HYBRID MOBILITY

HYBRID MOBILITY

Involving EU lecturers on art-inspired coaching methods

21–24 April 2026 • Universitat de València, Valencia

The hybrid mobility of the CUL.T. – Culture & Technology project took place from 21st to 24th April 2026 at the Faculty of Economics of the Universitat de València, involving teachers and trainers from the partner institutions in an international learning pathway dedicated to innovation in university STEAM teaching applied to culture, heritage and digital technologies.

The activity represented a central milestone of the CUL.T. project, aimed at in-vitro testing the Art-Inspired Teaching Handbook, one of the project’s main outputs, and at strengthening participants’ competences in the use of innovative, interdisciplinary and work-based pedagogical approaches. Through practical sessions, peer-exchange moments, microlearning activities and plenary forums, the mobility fostered the exchange of practices among universities, cultural organisations and technology partners, preparing the subsequent piloting phase of the HE STEAM Curriculum within the institutions involved.

Objectives of the mobility:

  • To test and refine the Art-Inspired Teaching Handbook, the methodological guide developed by the CUL.T. partnership to integrate art-inspired teaching, pedagogical coaching, work-based learning and the design of digital and game-based solutions for the valorisation of cultural heritage.
  • To strengthen the teaching competences of the participating teachers and trainers through the acquisition of innovative pedagogical approaches applicable to university-level STEAM courses, with particular focus on the hybridisation of culture, technology, creativity and digital innovation.
  • To promote the international exchange of training practices related to art-inspired teaching, work-based learning, inclusive STEAM education and the use of digital tools in university teaching.
  • To test the open educational resources developed by the project in support of the CUL.T. HE STEAM Curriculum.
  • To explore methodologies dedicated to immersive cultural communication, AI-supported audio creation, digital storytelling, GIS for cultural heritage, the design of immersive experiences and video game design for culture.
  • To consolidate cooperation among universities, cultural organisations and partners from the creative-digital sector, contributing to the creation of an international community of practice within CUL.T.
  • To prepare the piloting phase of the HE STEAM Curriculum, which will involve 60 female students from the partner institutions in interdisciplinary pathways oriented towards the design of digital, immersive and game-based solutions for the promotion of cultural assets.
