Guilty Treasures

The PITCHER project (Erasmus+ Programme, 2021-2024) intends to design and test of a set of open educational resources focusing on improving the capacity of teachers and educators in preparing new learning experiences to support the fight against looting and illicit trafficking of cultural goods. Since 2000, ICOM has published its Red Lists to combat the illicit traffic in cultural goods which causes significant damage to heritage, particularly in regions of the world where cultural property is most susceptible to theft and looting. This Educational Resource is based on the red lists. It is organised as an educational game where the participants have to identify a stolen culrural object and give it back to the cultural organisation to which the object belongs.
