The project will develop, in collaboration with four partners – Association of Cultural Heritage Education and INTO School from Finland, Urban Development Center from Serbia, and Fundación SM from Spain and six associate partner schools, European model for transmedial cultural heritage education. The project aims to strengthen the cultural competence, digital skills, creativity and critical thinking of the pupils. The horizontal priorities of the project include the Social and educational value of Cultural heritage and Innovative practices in a digital era. The project offers teachers the opportunity for professional development through training process and creating spaces for networking and peer learning events with European colleagues. The project organizes pupil-centered and action-based workshop for pupils supporting their creativity. The process starts from introducing pupils to a diverse cultural heritage and environment and finding out what is important and inspiring cultural heritage for them. In the project, pupils get to know, interpret and shape cultural heritage from many perspectives. They will learn to use and apply various media and digital tools and solutions in order to create new interpretations – musical pieces, images, soundscapes, animations, stories, and thus producing also new cultural heritage. The project activities include transnational teacher training event in Spain and various multiplier events for local, national and European level target groups. In the end the pupils creations from all the schools will be published in an online Exhibition. Project is looking for the stronger presence of transmedial cultural heritage education in the toolkit for building of a socially more equal, inclusive society and Europe, fostering democracy and sustainability. Research activities of the project will ensure that in the end of the project there is a novel educational model, training curriculum, lesson plans and handbook for teachers that are tested in practice. In addition, there will be innovative digital teaching, training and learning materials supporting the virtual implementation of the model. Policy recommendations will also be created.
