"""I type 'what' I am: digital tools for the promotion of our Cultural Heritage"", project aimed at students aged eleven-fourteen, has responded to the need to encourage new generations to the protection and promotion of their cultural identity. Young European citizens have discovered how rich and amazing the cultural heritage at the base of their own identity can be.

A journey, first virtual then real, towards the culture of another country to be able to capture its beauty and then to fully represent it through the creation of engaging outputs such as, for instance, video-games set in sites of interest to ""live"" the ""deeds"" of those who made history. To draw together two nations once belonging to two geographic areas distant from a political and socio-economic point of view, to study their entry into Europe, the recent past and, above all, the events when the two peoples shared common values, is a further element contributing to grow up better citizens of a better Europe. The two-year project included four short-term exchanges of students, journeys of eight days each, for twelve pupils at a time, useful for enhancing its outcomes in terms of knowledge of cultural heritage, digital and communication skills, civic and social competences.
