Mythomania, new EU Good Practice! 🥳🏆🥇
Mythomania, new EU Good Practice! 🥳🏆🥇
The "Mythomania in Open Air Museums" (MYTHOM) project has been recognized as an EU good practice because it innovatively combines experiential outdoor learning with cutting-edge digital technology to engage young people with their natural environment and cultural heritage.
MYTHOM's success stems from several key aspects:
Holistic Learning Environment: By leveraging the "reality-based learning" offered by open-air museums, the project creates stimulating, multi-sensory experiences that go beyond traditional classroom settings. This appeals to diverse learning styles and benefits students who may struggle in conventional environments, including those with attention deficit disorder.
Integration of Technology: MYTHOM embraces the "Innovative Practices in a Digital Era" EU priority by incorporating mobile digital technology, augmented reality, and gamified learning. This approach makes learning engaging and enjoyable, overcoming the challenges of outdated or repetitive teaching methods. It also addresses the lack of specialized digital resources for outdoor cultural heritage education.
Preservation of Heritage and Language Learning: The project directly addresses the "Educational and Social Value of Cultural Heritage" priority. It fosters awareness of both material and immaterial cultural heritage, including UNESCO-listed sites, by connecting myths and legends to specific locations. Additionally, MYTHOM promotes English language learning through a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach, where English serves as the vehicular language for collaborative, cross-curricular activities.
Emphasis on Teacher Training: Recognizing the importance of effective implementation, MYTHOM prioritizes quality teacher training to ensure educators can fully harness the potential of outdoor education and digital tools.
Fostering Key Skills: The project is designed to enhance personal and social development, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork, while also cultivating a deeper understanding of the natural environment.

Field trips to open air museums.
Open-air museums, often set against the backdrop of lush landscapes, historic structures, and natural wonders, provide an ideal platform for experiential learning. Whether exploring reconstructed villages, uncovering cultural traditions, or delving into the mysteries of geological formations, students are empowered to visualize and connect with the subjects they study. Field trips to open-air museums offer students an exceptional opportunity to engage with history, culture, and the natural world in a tangible and immersive manner. These outings extend classroom learning beyond textbooks, allowing students to interact directly with exhibits, artifacts, and environments that shape our understanding of the past, present, and future.
Legends that explain natural phenomena.
Legends use narratives that emphasize the interplay between human interaction and nature, sparking reflections related to contemporary environmental challenges, fostering a greater appreciation for the natural world.
By incorporating slow-motion filmlets and plasticine figurines into the learning process, students can develop their digital skills, storytelling abilities, and understanding of legends explaining natural phenomena. The use of multimedia tools can greatly enhance students' learning experiences, integrating research, creative writing assignments, and art projects. These activities can encourage deeper exploration of the themes and promote active learning
