The objective of the research has been to study and analyze the Heritage Education Project “Le Radici per volare” developed in the city of Bologna, observing how inclusive principles are developed and how it enhances the emotional bond of heritage elements with the students involved. The methodology carried out is framed within a qualitative approach, putting into practice a case study on the implementation of the project, using instruments such as interviews, observations and document analysis, through a table of categories. The results and conclusions point to the use of heritage as a means for the care of all students using different sources for access to heritage and its emotional development.
