Description

As humans, we strive to preserve our history, focusing mainly on buildings and sites. Until recently, we overlooked cultural elements, customs, and nature. Thankfully, today there’s a growing awareness of nature and culture as vital parts of our legacy. Cultural and natural heritage share a symbiotic relationship: preserving culture promotes identity and community, while sustainable practices protect the ecosystems that support traditions. Safeguarding these elements ensures future generations retain their identities. It is our duty to integrate these principles into policies and education to secure a sustainable future.

This course will unite educators to explore the connection between cultural and natural heritage. Through workshops, hands-on experiences, and onsite activities, participants will learn innovative methods to build a stronger relationship between people, culture, and environment. Teachers will leave equipped to inspire students to protect and value our shared heritage.

��Ƶing objectives

With this course, we aim to reinforce a sense of identity and community while promoting environmentally conscious practices. We want to create a more sustainable and resilient world that respects and preserves our cultural heritage and the environment for generations to come. But we also want the future generations to respect their cultural and natural heritage and realise that these are interrelated and can lead to a more harmonious and thriving world. It is thus essential to create innovative lesson plans that connect cultural and natural heritage to enhance responsibility for heritage preservation among students.

Furthermore, we aim to facilitate our participants in their quest for networking and collaborating with other participants and institutions. Following the original objectives of Erasmus+, we take very seriously the exchange of ideas, experiences and methodologies. Thus, our day to day programme includes theory, discussion, onsite activities and practice.

Methodology & assessment

Our courses blend theory, practice, and participants’ work experiences. The exchange of practices and methodologies creates a rich environment of examples and ideas, adaptable to each participant's reality. Our pedagogical materials, available under Creative Commons (CC), meet Erasmus+ criteria and integrate various teaching methods with ICT to support effective learning. Participants are asked to create a simple activity (lesson plan or PowerPoint) and upload it to our platform, building a shared material bank. To ensure smooth operation, we provide daily briefings and use a group communication tool to handle any changes. Our goal is to enrich the learning experience and foster strong relationships between participants and trainers, encouraging future partnerships and collaborations.
