Starting from the consideration that art is a means of transmitting culture and traditions, students produced creative texts which were collected in an e-book that will become material that other students can use.

In particular, the e-book focuses on the Arab-Norman itinerary in Palermo and the tradition of the Sicilian puppets, both of which have been declared UNESCO heritage sites, with a special attention to a gastronomic tour itinerary that links traditional dishes to the cultural, historical, and ethnic layers of Sicilian identity (e.g., Arab, Norman influences).​

​​​​​​​Students gained concrete knowledge of the history of the area (history, myths, traditions and gastronomy) recognizing their historical and cultural significance.and rediscovered their identity roots.​

 

They enhanced awareness of Cultural Identity while exploring the connections between local heritage, storytelling, architecture, and culinary practices, reinforcing their sense of cultural identity.​

Students developed competencies in researching, organizing, and presenting information effectively for a public audience and produced a multimedia eBook, an engaging digital publication that combines text, images, and videos, making heritage accessible in a modern format.

The eBook serves as a tool to engage peers, educators, families, and potentially tourists, promoting Palermo’s UNESCO heritage through a youth-driven lens.
