Europeana in your classroom: building 21st-century competencies with digital cultural heritage (Spanish and Portuguese versions available)

The “Europeana in your classroom: building 21st-century competences with digital cultural heritage” MOOC will improve teachers’ understanding of cultural heritage in order to efficiently integrate this topic into their lessons and practices, regardless of the subject they usually teach.

In this MOOC, participants will:

• Understand why it is important to integrate European cultural heritage in education
• Learn how to use Europeana Collections to teach their subjects
• Learn how to navigate the Europeana Collections website
• Explore and become familiarized with the various Europeana apps, tools and materials

The course is organised around the principle of peer learning, with course content designed to stimulate reflection and discussion so that participants can learn from each other’s experiences and ideas. In order to complete the course, participants are required to submit a final course product and review their peers’ work.

The course is developed for teachers, student teachers and teacher trainers at all levels and of all subjects in mind. It is especially valuable for teachers with an interest in Cultural Heritage.
