Especially in today's environment of rapid change, the ICT industry raises issues such as the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage. The pace of technological progress is constantly increasing. Cultural heritage therefore needs to find a way to co-exist with ICT. In our modern world, the dilemma between the digitalization of heritage and traditional methods of heritage conservation can be clearly observed. However, it is possible to preserve Cultural heritage in digital forms. As educators, in this project we have used ICT like never before to provide unprecedented opportunities for preserving and sharing cultural heritage. The main aim of this project has been to raise awareness about our own cultural identity based on digital copies of existing collections in a rich and interactive digital environment. Our project contributed to policy in a playful way on the following issues. By placing heritage rights, cultural rights and human rights at the center of a renewed interpretation of cultural heritage, democratic and human values.

In order to increase students' interest in cultural heritage, we have organized a wide range of activities such as trips to relevant places, lessons with museum staff in museums, research activities on cultural heritage. We organized interviews with the elderly, fashion shows with historical costumes, local dance performances, local food, local music performances and visits to religious buildings. During LTT activities we created scenarios and movies about cultural landmarks of the host countries.

The results of our project: -movie scripts, movies, videos, pictures, music videos -posters, logos, dissemination materials and platforms - videos and events for national days -project magazine -training sessions, materials about remarkable people, interviews, theater,dance performances.
