Description
Throughout history, different cultures have sought to weave a coherent tapestry of the universe and its evolution, driven by an innate curiosity about its origins. These narratives not only shaped cultural identities but often served as tools for asserting dominance. In the modern era, scientific endeavours took a pivotal turn with the discovery of cosmic background radiation in 1964, culminating in the emergence of the Big History narrative by the turn of the millennium.
In the Italian context, this cosmic perspective, widely popularized by media, found profound exploration through the research conducted at the Coldigioco Geological Observatory and at the OPPI. This communication primarily delves into the educational initiatives spearheaded by the OPPI, while acknowledging the influence of the International Big History Association and the European Big History Network.
The Big History vision has found significant studies and experiences in Italy. These have recently been summarised in a monograph that will be presented during the communication.
