The digitization of Cultural Heritage advances with the ARCH for Citizenship project.

Last June 27th and 28th the 4th ARCH project meeting was held at GEINNOVA offices (Zaragoza, Spain). Representatives from Spain, Cyprus, Greece and Italy participated in this event to discuss the progress and next steps of our project, which aims to bring cultural heritage into the digital age.

With this project, we have created an augmented reality (AR) application that provides interactive content related to historical monuments and sites. This app will be ready for use by mid-July and will offer users a unique and fun way to learn about cultural heritage.

We are also working on an educational game aimed at primary school students, which focuses on the monuments and heritage sites of the participating countries.Using storytelling and gamification techniques, the game seeks to make learning about cultural heritage fun and engaging for students. The game is progressing well, and our partners are dedicated to finalizing it over the summer, with the goal of having it ready for students in September.

Another initiative is a digital guide on cultural heritage, available in several languages. This guide will be a useful educational resource for teachers and students, offering information and topics related to cultural heritage. The guide will be available on our website and digital platform by the end of October 2024.

We would like to thank all the partners for their hard work and dedication. Together, we are making great strides in preserving and promoting cultural heritage through innovative digital solutions, and promoting a new way of learning history in school. 

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey!
