In implementing the project, our aim was to enhance intercultural dialogue at local, national, and international levels and contribute to the protection of cultural heritage. Furthermore, the strategic partnership activities aimed to improve participants' ICT skills and foreign language communication, providing them with insights into the culture and educational systems of partner countries. Through the selection of priorities, we sought to: - Use and develop free open educational resources. - Encourage and promote the use of innovative technological tools in school curricula. - Ensure the transmission of National and European intangible cultural heritage to the next generations. - Maintain and promote intercultural dialogue and acceptance of cultural diversity. - Preserve intangible cultural heritage on the agenda. - Guarantee the sustainability of European cultural wealth. - Empower teachers' professional profiles through mutual knowledge exchange, sharing of good practices, and the transfer of innovative methods and pedagogies.
The group of schools applied for the project because they wanted to promote the discovery of intangible cultural heritage materials, allowing more people to learn about it and contribute to Europe's sustainable, smart, and inclusive economic growth targets. In fact: The digitization of Europe’s cultural heritage encourages adaptation to the digital era and globalization. Having access to cultural heritage also establishes a basis for societies to draw from their past. Intangible cultural heritage aims to maintain a constant link between the past, present, and future. Young people are the key group capable of making this connection seamless. Through this project, all teachers from the European partner schools were encouraged to strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration with the aid of innovative technologies and digital tools. Moreover, the project enriched: Teaching, learning, and training activities on European cultural heritage through the exchange of experiences, knowledge, and best practices among teachers from all partner schools. Enhanced professional capabilities of teachers. Cooperation and partnerships with stakeholders.
