PROJECT BADGES
BADGES for quality learning approaches and validation of non-formal
learning in cultural and heritage contexts.
What is BADGES?
The BADGES project sets out to develop a learning and validation approach for cultural and heritage sites that leads to the award of digital badges to visitors who participate in specific learning activities offered by the sites.
Why BADGES?
Heritage and cultural settings offer the ideal learning environment to (further) develop knowledge, skills and attitudes. The BADGES project aims at giving heritage learning the place it deserves in ‘lifelong learning’.
Who and how?
Imagine a youngster or an adult visiting a participating museum, a nature park or an historic site and watch, listen, act, participate and … learn. At the end of the visit or, back at home, he/she gets the opportunity to give proof of what he/she learned and is awarded by a … digital badge!
