Join us on Wednesday, November 18, at 18.00 hrs (CET) for the closing symposium of Museum Affinity Spaces (MAS) research project.
Are you thinking about incorporating cultural heritage in your classroom practice at school, but wondering how to use the affordances of an online environment and tools to promote meaningful and inclusive learning? Or maybe you're a museum educator and wondering how to get in touch with schools and establish effective and sustainable partnerships?

How does COVID-19 affect your approach to teaching in and through cultural heritage?

What digital transformation is needed by museums, to act as agents of change in turbulent times?

This closing research project symposium will provide insights on the findings of a funded postdoctoral project: "Museum Affinity Spaces (MAS): Re-imagining Museum-School Partnerships for the 21st century through a Multiliteracies Lens".

MAS is a project funded by the Research and Innovation Foundation in Cyprus and runs between November 2018-October 2020.
Join us to discuss how to design for, implement and evaluate, sustainable and inclusive museum-school/community partnerships: findings from the integration of cultural heritage in compulsory education across Europe.
