WALKING MEMORY
Σύντομη περιγραφή
Emerging trends in digital heritage, immersive storytelling, and community-driven co-creation are reshaping how Europe preserves and engages with its diverse cultural memory. Yet, challenges remain: fragmented data standards, limited accessibility, and uneven participation of diaspora and displaced communities hinder the inclusiveness and sustainability of heritage infrastructures. Ensuring that oral histories and intangible heritage are collected, shared, and reused in ways that are interoperable, trustworthy, and socially meaningful is a pressing task, especially as Europe moves towards the ECCCH. In this context, WALKING MEMORY fosters an inclusive, participatory, and technology-enabled approach by combining AR Memory Walks, digital storytelling toolkits, and FAIR data pipelines into a coherent framework tested across diverse cultural and geographical contexts. The project’s overall objective is to deliver ECCCH-validated workflows and tools that lower adoption barriers, support replication, and embed community voices into Europe’s digital heritage. By engaging municipalities, researchers, SMEs, cultural institutions, policymakers, and diaspora associations in co-creation and training activities, WALKING MEMORY strengthens social cohesion, intergenerational dialogue, and innovation capacity. Ultimately, the project contributes to building a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable European heritage ecosystem, enhancing scientific excellence, expanding cultural-tech markets, and aligning cultural preservation with Europe’s climate-neutrality and digital transformation goals.
