Education VIA Culture is an international e-conference on the applications of Cultural Heritage in Education that aims to explore methodological approaches to the use of Cultural Heritage, local, regional, or international in educational context. The conference focus is on the presentation of case studies where Cultural Heritage was mobilised as teaching medium for any topic and the role of museums, archaeological sites, exhibitions, and heritage landscapes in education. Since the conference is inspired by the VIA Culture project, where heritage applications in education were explored through creative arts, the conference particularly showcases case studies where Cultural Heritage assets have inspired art-based teaching applications.
Conference committee understands heritage as a metalanguage that can bring together educational practitioners and cultural heritage specialists to a common scope of promoting diverse societies that respect different cultures and ideas.
