Education

Cultural heritage has a crucial role to play in education. The digital collections of Europeana provide multiple perspectives on historical, scientific and cultural developments across Europe and beyond. 

We want to bring this source of knowledge to every learner, educator or educational organisation so that they can experience the pedagogical potential of digital cultural heritage and build key competences. We develop resources which support educators to reuse cultural heritage data in their classrooms and institutions.

Training

Follow Europeana’s MOOC on digital education with cultural heritage.

To make that possible we are building partnerships with ministries of education, associations and networks working on education at European level, as well as edtechs that integrate Europeana content to design new educational products and services. If you would like to work with us please get in contact with Isabel Crespo at isabel.crespo@europeana.eu.
