Since 2015, European Schoolnet (EUN) and the Europeana Foundation have been working together to bring digital cultural heritage to as many classrooms as possible. In the past year, the following projects have been developed through this collaboration.
The Europeana Ambassador Network
13 selected Teacher Ambassadors from 12 different countries (and the European Schools) have developed teaching materials that incorporate Europeana content and integrate digital cultural heritage in the classroom, covering topics such as virtual reality, migration, propaganda, European identity and critical thinking.
The Europeana Education User Group
The members of the Group (130 dedicated teachers) create and test ready-to-use teaching resources using digital cultural heritage and share their experiences on the Teaching with Europeana blog.
The Teaching with Europeana blog
