The Education, Teaching and Training Service of the Parco archeologico del Colosseo carries out educational and training work and fosters a knowledge of the cultural heritage, with a series of activities resting on the relation between the archaeological monuments and the public.

The main objective is to stir the public’s expectations, producing an educational impact on the region and winning back the younger public, both as students in full-time education and children in families who can use the spaces of the Forum, the Palatine and the Colosseum as places for leisure and learning about the memory of the past. Our main purpose is to produce culture by recounting the history, people and events associated with a site that over the span of two millennia has been the cradle of our civilisation.

In line with the founding idea of a Park accessible to all, the educational services will also provide specific routes for the public with disabilities, looking carefully at the needs of visually impaired visitors (whether of school age or adults), the deaf community and visitors with psychic and cognitive disabilities, in the firm conviction that culture, common goods and beauty in the broadest sense can be instructive while bringing psychological benefits.
