Use of digital resources in Primary School cultural and heritage education. The DICHE menu.

Abstract—The present paper describes one of the activities foreseen by the Erasmus+ KA2 DICHE project (Digital Innovation in Cultural and Heritage Education in the light of 21st century learning). The aim of the project is to integrate digital resources and opportunities for cultural and heritage education in primary school. Content and structure of the workshop have been elaborated by the DICHE research group. The main objective of the workshop is to instruct participants in the use of the DICHE MENU, an online database of teaching scenarios for cultural and heritage education, which involve the use of digital resources in the development of the 4C skills (Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking). The two main pillars of the DICHE workshop, “use of digital resources” and “heritage education”, are in line with the most recent national and international field literature research and with the latest Italian education system directions, aiming at a more aware use of technology, in order to develop pivotal skills in active citizenship building.
