Imago Mundi and Monumenti Aperti are partners in the European project DELPHI which aims to create new approaches to communicate the importance of European values through Cultural Heritage.
In February 2020, the face-to-face phase of the European project’s training course on fostering continuous professional development for those involved in heritage interpretation for social inclusion and European cohesion was held. (“Development of Continuing Professional Development for Heritage Interpretation staff to facilitate Lifelong Learning for social inclusion and European cohesion”).
The project aims to explore new approaches to communicate the key values of the European community through cultural heritage. Imago Mundi and Monumenti Aperti, partners in the project, also participated in the pilot course. Five days in Belgium, spent between lectures in Alden Biesen Castle and educational outings to Genk and Maastricht, to develop a new methodology to be used in training adults and children and to improve the quality of guided tours during the event days.

The
objectives
: DELPHI will develop a qualification framework in line with the EQF, using blended learning, providing training materials and a validation system for its learning outcomes. DELPHI will explore new approaches in communicating Europe’s core values. The European Year of Cultural Heritage, announced by the European Commission in 2018, was a demonstration of how much importance the EC placed on cultural heritage and its values. The project will explore the connection between heritage education and sociocultural integration in an open European society.
I
project partners

BADGES
, which was born in the fall of 2017 from the collaboration and union in an official consortium among 8 international partners: it aims to develop a learning and validation approach for cultural and heritage sites that leads to the assignment of digital badges to visitors who participate in specific learning activities offered by the sites.
If a visitor at the end of a cultural visit had the opportunity to give evidence of what he or she learned and was rewarded with a digital badge, it would be great for the purposes of individual growth. Indeed, learning at heritage sites is rarely validated, yet validation of learning, even if informal, could prove to be a means of promoting individual and lifelong learning in general.
Nowadays, digital badges in cultural contexts are “unqualified” online representations, as the value and “weight” of these “cultural badges” is variable and unstable because, in current systems, there are no real established standards. BADGES does not seek to establish standardized learning outcomes as in formal learning, but aims for a standardized procedure that promotes certain quality criteria when issuing badges.
Project Badges took another step toward implementing Badges in the heritage sector during its second transnational meeting in Cagliari, Sardinia, right during the two-day
Cagliari Monumenti Aperti
. During this meeting, the project team visited one of the great examples of informal learning in the heritage sector. Monumenti Aperti is the most important event dedicated to promoting Sardinia’s cultural heritage. The event is organized by Imago Mundi, a partner in the project.
