ENTER C.R.E.A. CULTURA
International Festival of Good Practices of Cultural Heritage Education
The C.R.E.A. Cultura festival, organized by CRHACK LAB FOLIGNO 4D, serves as a platform for promoting and celebrating cultural heritage, technology, and creative thinking.
Every year for three days, Foligno, a picturesque town nestled in the verdant embrace of Umbria, extends its hospitality to a diverse array of participants, including cultural organizations, local, regional, national, and international educational institutions. These entities converge to exchange knowledge, Create Open Educational Resources (C.R.E.A. in Italian), and cultivate skills that benefit both young individuals and adults. The culmination of this collective endeavor is a vibrant celebration of the realm of digital creativity.
C.R.E.A. Cultura is a festival dedicated to cultural, civic, and social projects and initiatives that engage with new digital technologies. By taking part, you can meet teachers and students from schools of all levels across Europe, as well as cultural associations and organizations that promote cultural heritage and digital culture.
Participation in the C.R.E.A. Cultura Festival is completely free and is now available in two ways: sign up for hands-on workshops (and open labs run by CRHACK LAB F4D and its partners) to enjoy practical, engaging activities, or book your visit to the Expo Area, where you can explore interactive booths, live demos, exhibitions, and networking moments. During the festival, you’ll also have the chance to join interactive experiences and visit the city’s cultural heritage sites free of charge.
C.R.E.A. CULTURA HAS ESTABLISHED A VIBRANT AND DYNAMIC ECOSYSTEM.
During the festival educational institutions, cultural organizations, local initiatives, and a very diverse international audience converge to engage in collaborative activities and foster collective creativity. This platform serves as a hub for exchange and inspiration, facilitating the generation of innovative ideas, the dissemination of best practices, and the stimulation of the curiosity of new generations.
