The main goal of the project was to create an interactive map of partnership school cities, produce 8 short videos per partner and integrate street view, an interactive virtual walk, which will present the cultural heritage of partnership cities. The map is integrated into the Google Maps platform, where video materials with an innovative approach and purpose for schools are added to the already existing content, as well as street view, which was designed, recorded and edited by students - participants of the project. In addition to the interactive map and video materials, online video lessons for educating students and teachers were developed in the project. The project encourages new ways of creative expression with the help of digital tools and innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to learning. The participants of the project designed content, wrote synopses and recorded videos that present each of the partnership cities. Various recording techniques were applied, such as drone recording, stop motion and street view recording methods, in order to encourage the strengthening of digital competencies of students and teachers as well as creativity and innovation in filming and editing.
The project is based on the previous project Literary Map of Zagreb, which connected students' experiences of the urban space of Zagreb and the world of literary works during online classes. Due to the positive reactions of students and teachers, the project was expanded to the international level with the aim of exploring cultural connections between different EU countries. The project was designed to respond to the need for digital educational resources and the development of digital competences of students and teachers, which has become especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic and the sudden digitalization of teaching.
