About the project

MI.MOMO.FARO is an educational project within the framework of the Faro Convention and the local cultural strategy. It falls under the theme of cultural heritage, with a strong educational component, where students are challenged to explore several buildings of the Modern Movement of Faro through Minecraft: Education Edition. Based on the exploration of Skills for the 21st Century, it is based on an interdisciplinary vision articulated with the school curriculum, using new digital technologies and the game based learning approach. It promotes the democratization of culture, heritage and access to digital technologies in a school environment.

New European Bauhaus Framework

MI.MOMO.FARO presents itself as an inspiring project in the context of the New European Bauhaus movement because it draws attention to the importance of cultural heritage, especially this recent one, as a source of identity, sustainable development, inspiration, belonging and responsibility of all. By putting young people in contact with the architecture of the Modern Movement, which so characterizes the urban landscape of Faro, we are contributing to its preservation and to its sustainable use in the future, as well as to the apprehension of methods and techniques closely linked to aesthetic, functional and environmental values, so characteristic of the architecture of this period and so adapted to our territory. Through game-based learning, we are democratising access to culture, heritage and digital technologies in education, contributing to the construction of a more aware, balanced and sustainable society. We believe it can make a difference in the future of new generations and also in the future of education and the city.
