ErasMUSeum (Digital Erasmus Museum Learning)

'Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found.'-James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) To improve a shared vision on how IT can help making learning a reality for students and teachers based on cultural heritage by giving assistance through cultural heritage. This new perspective developing IT skills and competences encourage creativity and boost quality, innovation and recognition of school work. As cultural heritage shapes identities, offers a solid basis of ideas and values, people realise the need to keep the past and pass it on to future generations in the form of stories, objects, cuisine or traditions. Our partnership is such a creativity that ties past, present and future. We underline the importance of cultural heritage teaching as it shapes identities for next generations. In an effort to find proper procedures to teach cultural heritage, we applied surveys to school community. As a result it was noted that the best way is 'Museum Learning'. Museums offer students different educational models, providing the opportunity to evaluate the knowledge they acquire at school from a different perspective. As the focus of many lifelong learning initiatives is on IT, it provides an additional opportunity for Museums and galleries to fully commit themselves to the learning enterprise. During our project,digital technology will have a vital role in reaching the connected audience, in a way that will support the generation and representation of knowledge in,by and for diverse communities.We'll use this practice to reach and engage with all target groups.As our virtual museums will throw open its digital doors to a wider audience, give to virtual visitors a behind-the-scenes look at its artworks and the stories surrounding the artworks in its collections. This digital transformation will take many forms, from enabling museum visitors to use smartphones or tablets to enhance their experience,engage with people before or after their visits via online channels.This practice is an innovative big hit that would seem incredible to previous generations. Our project is transnationally and innovative because it is based on open and innovative practices in a digital era, promoting the acquisition of skills and competences,raise awareness and appreciation of heritage, values and culture to strengthen the common sense of European identity.As our ambition lives up to the challenges we are all facing, we quest to ensure an effective response,which will reach out to our project partners and everybody in the EU in general. Our partnership will support the development of new pedagogical approaches and in particular e-learning tools and on line collaborative platforms where pupils and teachers will be able to learn, teach and co-create content of courses.
