Community

Our school tour program engages school and university students with our innovative digital heritage projects for cultural and pedagogical purposes. These engagements aim to spark early interest in cultural identity, creative technology, and digital literacy among local children and youth. We launched this program in response to mounting requests of the local community to engage with our projects and reduce school and university group visiting loads on our office.

Since our founding in 2021, our team has been organizing or participating in various public events for reaching out to and engaging thousands of community members with our innovative digital heritage projects. Our outreach at major cultural, academic, and technology festivals such as HITEX and TechFest has been informing and inspiring many community members and youth. So far, over 30,000 community members and international visitors have engaged with our state-of-art projects.

Through guest lectures and invited public speaking, we actively contribute to local and international discussions on heritage preservation, digital heritage, genocide education, freedom of religion or belief, post-conflict memory, and climate change. Our team has presented applied research and digital storytelling tools at events organized by esteemed international universities and institutions such as the University of Reading, University of Glasgow, King’s College London, University of Warwick, University of Pennsylvania, University of Arizona, Masaryk University, University of Oxford, Genocide Watch, Minority Rights Group International, and CREID (UK), the London Centre for the Ancient Near East (LCANE), and the Vorderasiatisches Museum Smithsonian.
