- Abstract
In Italy, in recent years there has been a perspective-shift in archaeological education and communication, showing how current educational activities for the many publics of archaeology have incorporated practices and approaches that belong to different disciplinary ambits, although partially overlapping: the heritage education field with its theoreticalpedagogical reflection (especially at European level) as well as educational practices on the one hand; and the new "global" approach to heritage, which is expressed by the public archaeology sector of Anglo-Saxon matrix. Actually a real "educational archaeology" is emerging, i.e. an archaeological activity, not delegated to other mediators, but personally conducted by archaeologists with educational, social and cultural objectives and aims: first, to transmit knowledge and skills enabling visitors to understand the archaeological evidence and the meaning itself of the dig, of the archaeological sites and heritage; second, to implement innovative and diversified educational and communication strategies, able to reach wider audiences and, consequently, to meet the new demands of social inclusion and cultural participation; third, but not least, to reassert the meaning of archaeological heritage as well as the discipline, as a shared value and a potential of growth for citizens, communities and society as a whole.
