Youth and education

Young people are not only heritage's audience; they are its future caretakers. We want to give them real opportunities to take part.

Learning by taking part

Cultural education lasts longer when it is lived: a conversation with a craftsperson, a day's work on an old building, a discussion about an exhibition. Such experiences give meaning to theoretical knowledge.

Between generations

Many of those who hold traditional knowledge are older people. Listening to them with patience and respect is one of the most valuable forms of learning for a young person.
