Heritage in Motion

Participants will analyze a cultural heritage site through complementary perspectives and collaboratively synthesize knowledge into a digital narrative. The methods used are experiential learning, collaborative production, peer learning and guided reflection, without frontal lectures. Participants are divided into small groups of 3 people and each group is assigned one cultural heritage site. Each participant receives one role card: Cultural Interpreter, Scientific Observer or Learning Designer. The cultural interpreter helps with understanding the social, symbolic, and cultural meaning of the heritage site. They help the group understand the emotional and social resonance of the site and explain why the site is important culturally and historically. The scientific observer helps with understanding the physical and material aspects of the heritage site. They provide information about the materials, the construction, the evolution of the site and explain how humans and nature shaped it. The learning designer helps with understanding how visitors or learners can engage with the site. They analyze how visitors experience the site, what elements or stories would spark curiosity and how it can be made more interactive, educational and interesting. After that, groups collaboratively produce one digital narrative made with their mobile phone or laptop which might be audio or video.
