In the framework of DSI4 project, in the strand of work for capacity building and “train the trainers” effort, a joint webinar was organized in 3 online sessions between May and July 2022 by Euroclio and Photoconsortium, to experiment and develop skills about reusing digital cultural content in educational resources.
On the occasion of the Europeana 2022 Conference “Making Digital Culture Count” we presented the stories from this nice experience in a short video, narrated by Antonella Fresa (Photoconsortium’s Vicepresident), Valentina Bachi (Photoconsortium’s project manager) and Alice Modena (Euroclio Deputy Director, and Historiana Project Manager).
The outcomes of the workshop were multifold:
- teachers discovered opportunities of reusing photographic collections in eLearning activities
- content providers better understood the needs of teachers for enabling said reuse
- ideas for collaborations and future work came out on both sides and will be explored by Photoconsortium and Euroclio in the next actions in 2023
- more concretely, new source collections and eLearning activities were published in Historiana.
