Interdisciplinary Resilience through Science and Cultural Heritage Education Network – 020-1-AT01-KA226-HE-092503
Project duration: 1st of April 2021- 31st of March 2023, 24 months
Geographic dimension: 7 partners from 4 countries (from Alps-Adriatic to
Mediterranean Region)
Key topics:
Cooperation between educational institutions and business
ICT – new technologies – digital competences
Open and distance learning
What is the background and motivation of the project:
The importance of digitization and creativity / cultural awareness is always present, but it is particularly emphasized in the current situation, at the
time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We need to acquire new skills and competences that strengthen transversal skills and thus contribute to the resilience of the Higher Education sector and its key-actors.
Our project is a cooperation between higher educational institutions and business/start-ups that can see a big opportunity in creating a win-win situation in order to thrive and improve their skills and products in terms of new tools and digital competences in ICT and visualization techniques that open up new ways of collaboration. Through this strategic alliance we can trigger a powerful change using the example of “IRSCHEN“.
Objectives:
To tackle skills gaps & mismatches, especially related to digital competences, through transdisciplinary approaches, and innovative pedagogies such as research-based learning;
To develop, test and implement OER that are relevant for students of our targeted curricula with flexible and modular course design (online or blended) to support the setting up of open and distant learning while also being relevant for the labour market and for the wider society (people with fewer opportunities)
To increase attractiveness and reforming educational offers including real-world applications, inquiry-based and ICT-enriched learning, collaborative
practices, including university-business cooperation;
To foster civic engagement and life-long learning opportunities related to our archaeological heritage as an integral part of our European identity whilst delivering European Cultural Heritage Education in our partner countries and beyond, thus to promote a cross-border and scientifically
based know-how transfer and understanding of active citizenship;
To foster transnational cooperation, know-how and interdisciplinary resilience through building a solidarity network between Academia
& Business from “the Alps Adriatic Region” & “the Mediterranean”.
Target Group: our target groups can be divided into 2 categories:
ACADEMIC & PROFESSIONAL STAFF in CULTURAL HERITAGE EDUCATION (archeology, history, ancient studies, regional development, monument preservation): Educational & scientific staff from partner universities that are in need of improving their digital competences and tackle skills gaps and learn about transdisciplinary approaches.
STUDENTS & LEARNERS: Students (18-35 years) of our partner universities from curricula in the fields of archeology, history, ancient studies, regional development, monument & preservation studies as well as interested citizens from our communties.
