Join the Museum Educators User Group! - Teaching With Europeana

Are you a Museum Educator looking to enrich your career? Then join the community of Museum Educators using digital cultural resources in their educational activities! European Schoolnet is giving the chance to 6 passionate Museum Educators currently working in the EU to help strengthen the link between formal and informal education. They will join the Europeana Education User Group, between November 2021 and August 2022.

What is Europeana?

Europeana is Europe’s platform for digital cultural heritage, empowering the cultural heritage sector in its digital transformation. Through its website, millions of cultural heritage items from around 4,000 institutions across Europe are available online. Europeana also works to share and promote this heritage so that it can be used and enjoyed by people across the world. Teachers and learners of all ages can find images, text, audio, video, but also 3D content, on anything from art to science, in over 37 languages. A big part of the collections – over 20 million items – is openly licensed and can be freely reused in education.

As museum educators, what will your role be in the Europeana User Group?

Task 1 – Receive training from the Europeana Ambassador

Each User Group museum educator will receive online training form their Ambassador (Amb) which is obligatory to attend. The date and time will be agreed with the Ambassador beforehand.

Task 2 – Create and test one Europeana LS

As part of the User Group of Museum Educators, you will be required to support the project by creating and possibly test one new Learning Scenario based on an agreed topic, using Europeana content, by the end of April 2022.

The learning scenario will be created using the template provided by European Schoolnet (EUN) and published under one of these two licenses: Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY or Attribution ShareAlike CC BY-SA.

Why should you participate?

Not only will you be part of the growing community of teachers and educators preparing youngsters and adults for the challenges of the present in the digital society, but you will also have the opportunity to work together with other passionate teachers and educators.

At the end of the project, European Schoolnet will invite the 20 most active Europeana Education User Group teachers/museum educators to a Europeana DSI-4 Teacher workshop taking place in the Future Classroom Lab, with all transport and accommodation expenses covered*.
