“Our awesome cultural heritage … Our awesome ties” is a project designed with the aim of spreading awareness of the importance of Europe’s Cultural Heritage and of its preservation, protection and promotion. The students will become aware of the uniqueness of each country’s legacy but even more of the ties that bind the European peoples. They will also delve into and unfold the various aspects of the cultural heritage in collaboration with the municipality, the tourist office, museums, libraries, environmental organisations, .. and in so doing they will enhance 21st century skills and will be readier to face the challenges of today’s world. In addition the leitmotif will be analysed from varied perspectives and while working on it the participants will contribute to strengthen the three dimensions of sustainable development as well as the fostering of peace and security. This will enable them to grasp the meaning of social responsibility and democratic participation.
