RAILtoLAND

Porto - Vigo (English) from GIPC on Vimeo.

Co-funded by Erasmus+ the European Union’s programme, RAILtoLAND helps students and the curious engage the social and educational value of their common European cultural landscape and heritage. Foccussing on built heritage (and especially railways), it was designed as a pilot for the Portuguese Porto-Vigo line to explore shared notions of European identity, social cohesion, local cultures and well-being. Aligned with the aims of the European Landscape Convention, it targets communities via decision-making and landscape enhancements that uses an Open Learning platform for its students. Its graphic interface enables remote E-Learning Apps and virtual labs to specifically target young audiences and enable mutual learning of intercultural context. Through remote 'Didactic teaching' educational innovation uses Design Thinking and Learning-by-Doing to improve skills and competence in communication, creativity and critical thinking.
