Bringing digital cultural heritage to classrooms: more than 38,000 students reached

Cultural heritage has an essential role to play in education, research and innovation, because it can enrich both formal and informal educational experiences. Since 2015, European Schoolnet (EUN) and the Europeana Foundation have been working together, sharing a common vision: to bring digital cultural heritage to as many classrooms as possible. Here’s what we’ve achieved together over the last year.

The Europeana Education User Group

Composed of 130 dedicated teachers, the Europeana Education User Group provides the basis of the Europeana Education community. Its members create and test ready-to-use teaching resources using digital cultural heritage and share their experiences on the Teaching with Europeana blog.

Built upon the teaching materials created by the Europeana Education Community, the Teaching with Europeana blog encourages teachers to share their experiences in incorporating digital cultural heritage in the classroom.
