VIA Culture: Recording Cardiff’s Religious Landscapes for Social Inclusion
Channel: Recording Archaeology
Date: 2019-06-16

VIA Culture aims to record and mobilize cultural heritage assets as tools for teaching English as an Additional Language and for providing social inclusion to refugees, asylum seekers and newly arrived migrant students. The project is currently recording Cardiff’s Butetown and Cardiff Bay religious buildings, past and present, in a single online interactive database/ georeferenced open educational resource. During the project New Arrival students will develop skills on building recording, data management, blogging, community engagement, geoinformatics, drawing, report writing, oral presentation, photography, videography, video editing, and they will learn about the importance that cultural heritage has for the promotion of social values.
