The meeting covered open issues for the final version of the project outcomes, as well as the correct project closing. The development of the project has been evaluated:

• The developed Moodle-based course will be available as an Open Educational Resource (OER, in the English language)
• The photo contest could collect pictures for the “European Cultural heritage Database“
• The database is currently filled with images (also an OER source)

This final event showed that – even in times with COVID-19) a good partnership could be realized based on friendship and good connections between the acting people.

The meeting focused on the current development and progress of the project, the photo contest, and the connected organizational issues. The planning of the project closing and the connected office work was an issue as well.

The development of the database with images presenting the “European Cultural Heritage” was on the topic list. An intensive discussion about the final version of the Transferability and Evaluation Guide led to the necessary decisions of this Intellectual Output.

More information about this meeting is available from the webpage of the project.You will find also some more pictures of the meeting.

This Database is an outcome of the CICERO project and will offer CC-4.0 licensed pictures of typical European Heritage. The images are free to use (except for commercial use) and will cover various topics representing the treasure of European Culture.

The European Commission describes European Cultural Heritage as

“… a rich and diverse mosaic of cultural and creative expressions, an inheritance from previous generations of Europeans and a legacy for those to come.
It includes natural, built and archaeological sites, museums, monuments, artworks, historic cities, literary, musical and audiovisual works, and the knowledge, practices and traditions of European citizens.
Cultural heritage enriches the individual lives of citizens, is a driving force for the cultural and creative sectors, and plays a role in creating and enhancing Europe’s social capital. It is also an important resource for economic growth, employment and social cohesion, offering the potential to revitalise urban and rural areas and promote sustainable tourism.”

Images for this database are taken from the upcoming photo contest that will take place in the frame of the project as well.

The following illustration shows the rough connection.

Digital photography is closely connected with creativity and the knowledge and experience of image composition – this will lead to appealing images.

Digital skills in general help citizens to survive in a digital-dominated world. Here you will use social networks as well as a computer for work ore a tablet with a lot of apps with a tablet.

The project aims

The CICERO Project aims to build a bridge: Combine in-depth knowledge of designing images, including the technical possibilities of digital cameras with the requirements of our digital age. That means creating and publishing content as well as using social networks or documenting events or cultural treasures (from the present and the past).

Further benefits and added value of the project

Here are some ideas how the results of this project can be used in other fields of education.
