in this stimulating and fun seminar Paul Martin seeks the
help of secondary and upper secondary school teachers
to address three urgent questions for today’s students:
1 “How is italy different for young people today compared to past generations?”
2. “Does a humanities education still have value? What
work, emotional, intellectual and life skills can it bring
for today’s students?”
3. “How can we help to prepare and educate young humanities students for a long working life in an unstable
and more globalised world?”
