The joint UNESCO-EU project 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage: Engaging Youth for an Inclusive and Sustainable Europe encompassed a series of activities carried out in close collaboration with the UNESCO Associated Schools in the European Union (ASPnet members). These were planned and designed to help schools map the living heritage present in the school community and explore the ways of integrating the same in curricular and extracurricular activities. During the activities, teachers noticed an improvement of learning outcomes as living heritage helped connect theoretical knowledge with students’ everyday life, while motivating them to be more active and creative. The school teams worked closely with families, NGOs and local community members UNESCO-trained facilitators provided initial training and accompanied the teams throughout this process.
