Ancient history is a powerful reason to engage young people in society as a form of discovery of common origins.
In some parts of the EU ancient history it is no longer relevant to young people and especially for those coming from rural areas. This project is focused on juveniles, adolescents aged 14 to 18 who do not have the chance to access local information about ancient history, and such do not know to express their own identity. According to studies, for minors who live in rural areas access to culture is more difficult and the degree of involvement in social activities is very low.
