The first day of the Eco Culture Lab Erasmus+ mobility<\/strong> was dedicated to exploring the relationship between cultural heritage, environmental protection and sustainability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The activities of the day aimed to help students:<\/p>\n The day began with an educational visit to the Acropolis of Athens<\/strong>, one of the most important cultural heritage sites in the world.<\/p>\n Students participated in a guided tour led by tourist guide Mrs. Papoutsaki<\/strong>, who introduced them to the major monuments of the Acropolis, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Propylaea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Through the tour, students learned about the history of the monuments, their cultural significance and the challenges involved in protecting such important archaeological sites from environmental threats and climate impact.<\/p>\n \u00a0 After visiting the archaeological site, students continued their learning experience at the Acropolis Museum<\/strong>, where they participated in a technology-enhanced pervasive game, created with Action Bound app<\/strong> titled:<\/p>\n \u201cGuardians of Memory: Cultural Heritage under Threat\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The educational digital game was designed by Mrs. Politi<\/strong> and aimed to help students explore how cultural heritage can be studied, protected and preserved.<\/p>\n Using smartphones as learning tools<\/strong>, students moved through the different galleries of the museum while completing missions and challenges.<\/p>\n Students were divided into four international teams<\/strong>, each consisting of: two girls (one Greek and one Romanian) and two boys (one Greek and one Romanian).<\/p>\n Students who stayed in the same host family were placed in the same team, which strengthened cooperation and communication. Each team represented a different professional role involved in the protection of cultural heritage<\/strong>:<\/p>\n \ud83c\udffa Archaeologists <\/strong> \ud83d\udcdc Historians\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \ud83d\udee0 Conservators\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \ud83c\udf0d Environmental Scientists\u00a0 Each gallery of the museum functioned as a mission station<\/strong> where teams had to:<\/p>\n At the end of each mission, teams gathered together with the guidance of Mrs. Politi<\/strong>, the activity coordinator, to discuss their findings and reflect on how different scientific fields cooperate to protect cultural heritage.<\/p>\n Students explored artifacts related to daily life on the slopes of the Acropolis<\/strong> and discussed the environmental risks these objects face today.<\/p>\n Mission Objective:<\/strong> In this gallery students investigated statues that have survived for more than 2,500 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Mission Objective:<\/strong><\/p>\n Students collected information and completed a quiz based on their observations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u00a0 Students explored the story of the famous Caryatids<\/strong> of the Erechtheion.<\/p>\n Through videos and observation activities they learned about:<\/p>\n Students also participated in a poll<\/strong>, discussing whether the missing Caryatid should return to Greece.<\/p>\n Conserving the Caryatids Erectheon Acropolis Athens Greece, watch here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The escape and reunification of the Athenian caryatid held hostage in London (Greek City Times, watch here<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the final station, students explored the Parthenon Gallery<\/strong>, where they studied the sculptures of the Parthenon.<\/p>\n They observed that the gallery is perfectly aligned with the actual Parthenon temple on the Acropolis<\/strong>, allowing visitors to understand how the sculptures originally appeared. Students examined the different parts of the temple and documented their observations with photographs.<\/p>\n At the end of the activity, students gathered to share their discoveries and reflect on an important question:<\/p>\n How can different professions work together to protect cultural heritage from environmental threats?<\/strong><\/p>\n Through collaboration and discussion, students realized that archaeologists, historians, conservators and environmental scientists must cooperate<\/strong> in order to safeguard cultural heritage for future generations.<\/p>\n The first day of the mobility successfully combined history, environmental awareness and digital learning<\/strong>, giving students a deeper understanding of how culture and sustainability are closely connected.<\/p>\n To access the game, download ActionBound app at Google Play here<\/a> and at Apple store here<\/a>.<\/p>\n And scan the game QR \ud83c\udfdb Day 1-\u00a0 Cultural Heritage & Environmental Protection Monday, February 23, 2026 Thematic Topic: Protection of cultural heritage from environmental risks and climate impact The first day of the Eco Culture Lab Erasmus+ mobility was dedicated to exploring … <\/p>\n\ud83c\udfaf Objectives of the Day<\/h5>\n
