CAPuS e-learning platform for the Conservation of Art in Public Spaces

CAPuS - Conservation of Art in Public Spaces is a three year project co-funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliances Programme (www.capusproject.eu) inspired by the lack of specific actions aimed at the conservation of street art/urban art and of dedicated academic teaching modules and training activities. The project delivered an educational platform aimed at filling this lack. An "alliance" of 17 partners has developed a research methodology and conservation guidelines, which have been the basis for the design and implementation of the teaching platform. Two online open courses are currently offered: the self-learning course is addressed to students in conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage and to professionals and operators in the field; the other is addressed to lecturers and provides materials, resources and strategies to prepare engaging and innovative lessons on the themes of the project.
