Hidden Heritage

The training activity took place
in Altamura, Italy
organised by Associazione Culturale Link
14-22 October 2012

Aims & objectives

To develop the awareness of belonging to Europe and through the use of digital technology to “link” common cultural heritages in Europe.

Target group & international/intercultural composition of the group & team

Target group; 12 persons from 10 EU countries, from 20 to 60 years old.

The trainers team was composed by Michele Colonna, Michela Frontino and me. And the logistic support of all the members of Associazione Link.

Training methods used & main activities

In the first part of the workshop participants were asked to present themselves, their context and their cultural background through antique photos which have been recovered from a local archive or personal collection. NFE activities was giding all the process from beguining. Following this, guided by professionals, the participants proceeded with the archiving and the digital treatment of photographic materials given by the public library of Altamura.

Outcomes of the activity

The participants gained skills and knowledge of the physical conservation and archiving of antique photos creating an on-line photography archive. Through the recovering of the historical memory documented by the old photos participants came closer to the so called “minor history” and by exercising their active citizenship they consolidate their sense of belonging to Europe.

Your tasks and responsibilities within the team

I was in charge of the activities related with intercultural dialogue and non-formal education, from ice breaking games, to energisers, and evaluations. Working together in the activities design with Michele Colonna and Michela Frontino who was focusing on technical part.
As Hidden heritage was a LLP Grundtvig - Workshop with a very technical focus on photo achieving, the convining with non formal education methods was a need for the project and it helped to the success of the learning process.

I worked on this training for 7 days as a full time trainer.
