Towards a European Heritage Interpretation Curriculum

<< Objectives >>We aim to create a standardised training curriculum and related training contents in heritage interpretation (HI) that will contribute to the recognition and professionalization of heritage interpreters and raise their employability.Specific objectives are: -To collect, analyse and share good practices examples in HI.-To develop a MOOC in HI at higher education level.-To raise awareness among EU citizenship about the value of cultural and natural heritage and the need for its protection.<< Implementation >>The main activities we are going to implement are:- Analysis of good practices in heritage interpretation and their compilation in a Good practices manual.- Development of a training curriculum for heritage interpretation at higher education level.- Development of training modules and learning units on heritage interpretation.- Development of the TEHIC MOOC on heritage interpretation.<< Results >>The main result will be a MOOC that will allow the professionalisation of heritage interpreters and the recognition of their profession at European level. Our course will be designed to meet the criteria of academic training, but its format and flexibility will allow its use in other educational fields such as CVET and adult education.The other main outcome of the project will be raising awareness and understanding of European natural and cultural heritage.
