To foster community and civic engagement and democratic participation in the sphere of cultural heritage in low-density territories.
To create an operable framework and provide tools regarding gamification strategies and techniques for community-based / community-led heritage work.
To foster partnerships and mutual, practice-oriented learning between local communities, academics and university students.
To disseminate the benefits of gamification and community-based approaches in heritage.

Work plan

The work plan of the project is composed of 5 work packages, designed to ensure the achievement of the project’s objectives:

WP 1 — Project management
WP 2 — Best practices
WP 3 — Methodology (model development)
WP 4 — Implementation (heritage community engagement)
WP 5 — Dissemination

Activities

During the implementation of the project, the partners have agreed to carry out the following activities:

Identifying, selecting and analysing examples of best practices in community-based gamification strategies for cultural heritage in low-density territories.
Developing a replicable and scalable gamification model for contexts and purposes similar to those of the selected best-practice examples.
Developing an accessible gamification tool (mobile app) for community-led and community-oriented heritage work.
Establishing community coalitions in all seven partner countries for the development of community-based gamification solutions.

Target groups

The project addresses three main target groups:

Local communities in low-density territories — residents, members of local organisations, cultural agents and members of governing bodies — across the seven partner countries.
University students from all participating institutions, drawn from a variety of academic fields, identities and backgrounds.
The wider academic and heritage-practitioner community.
