Program Description

Subject & purpose of the training program:
“WP4 - Blended-learning & Microcredentials” of the GreenHeritage project aims to deliver a blended learning program, that will introduce a hybrid educational approach while offering high-quality digital content and an overall learning experience for participants coming from the cultural heritage sector, but also ICH bearers and the general public. We aim to create a contemporary, innovative, and transferable training tool for the upskilling of professionals in a sustainable way and, at the same time, to reach a broader audience. Furthermore, the BLP curriculum aims to create synergies among learners and the GreenHeritage partners' organisations in a creative and innovative learning environment. More specifically, BLP will be structured in 4 modules that will be delivered both online (online component) and via 4 workshops (translational: Latvia, Italy, Greece, Spain) (workshop component).
Based on consortium discussions and collaborative work, and taking into consideration the Grant Agreement, the following modules are offered:
• Module 1: “Intangible Cultural Heritage: Introduction and International Overview”.
• Module 2: “Intangible Cultural Heritage and Climate Change I: Threats and Protection. An environmental perspective”.
• Module 3: “Intangible Cultural Heritage and Climate Change II: Challenges and Opportunities”.
• Module 4: “ICT Tools for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage”.
Four (4) transnational workshops will be conducted in total. The physical element is expected to add to the learning and networking experience opportunities for in-depth learning and case studies assessment.
All modules will be taught during the Workshops, as per the curricula developed and presented in the following pages.
Learning outcomes:
Upon completion of this workshop component students are expected to:
• Have acquired a good understanding of the threats and opportunities offered by CC for ICH.
• Be able to evaluate significant debates, problems, controversies, concepts, and theories pertinent to ICH and CC.
• Can critically reflect on the relationship between ICH safeguarding and environmental risks.
• Discuss and evaluate different threats that CC poses on ICH.
• Develop critical understanding and engagement with a range of ideas such as the importance of indigenous knowledge for building resilience and preventing climate-related disasters.
• Critically discuss issues of sustainability regarding ICH.

In the context of promoting a program, the CE-LLC may inform -only in an advisory capacity- the interested public about the possibility of using a training certificate in terms of its possible awarding, based on the institutional framework in force at the time of the program's launch.

Cancellation of Programs - Tuition Refunds
The training programs will only be implemented if the required number of trainees has been secured.
A refund of tuition fees is possible only in exceptional cases and only if the applicant informs the secretariat in writing before the start of the program that he/she does not wish to attend, stating in detail the reasons for discontinuing the training. The written request is examined by the Scientific Coordinator of each training program and he/she decides on it. In such cases and in order not to be burdened with possible bank charges or administration costs of the Special Account for Research Funding, the student may apply for a credit of his/her tuition fees for attending another Program of the same training action, i.e. a Program with the same Scientific Coordinator. The amount credited, if not used up, is not refundable, but remains at the participant's disposal for future use.
In cases of tuition refund decisions, if the CE-LLC is responsible for the refund, the financial difference due is refunded without any additional charge.
In cases of non-culpability of the University of the Aegean, the applicant is responsible for any financial difference due, bearing any bank charges and an additional 10% of the administration costs of the Special Account for Research Funds.

The completion of the questionnaire is optional and is part of the academic activities of the trainees.
