EU Federalism and Constitutionalism: The Legacy of Altiero Spinelli, edited by Andrew Glencross and Alexander H.

Il volume si articola in dieci saggi (ai quali seguono trenta schede di Best Practices) che nel loro insieme offrono uno sguardo sugli intrecci fra la Public History e la scuola. I contributi riflettono sul valore educativo implicito della Public History articolando esempi e ipotesi di percorsi didattici e educativi. Nell’incontro fra Public History, scuola e Università diversi passaggi del libro aprono alla sistematica integrazione con il territorio, i suoi pubblici e le sue tradizioni identitarie, in relazione con le altre istituzioni educative dei vari contesti locali, primi fra tutti i musei della scuola. Una particolare attenzione è dedicata alle esperienze digitali e al loro grande contributo alla condivisione dei saperi storici.
