Europeana is Europe's digital platform for cultural heritage, founded and funded by the European Commission. The presentation will introduce Europeana as an educational resource and show how open cultural data can bring value to open education. In particular, we will present our rich and diverse collections (on many themes, in many media types and languages); focus on the variety of curated resources, ranging from thematic collections to virtual exhibitions and provide examples of interactive and free educational resources with digital cultural heritage content. Finally, we will also tell more about the online tools which will allow educators, instructional designers and technologists to enrich their digital educational materials and activities with open cultural data and inspire learners of all ages.
