In Barumini the history of Sardinia can be learned by playing. A new way for elementary and middle school students to take a special lesson immersed in a journey between study and above all fun. A journey with NUR, the Nuragic warrior, who in 18 stages passes through the historical and cultural journey of Sardinia from the Shardana to the Kingdom of Italy.
Also this year, on Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 May, the project “The journey of Nur, from the Shardana to the Kingdom of Italy” will be at the Giovanni Lilliu centre. An educational path that combines the traditional method of teaching Sardinian history with a lighter aspect, that is a board game such as Monopoly or Risk, in which the students of the individual classes confront each other in questions, unexpected events and battles. Involved in the project are the children of the comprehensive school of Villamar, together with 200 other children from the schools of Barumini, Furtei, Gesturi, Villanovafranca, Siddi but also Sardara, Sanluri and others.
The game, now in its sixth edition, is linked to learning the history of Sardinia and for this very reason Barumini, with the Unesco site of Su Nuraxi just a stone's throw away, represents the ideal place to once again host the course carried out and conceived by Professor Gianfranco Sperati, in collaboration with the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation.
12 teams will challenge each other in "hit history" which will go through the various qualifying stages up to the final which will see the 4 best teams in play, including dice rolls, fake battles, questions and answers with the unexpected making everything uncertain until to the last roll of the die and final answer. A moment of collective involvement where all the pupils are called to be protagonists of the history of Sardinia from the most remote past to the judicial age up to the kingdom of Italy. All without forgetting the most ancient of our ancestors, traveling with NUR.
