Abstract
The educational project ''La memoria che resta'' (''The Memory That Remains'') aimed to raise awareness of contemporary historical-archaeological heritage through a collaboration between archaeologists from the University of Bari ''Aldo Moro'' and students from the ''Cagnazzi'' High School in Altamura. Focused on Camp 65, one of Italy's largest prisoner-of-war camps, the project combined mobile mapping and 3D surveying using accessible digital tools such as QField and iPhones equipped with integrated LiDAR. During the dissemination phase, students were actively involved in the documentation process and later developed digital storytelling content to reflect on and communicate their field experiences. This participatory approach effectively fostered interdisciplinary skills and a deeper understanding of the site's historical significance within the local community.
