Children's Heritage Interactive Models for Evolving Repositories (CHIMER)

Brief description

The project develops schoolchildren's participation in the cultural heritage of their villages, towns and regions using an Open Evolving Multimedia Multilingual Digital Heritage Archive. Museologists and teachers provide general and scientific information, with children's creative input, to develop an application for Cultural Tourism. Experts and primary school teachers from the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Holland, Lithuania and Spain collaborate to support children's creativity in exploring new tools for creating digital content.
