PROJECT OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES
OVERVIEW
“Our Cultures” brings together 7 cross-sector institutions from 6 different culturally diverse countries (UK, Spain, Turkey, Portugal, Italy and Greece) including schools, cultural and civil society NGOs.
The project focuses on providing art-based learning, creating digital concrete content and making the created content easily accessible open source in order to live, sustain and promote our common cultural heritage. Our project aims to create learning tools, resources, materials and training modules in order to encourage creativity and multiculturalism.
Our cultures aims to grow a sense of curiosity and tolerance among students and educators for living in a global and interconnected world with digital cultural data tools by placing our cultural heritage at the very centre of our lives.
It aims for children and young people to have direct experience with original heritage, to be actively involved in the process gaining understanding of cultural heritage. It also aims to develop digital literacy, collaboration and critical thinking skills, through digital data tool (Web 2.0 tools).
The project will make an impressive presentation of the culture structures and areas in the region where our partners live, using the augmented reality method and 3D design techniques. Out Virtual Cultural Travel Tool will make a tangible contribution to cultural tourism by making the regions where partners live a centre of attraction.
