PLAYING AND LEARNING FROM THE PAST

Project Summary

The proposed project is an intercultural project that aims to contribute to the support and development of emerging cultural and digital literacy of learners, along with the improvement of literacy skills, by utilizing the cultural identity of each country using online applications. It was chosen to cultivate skills, attitudes and values ​​in terms of social significance, preservation and transmission of cultural heritage. At the same time, through ICT, learners will be given the opportunity to combine the real world with three-dimensional virtual objects, to interact and collaborate inquiringly, utilizing their empirical-experiential knowledge through the possibilities offered by multimodal approaches. Cultural Heritage and Technology encourage the cooperation and coexistence of peoples through the identification and transmission of common elements, cultivating in learners’ tolerance for difference and the importance of diversity, freeing them from future xenophobic syndromes, stereotypes and prejudices

The aim of this project is to strengthen the European dimension through interculturalism and the understanding that technology does not overturn its tradition and notification elements, but instead, with appropriate manipulations and techniques, highlights it through the combination of virtual and real world. It aims through the improvement of literacy skills to contribute to the support and development of the emerging cultural and digital literacy of learners by utilizing the cultural identity of each country using online applications, interactive games and cutting-edge technologies such as virtual and augmented reality.

• Through the acquaintance and presentation of the local cultural heritage of the countries involved, to cultivate the sense of "belonging" to a wider community, to reduce social inequalities and to promote cultural and social participation and integration
• Through the use of new technologies to provide opportunities for skills development, creativity and group participation with an emphasis on equality and the fight against discrimination to realize the vision of a school open to Europe
• Through the exchange of experiences to strengthen the relations between learners of different ethnicities for the consolidation of a society based on democratic and moral values
• Cultivation of traditional knowledge and skills necessary for the preservation and sustainable management of cultural heritage to be passed on to future generations
