Save the date! Join us for the presentation of the results of the transnational project PITCHER 'Preventing Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Heritage: Educational Resources' (Erasmus+).
The PITCHER project provides teachers and cultural mediators with an educational toolkit that includes playful methods to raise awareness among young generations about the looting and illicit trafficking of cultural goods. It also proposes a set of key guidelines and policy recommendations to educational and cultural policy-makers. Funded under the Erasmus+ programme, the project contributes to the EU Action Plan against Trafficking in Cultural Goods.
During this event, the partners will present the project’s results, future perspectives, and policy recommendations, and finally showcase the 15 training materials.
Bringing together teachers, mediators, heritage professionals, European experts, and policymakers, we will further discuss ways to involve young generations in this important fight.
Here's what you can expect:
