This Erasmus+ KA1 Cultural Heritage Course in Dubrovnik, Croatia, is tailored for teachers and educational professionals who wish to deepen their knowledge of cultural heritage practices through outdoor and experiential learning. Participants will also explore how to integrate this newly gained insight into a range of subject areas within their own classrooms.

Engage in hands-on learning and explore everyday life in the Dalmatian region

From medieval legends to untouched natural landscapes, participants of this Erasmus+ teacher training will have the chance to experience and learn about the history and traditions behind several key landmarks and cultural sites in Dubrovnik, Croatia. They will actively participate in project-based and interactive activities, both outdoors and on location.

Guided by our experienced teacher trainers, participants will embark on an experiential learning journey across Dubrovnik’s magnificent Old Town, visiting important museums and cultural attractions.

From historic palaces to peaceful island environments, participants will dive into the city’s rich heritage through thoughtfully curated visits to some of Dubrovnik’s most iconic locations.

The course also features practical workshops that encourage creativity and engagement with traditional arts and crafts, whether through hands-on techniques or digital tools. These workshops will cover a variety of topics, all designed to support problem-solving, critical thinking, and project-based learning.

Gain the skills and strategies needed to bring cultural heritage into your teaching

Through guided tours, lectures, discussions, and interactive workshops, participants will expand their collaborative abilities, deepen their knowledge, and embrace a more experiential approach to learning.

By the end of the course, participants will understand how to promote awareness of cultural heritage across different domains, enhance a sense of European identity and diversity, and encourage social inclusion—ultimately using this knowledge to build an open-minded and motivated classroom environment.
Additionally, participants will develop a stronger appreciation for cultural heritage, enriching their future travels and broadening their perspective on the relationship between cultural heritage and contemporary society.
