We shared an important gathering at the Archeological Park of Ostia Antica on 28th October 2025, to retrace the key steps in the process that led one of Rome\u2019s leading cultural heritage institutions to open up and rethink itself in relation to its audiences.<\/p>\n
As an annual appointment addressed to organisations, associations, professionals and citizens \u2013 especially from the surrounding area \u2013 the working group of the Parco Archeologico presented the results achieved through design-thinking experiments conducted under the guidance of Melting Pro\u2019s Skills and Organisational Development Area.<\/p>\n
Workshops, listening and engagement pathways, prototyping and international study visits provided the context for a broader reflection on the potential of design-thinking techniques to engage local audiences, starting from the two groups that took part directly in the AHEAD project: the students of the \u201cGiulio Verne \u2013 Via di Saponara 150\u201d High scool in Acilia and local members of the Associazione Agro Isola Sacra in Fiumicino.<\/p>\n
