    Date: July 11, 2024
    Time: 15:00 – 18:00
    Location: Palazzo Merulana, Via Merulana, 121, Rome

    Why Attend?

    Object-Based Learning is a proven methodology that enhances visitor engagement by allowing them to interact directly with museum artifacts. However, in many cases, physical interaction with these objects is not possible due to preservation needs or specific educational requirements of the users. This is where digital technology steps in, providing innovative solutions that allow for immersive and pedagogically sound experiences.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Principles of Object-Based Learning: Understand the core concepts and benefits of OBL in museum settings.
    • Technological Solutions: Explore how digital tools such as augmented reality, digital replicas, and interactive media can simulate the tactile experience of OBL.
    • Inclusive Education Strategies: Learn how to create inclusive educational experiences using technology, focusing on visitors with specific needs.
    • Practical Implementation: Participate in hands-on sessions to design and implement technology-driven OBL activities, gaining practical skills that you can immediately apply in your museum.

    Additional Information:

    Following the in-person event, further training will be provided online through the INTELLECT Center platform, ensuring continuous learning and support. Participants will receive a certificate of participation upon completion of the workshop.
