Designing for the Future of Education Through Cultural Heritage

In recent years, cultural heritage has taken up a broader purpose in Europe, becoming a substantial tool for social enhancements and economic gains. One of the bigger purposes of cultural heritage is its relationship with the education sector. Despite the efforts made to recognize the potential of cultural heritage in education, we cannot turn a blind eye to the challenges facing the education sector nowadays. Designers of today realize that the field of edu-cation has been subject to various disruptions over time. The current use of technological tools in the cultural sector has facilitated a new relationship between cultural heritage, communities, and education. Similarly, it is up to the design-ers to reconsider the methods through which knowledge can be produced and consumed in the education sector. In this contribution, we will explore the use of digital tools for partici-patory approaches in experiences collected from two distinct projects.
