Cultural Heritage

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Overview

This course explores cultural heritage as a foundation of shared European identity, aligned with the EU’s commitment to protecting and promoting cultural heritage. Participants examine strategies for integrating cultural heritage into lesson plans and using digital tools for interactive learning, then apply this directly on guided discovery days through Rome’s UNESCO heritage sites — from the Colosseum and Roman Forum to the Vatican and Trastevere.

Methodology

Classroom Strategy, Then On-Site Discovery

The course opens with practical strategies for teaching cultural heritage, then moves into two full days of guided discovery across Rome's UNESCO sites.

Digital Tools for Interactive Learning

A dedicated workshop covers using digital materials and virtual tours to bring cultural heritage into the classroom.

Reflection and Responsibility

Sessions on sensitivity and responsibility help participants translate what they see in Rome into real classroom awareness-building with students.

What you'll take home

Integrate cultural heritage topics into lesson plans using interactive and digital strategies.

Apply knowledge of Rome's history, art and architecture to classroom teaching.

Design activities that raise students' awareness and sensitivity toward cultural heritage.

Develop strategies that connect students to a shared sense of European cultural identity.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Certificate of Attendance

Cultural Heritage: Rome · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Cultural Heritage course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.
