Methods to include a creative and critical thinking approach in education, supporting the fight against illicit trafficking of cultural goods

The first part of the project aims to create a common framework and methodology. For this purpose, the partners have produced two deliverables, in order to create the Open Educational Resources about the fight against illicit trafficking of cultural goods for teachers and educators:

DELIVERABLE 1.1: Analysis of the existing good practices, resources and initiatives already available.

DELIVERABLE 1.2: Assessment of the needs of teachers, educators, and students.

DELIVERABLE  1.1

State of the art of existing educational activities, curriculum, models, practices, policies, and teachers educational pathways

The objective is to search for all the information existing to date, closely or remotely related to educational resources and the fight against illicit trafficking in cultural property. This takes the form of an overview of existing resources, of which some examples are available below.

Desk research, collect data and basic information from existing resources

  • Prepared using desk research methods of key national and EU documents, regulations, and existing practices

  • Some resources on other related subjects have been also collected, which could be transposed for the creation of Open Educational Resources (e.g., on fight against corruption and awareness of sustainable development)

Research results

  • Provide a broad overview and a definitive summation of the information in participating countries

  • Some of the materials identified are chargeable, however, they can be borrowed from libraries or toy libraries

  • The analysis has shown that there are no real "educational" resources on this topic, in the sense that they have not been designed for this purpose, but there are a few educational actions that could inspire good practices

Defining the Methodology and organising the Questionnaire for collecting information on Training Needs:

  • 2 groups of partners: the organizations that participated in the NETCHER project, in order to mobilize the experience and knowledge previously acquired, and the other educational and cultural organizations of the project to mobilize their knowledge of the field

  • The questionnaire aims to lead teachers and educators to identify the most relevant elements for the creation of an educational program and was available in English, French and Spanish, on the internet

Analysis of the Feedback received from Teachers and Educators

  • 148 responses of teachers and educators from the different partner countries

  • Few of the suggested items received an interest less than 50%

  • The fight against 
illicit trafficking of cultural goods is a topic that has been up to now neglected, due to lack of information flow
