Games - Parthenopestories

Educational

The Educational section of the Parthenope project was designed to bring younger people –but not only – closer to the very rich cultural and mythological tradition of the city of Naples, transforming knowledge into an engaging experience accessible to all.
Through simple and direct language, suitable for a young audience, the objective is to tell the myths, legends and fantastic characters that populate Neapolitan history and imagery: from the mermaid Parthenope to the janare, from enchanted buildings to mysteries hidden between the sea and alleys, where curiosity can grow and knowledge become play, discovery, emotion.
To facilitate learning and stimulate curiosity, the section offers educational and creative tools such as: cartoon, which allow you to experience stories in a visual and immediate way and interactive games and quizzes, to learn while having fun and test your knowledge.
All contents are designed to be usable by a large and diversified audience, encouraging participation and understanding also through the use of images, sounds and narration. The goal is that everyone can feel part of the story, without barriers.
Parthenope Educational is much more than an educational section: it is an invitation to discover a Naples made of stories, magic and wonder, where culture becomes play and knowledge comes to life.
