Scientific laboratory recovered in former normal school in Parma, birth of a European project: “A European Museum of Education: Preserving and Sharing Educational and Cultural Heritage”

High school students helped the recovery of a nineteenth-century scientific laboratory in Parma. It belonged to a former normal school and it consists of a collection of tools compiled through the years since 1861. These scientific devices can still be used to teach physics and science. This “discovery” led to the creation of new educational activities, and forced to a reflection on the protection of our scientific heritage. By collaborating with Spanish and Portuguese colleagues, the work will grow in the Erasmus+ project “A European Museum of Education: Preserving and Sharing Educational and Cultural Heritage
