The DAISSy research group of Hellenic Open University (http://daissy.eap.gr/) re-launches the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), developed in the framework of the European project EUHeritage: Skills for promotion, valorization, exploitation, mediation and interpretation of European Cultural Heritage (https://www.euheritage.eu/).

The project was funded under the Erasmus+/KA2/Sector Skills Alliances programme and created a new transnational curriculum for cultural professionals and students, focusing on digital and transferable competences as well as social skills linked to the ‘tourism experience’ in the cultural heritage sector. The project was implemented with the collaboration of 10 institutions from 8 European countries – the DAISSy group of HOU participated as the main technological partner of the project representing Greece.

The online training programme is offered again in 2022, by the MOOC Platform developed by the DAISSy team for the EUHeritage project. The online course starts on Monday 26 September 2022. The online course is offered free of charge, in English. Successful learners will be awarded with a Certificate of Completion and Online Open Badges!

In her speech entitled “Culture, Tourism and Entrepreneurship through the EUHeritage project” she stressed the high interest that Greece has always shown, for training programs and lifelong learning on issues of management, promotion and exploitation of cultural heritage as well as issues concerning archeology and museums.
