Hereduc – Heritage in the classroom. A practical manual for teachers

Recently, heritage in all its forms has received a lot of attention across Europe and both primary and secondary education have used it in developing many fascinating outcomes. This is because heritage lends itself very well to new pedagogical approaches, such as cross-curricular collaboration and project work.
Until recently, no new training manual of concrete materials and examples of good practice had been written: HEREDUC has tried to fill this gap. HEREDUC refers to HERitage EDUCation adn the project is part of the Comenius 2.1 scheme, working within the Socrates programme of the European Union. The project has developed this guidebook to accompany a website, www.hereduc.net, which is updated regularly.

The guidebook contains approaches to heritage in Europe and concentrates on how teachers might integrate heritage education in lessons, in primary as well as secondary schools. The text is written with practical application in mind. The guidebook finishes with a series of 34 inspiring practical exemples from five European countries and a slective bibliography.
