The Talking Clay

The PITCHER project (Erasmus+ Programme, 2021-2024) designed and tested a set of Open Educational Resources focused on improving the capacity of teachers and educators in preparing new learning experiences to support the fight against archaeological looting and illicit trafficking of cultural goods. This e-learning activity aims to raise awareness among 12- and 13-year-old students about respecting cultural heritage and the threats it faces, such as archaeological looting, illicit cultural property trafficking, and counterfeiting, while emphasizing the importance of professions dedicated to heritage preservation.Structured in a fun and engaging way, it offers various missions presented as comic strips, which make reading easier thanks to a narrative approach aligned with the principles of Universal Design Learning. These missions include activities and exercises using STEAM skills, and its interdisciplinary nature allows it to be used in various subjects: history, art history, civic education, Spanish, and science.Mainly self-assessed, this resource can be used individually and autonomously. Additionally, its source file is downloadable, allowing content adaptation as needed.
