Educator toolkit

Community engagement (8)

  1. Community-based art education for exploring heritage

    The most important principle of community art education is that everyone can participate in making art. The process and shared experiences during the process are more important than the artistic products.

  2. Stories of transformation

    Hear from participants how their thoughts on intangible cultural heritage were transformed in the HEART pilot courses.

  3. Participatory approach

    Using participatory methods and approaching intangible cultural heritage through the participants' own starting points

  4. Working with a heritage expert

    Tips for working with an expert in your chosen heritage field including: selecting a heritage topic, recruiting a heritage expert, working with a heritage expert, and examples of how these methods were used in the pilot studies.

  5. Sustainability in organising art education

    Considering the ecological, economic, social and cultural sustainability of your educational activities helps in creating far-reaching positive effects for your work.

  6. Writing exercise: The heritage potluck

    How many kinds of intangible cultural heritage influence people's everyday lives?

  7. Exercise: Examine a heritage business

    Heritage is not an exclusively artistic field. This exercise is a case study where heritage is a field of economic activity. The exercise can be used in economics and career guidance classes. 

  8. An example of sustainability: How the local economy helps support and save an ancient craft
