The aim of this project is to create a strategic partnership in the field of higher education with the purpose to create and share innovative practices in the digitalization of the cultural heritage and its accessibility for persons with disabilities. The general goal of this project is to bring archaeological cultural heritage closer to the public, including different categories of the population, preferably through on-line courses. Through the project activities the awareness of the value and importance of archaeological heritage among the general public will be raised and the field of archaeology and conservation science will be popularized. Reaching these goals, we shall draw on the experience of our partners from European countries with longer archaeological traditions and, in doing so, we shall foster a sense of common European identity.

Objectives:

-Digitalization of the cultural heritage in formats accessible to all and hence enabling on-line and distance learning as well as long life learning.

-Foster the inclusion of people with fewer opportunities;

-Support equality in learning culture and history and foster the inclusion of people with fewer opportunities;
