Our aim in implementing the project is to help primary school teachers involve pupils aged 9 to 12 in exploring European heritage and developing digital skills. In addition, the project aims to promote social integration and inclusion, motivate primary school pupils to engage collectively, whatever their socio-cultural background, support them in acquiring knowledge and skills related to architectural heritage, and increase awareness of European values. We sought to foster cultural understanding, promote inclusion and enhance education through innovative methods. We aimed to empower students from diverse backgrounds, facilitate their cognitive and social development, and have a significant impact on heritage education and conservation. In addition, we aimed to raise awareness among teachers and students of the issues surrounding architectural heritage and cultural accessibility.
We applied for this project in response to societal challenges linked to social inclusion and education, particularly among young people. In addition, the focus on digital literacy is in line with the desire to prepare individuals for the digital age. The project aligns with the diverse missions of its partners, namely the inclusion and protection of cultural heritage by proposing innovative approaches to their integration into educational systems. Our priority has been to help primary school teachers involve pupils aged 9 to 12 in exploring European heritage and developing digital skills. The project aims to support and inspire teachers to use architectural heritage as a versatile tool for teaching a variety of subjects. It offers engaging opportunities for students and teachers in innovative educational activities, including tour routes and educational games, promoting the integration of students from diverse cultural backgrounds. The project also involves the creation of educational tools and materials accessible to all students, including those with disabilities or specific needs.
