Our work


2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage, with a series of initiatives and events. Cultural heritage comes in many shapes and forms (tangible, intangible, natural and digital) and has a universal value for us as individuals, communities and societies. As our heritage has a big role to play in building the future of Europe, it is important to preserve and pass on to future generations.

Europe's cities and landscapes are marked by physical memories of the past. Castles, bridges and archaeological wonders are some of the most quintessential examples. Traditions, languages and art passed through the generations shape our everyday lives.Cultural heritage encompasses resources from the past in a variety of forms and aspects. These include monuments, sites, traditions, transmitted knowledge and expressions of human creativity, as well as collections conserved and managed by museums, libraries and archives.

During the school year 2017 – 2018 at the “Experimental Senior High School of University of Macedonia” we have done a research about the intangible cultural heritage in European Countrie.

The project in question presents the pilot application of the digital mapping in the lessons. The research hypothesis was that students would be better met in a familiar and popular interface (digital maps) and could easily have communion with Cultural Heritage and European values. 

 
The aim was to enhance the understanding of students for the important role they play in interpreting the diversity of the "other" through a holistic approach of diversity through research, promotion and study of personal experiences, needs and desires of the students themselves.

Further more was to:

a)cultivate European consciousness and identity through the active participation of pupils on a European platform and the empowerment of European values and

b)the acquaintance with the religious, cultural and geographical diversity of Europe and the contact of students with its arts and culture, so that Europe can take a more meaningful approach, especially in the difficult times we are experiencing with fanaticism, nationalism and homogenization.

c)At the same time, an attempt was made to exploit the pre-existing knowledge of children. Cartografer-students are essentially asked to reconfigure the religious and cultural past of the people of Europe and link it to today.
