Erasmus+ Funded Professional Development | Seville, Spain 2026

Heritage in Seville outdoor learning experience for Erasmus+ teachers

About This Heritage and Outdoor Learning Teacher Training Course

Heritage in Seville: Outdoor Learning Experience invites educators to use the city as a living classroom. Through a place-based approach, participants explore how monuments, neighborhoods, museums, and public spaces can become powerful learning environments that connect students with history, identity, and active citizenship.

During the week, teachers engage in guided heritage walks, observation protocols, collaborative workshops, and field-based activities designed to transfer directly into school practice. The course combines pedagogy and real urban contexts so participants can design inclusive, experiential learning sequences that motivate students and develop key competences.

By the end of the course, each participant leaves with ready-to-use activities, project ideas, and a practical framework for integrating heritage, outdoor learning, and interdisciplinary teaching into their own educational setting.
