“Mines and Minerals” Teaching Space
Mines and Minerals is a teaching space geared toward increasing participants’ knowledge and awareness of minerals, rocks and their properties, but also of the history of mining in Sardinia and the important active role played by women and children in mining in the relatively recent past. Particularly interesting and evocative is the life-size reproduction of an underground tunnel dating from the early 20th century, featuring recreations of the scaffolds and seams of certain minerals mined on the island.
In this case, too, the route aims to involve youngsters in interactive experiences: environmental education, observation, drawing parallels, compiling and data processing. This space takes visitors on a journey between the past and present of Sardinian mining culture and affords an opportunity to discover the work and the lives of the miners and their families.
