Concernant la Villa Tivoli, vous trouverez ici des instructions pour des jeux et/ou des explications à télécharger en cliquant sur l'image.
C5 est la dernière étape du sous-projet. Le montage sera pris en charge par le coordinateur, et les partenaires n'auton plus comme mission dans le cadre du module WP4 DANS TOUT LE ROYAUME qu'à fournir éventuellemeentquelques scènes encore manquantes, à tourner chez eux.. puis à participer à la production (un partenaire pourra proposer une musique, par exemple ; d'autres faire des affiches, etc.) mais le travail d'écriture doit être considéré comme terminé.
C5 is the final stage of the sub-project. The editing will be handled by the coordinator, and the partners' only remaining task within the WP4 module THROUGHOUT THE KINGDOM will be to possibly provide some remaining missing scenes, to film at their own locations, and then to participate in the production (a partner could suggest music, for example; others could create posters, etc.), but the writing work should be considered finished.

Villa Adriana: Borders, Discoveries, and Navigators
Explore how Emperor Hadrian became a navigator of cultures, art, and ideas through his magnificent villa in Tivoli.
SEVERAL WORKSHOPS WE MAY IMPLMENT
Introduction – A Journey Beyond Borders
Hadrian’s Villa, or *Villa Adriana*, in Tivoli is one of the most extraordinary creations of the ancient world. Built in the 2nd century AD by Emperor Hadrian, it was more than a residence – it was a reflection of his travels across the Roman Empire. Hadrian was fascinated by Greece, Egypt, and the East, and he wanted to bring all those influences into one harmonious place. His villa became a living map of discoveries, blending styles and ideas from different cultures.
Think about it:
What does it mean to discover something new? Can we ‘cross borders’ without moving from one place to another?
Activity 1 – Hadrian the Explorer
Imagine you are one of Hadrian’s architects traveling with him around the Empire. You visit different lands to collect inspiration for the villa. In groups, create a short dialogue or role-play where you describe what you found and how you will include it in the design of Villa Adriana.
Examples of missions:
You travel to Egypt and discover a canal surrounded by statues – what will you build in Tivoli?
You explore Greece and admire the theatres – how will you include them in the villa?
You visit North Africa and are inspired by geometric mosaics – how will you use them?
Reflection:
What kind of borders did Hadrian cross – artistic, cultural, or personal?
Activity 2 – The Cultural Map Challenge
Match each part of Villa Adriana with its cultural inspiration and explain why. Then discuss: How can architecture become a form of discovery?
Villa areas and their inspirations:
Canopus – inspired by Egypt and dedicated to the god Serapis.
Maritime Theatre – inspired by Greek ideals of harmony and solitude. •
Roman Baths – symbol of social life and Roman engineering.
Gardens – representing nature in balance with art
Activity 3 Discovery Puzzle: The Hidden Message
Clues are hidden around the classroom or the site. Each clue describes a part of Villa Adriana. When you collect all answers, the first letters form the secret word: DISCOVERY.
Examples of clues:
I am full of water but not the sea. People relaxed here in the summer. (Canopus) • I’m round and quiet; I was Hadrian’s private island. (Maritime Theatre) • Here people met the gods of Egypt. (Serapeum)
Activity 4 – The Grand Voyage Board Game
Work in small groups to create a board game about Hadrian’s journey across the Empire. Each stop represents a cultural discovery. Use cards, dice, and imagination! The goal: reach Tivoli and collect three Inspiration Tokens to build the villa.
Event card examples:
Storm at sea – lose one turn.
You discover a new sculpture style in Greece – take one Inspiration Token. •
Pirates attack your ship – go back to Rome.
You meet Egyptian priests – move ahead three spaces.
Activity 5 – Borderlines: Debate and Discussion
Hadrian mixed different styles in one place – Greek, Roman, and Egyptian. Was he celebrating diversity or showing power? Form two teams: one defends Hadrian as a respectful explorer, the other as an emperor of dominance. Use the phrases below to support your arguments.
I believe that…
In my opinion…
However, some people think…
We can see that…
Creative Project – Design Your Own Borderless Villa
In pairs or small groups, design your own modern version of Villa Adriana: ‘Villa Nova’. Combine elements from at least three cultures (e.g. Japanese garden, Moroccan courtyard, Italian fountain). Draw or describe it and present your idea in English to the class.
Prompt:
In our villa there is a Japanese garden, a Moroccan courtyard, and an Italian fountain. It’s a place where cultures meet.
Quiz and Reflection – What Have You Discovered?
Where is Villa Adriana located?
Who built it and why?
Which part of the villa was inspired by Egypt?
What did the Maritime Theatre symbolize for Hadrian?
How can a building represent a journey?
Bonus: Each correct answer lets your team ‘sail’ one step forward on a classroom map of the Mediterranean!
Final Reflection:
If you could travel back to Villa Adriana in ancient times, what would you like to see or do there?
