Digital Guided Visits to Heritage Buildings
Work Package 3 (WP3): Digital Guided Visits to Cultural Heritage Buildings aims to enhance youth engagement with European Built Cultural Heritage by creating interactive digital maps featuring 60 selected heritage buildings across five partner cities. Expanding on WP2’s heritage module, WP3 transforms architectural sites into accessible digital narratives, fostering civic participation, social inclusion, and digital literacy. It aligns with EU policies on heritage preservation by using digital technology to connect young people with historic landmarks and inspire coordinated civic action. The key objectives include identifying and documenting heritage buildings, creating digital narratives, developing interactive maps, and piloting the maps with youth workers and young people. Each city-specific map will include five heritage buildings marked with digital pins, providing text, visuals, and downloadable content for self-guided urban exploration. WP3 will also train youth workers in cultural heritage interpretation and digital storytelling.

ArchTech Mobile Application
Work Package 4 (WP4): ArchTech Mobile Application aims to empower youth workers and young people (16-35 years old) to apply their digital skills and cultural heritage knowledge by developing a mobile app for heritage protection. WP4 focuses on engaging young people in collective action to preserve endangered buildings in their cities. The key objectives include practical application of mobile app development training, enhancing digital skills, raising awareness of local architectural heritage challenges, and mobilizing youth for civic engagement. The "Buildings Alert!" mobile app will provide an interactive platform where users can document, report, and share information on at-risk buildings, creating a bridge between citizens, authorities, and preservation efforts. WP4 will involve youth workers and young people in roundtable discussions, pilot testing, and app development.
