Closing conference only the beginning for ELAICH program

ELAICH (Educational Linkage Approach in Cultural Heritage) will be holding its closing conference on January 30, but its legacy will live on in the form of its online toolkit and through the key principles and teaching structure it has developed over the past two years.
 

At the closing conference, the eLAICH Consortium will present its hands-on eLAICH educational Toolkit, as well as outlining its overall contribution to raising awareness of cultural heritage and preservation among today’s youth.
 

The specially developed ELAICH Toolkit will provide essential tools to educators and other stakeholders in order to introduce the values of cultural heritage and challenges of its preservation to teenagers.
 

The conference will also be a chance for all those who have been involved in the program, so far, to discuss their role in educating the youth and developing the curriculum.
 

In addition, decision makers and experts in the areas of education and cultural heritage conservation, including high school managers, educators in science, arts & history, representatives from authorities and non-government organizations are also encouraged to attend.
 

Senior officials from international and national education and heritage authorities and organizations, among others, the European Union, Israel, Greece, Italy and Malta have already confirmed their participation.
 

Just one day before the closing conference, a first-of-its kind workshop will take place to provide local Israeli educators with the tools needed to teach 9th through 12 graders about the importance of cultural heritage and preservation of historic sites.
 

ELAICH’s Closing Conference will be held at the Butler Auditorium, Samuel Neaman Institute, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa on January 30, from 9 am to 6 pm.
