Big explorer and small gets to know the cultural heritage of Europe

From June 2018 we have been implementing the ERASMUS + project "Culture and Art as inspiration for experiencing and acting in creative foreign language learning". The size of the wealth constituting the cultural heritage encouraged us to create a project on the e Twinning platform, which would motivate many diverse institutions to learn about interesting objects inscribed on the UNESCO list located in their home countries. Aware that activities which are accompanied by positive emotions are better remembered by children, we suggest having fun while fulfilling project’s tasks. The task of educational institutions will be to take a picture of the object placed on the UNESCO list along with the logo of their facility, to familiarize children with the history of the object and to prepare the silhouette or contour of the monument and propose to children decorating it in any way they like. Older students can be offered to design an interesting decorative illumination of the object. Photographs of historical monuments with short descriptions and children's artworks will be placed on the TwinSpace. In addition, we propose to develop together with other participants a database of materials ready to be used in order to create games and teaching materials that consolidate information about the cultural heritage of Europe. Each teacher will create two A4 cards. One card will present a photograph of a single object and a second card contours of the same object that allows its identification.
