- The first module aims to raise awareness of the periods, aspects, problems, events and most significant characters relating to the time span of modern history from a general historical-geographical point of view. - Provide essential information on the most recent issues and trends in modern history - Propose thematic paths and information on some topics that transversally revisit various parts of the manual, with the aim of making it more reasoned and easier to read and memorize. attention also to the extra-European dimension of political and social processes - To know the changes and ruptures that have profoundly marked the history of Europe in the modern age, emphasizing changes rather than continuities and uniformities - Knowing the plurality of political models , cultural, religious and forms of the organization of society operating in European history - Reconstruct the processes that led to today's condition, identifying in European expansion, in the rise of a world economy, in the connection of contents through the emigrations of mass, in the planetary expansion of international relations, in the formation of a cosmopolitan culture, the roots of contemporaneity.
The second module, in relation to the current war events affecting contemporary Europe, aims to deepen the theme of war, which is not just a military affair.It uproots and cancels communities. It deprives entire peoples of basic rights by involving them in an endless drama. Houses destroyed, families dismembered, sudden escapes. Through the narration of the events of the Great War, the module intends to reconstruct the human tragedy that crosses people when the war enters homes, devastating family ties and imposing a forced removal. Women, old people and children, catapulted to the front line, become helpless and silent protagonists of an escape from violence in search of peace. Without a destination, without food, without clothes. Refugees flee their microcosm, travel to all regions of Italy, suffer, lose their children. The female world acquires a decision-making power never had before; the angel of the hearth disappears to make way for a woman who has the destiny of the family in her hands. And children, in a time that neither understands nor leaves room for childhood, suddenly become adults. War redefines rules and values, erases the identity of the people who live close to the conflict. The memory of this people, simple and humble, finally gives breath to a historical narration set aside or closed in the drawer for too long. - Prerequisites
