the south-western slope of the Palatine hill in 2007. The building
has not yet been excavated but the documentation allows for the reconstruction, with a
certain degree of accuracy, of the decoration of the circular dome. The decoration pattern,
made with stone chips, seashells, and possibly other materials such as small glass slabs and
stucco, consists of lacunars with geometric and floral decoration. The only figurative theme
is a flying eagle represented in a circle at the top of the dome. The structure and decoration
of the building allow it to be identified as a rich and refined nymphaeum, possibly built
between 70 and 20 bc. Similar techniques and patterns can be found in nymphaea and other
subterranean buildings of the 1st century bc, most of them located in southern Latium or in
the north of Campania

Starting from the analysis of the collection of jet artefacts in the Roemisch Germanisches Museum in Cologne, the article attempts to summarise current knowledge on this
unique fossil material, originating from a conifer of the Araucaria, and on its use in the
Roman period, concentrated around the 3rd century AD in a few areas of the Roman
Empire (particularly England and the Rhineland, but not only). The overview of a conspicuous number of items (about 200 pieces, mainly jewellery or personal ornaments)
reveals a rather clear specificity of the material from Cologne and from Rhineland compared to that found in England, the best known centre of ancient workmanship of the
material: this element, together with the often higher quality of the Rhineland finds, seems
to support the hypothesis of a local workmanship of the material.

The event, organised in cooperation with the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua, aims to make a plan and to define joint recommendations to be plugged into the programme of the European Year of Cultural Heritage in 2018. The European network of projects in the cultural heritage sector was established in the framework of the RICHES project with the aim of: - Reflecting on the impact that cultural heritage projects are delivering, in order to identify opportunities to improve the effectiveness of their results.<br> - Sharing knowledge about targeted communities, in order to discover similarities in approaches, gaps and omissions to be served jointly, framework conditions that help to determine the success or otherwise of project outcomes.<br> - Identifying synergies and the potential for collaborati...

An overall definition of the surrounding context is provided through the PESTLE analysis carried on at European level as well at each pilot country level. A summarising view is provided to evidence key factors that could condition STORM viability. In the following chapter the SWOT analysis is provided considering the project as a whole; detailed analysis will be provided in D11.2 related to each PUDFs. In chapter 5 a method to monitor viability during the project life is provided and it will be in place starting from M13. A key factor for STORM viability beyond the project life is to have a clear fund raising mechanism that could guarantee a future to the project; this point in its main schemas is described in chapter 6. Chapter 7 addresses stakehol...
