CAPuS e-learning platform for the Conservation of Art in Public Spaces

Abstract

[EN] The educational platform is among the most significant products of the CAPuS - Conservation of Art in Public Spaces project, co-funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliances Programme (www.capusproject.eu). The three-year project, which closed in June 2021, was inspired by the lack of specific actions aimed at the conservation of street art/urban art and the lack of dedicated academic teaching modules and training activities. An "alliance" of 17 partners has developed a research methodology and conservation guidelines, which have been the basis for the design and implementation of the teaching platform. Two online open courses are currently offered: one, self-learning, is addressed to students in conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage and to professionals and operators in the sector; the other is addressed to lecturers and provides materials, resources and strategies to prepare engaging and innovative lessons on the themes of the project.
