HEIMATKUNDE
Heimatkunde reproposes the schoolbook that Nicolò Degiorgis produced between the age of 8 and 10. The concept of ‘Heimat’ was explored in German-speaking South Tyrolean primary institutions until the beginning of the 1990s. Children were invited to explore all the different layers of their world: from their individual self to their family, friends, classroom and community passing through the geography and history.
