Maintaining Historic Buildings and Objects through Developing and Up-grading Individual Skills of Project Managers: Fostering European Heritage and Culture for Years to come

Description

Europe has a fascinating history and various historic sites, which demonstrate imperial glory and power, which attract tourists and students of different disciplines like architecture, building culture, but also cause serious concerns. In Austria, a vast number of buildings are considered of great historic value. On one hand each building causes costs for maintenance, on other hand they need to be kept in shape to fulfil the requirements of modern life and commercial needs. Staff of bodies looking after such historic buildings does need specific skills in order to ensure that Austrian sites, historic buildings of the UK and Amalfi coast villas are available for future generations – and at the same time can be utilised for several purposes to cover costs. Nowadays you find offices, flats, museums, shops, cafés and restaurants and many other ways of utilising those buildings and above all we can learn about environmentally friendly building techniques.The aim of “MODI-FY” - Maintaining Historic Buildings and Objects through Developing and Up-grading Individual Skills of Project Managers: Fostering European Heritage and Culture for Years to come” is to provide professionals with the required certified skills and competences to help Responsible Bodies (RBs) in developing innovative VET; this includes -recognition of previous learning and already available skills -establishment of a European certificate issued by ECQA-train-the-trainer education for experts in maintenance management of historic buildings and sites.The Aims of MODI-FY are:* Recognition of prior learning (non-formally and informally acquired)* Development of specific (holistic = containing various aspects of management of historic buildings as described above) training for employees and volunteers of RBs, their suppliers and subcontractors to include the evaluation of innovative teaching techniques;* Creation of new job opportunities for young people and securing the jobs of current staff* Establishment of a European training and certification system, linking into ECVET and Skills Passport, which allows transferability of skills into other EU countries* European Standards for assessing the state of preservationObjectives:* Assessment of prior learning in partner and associate partner organisation* Specific and individual needs analysis of staff and volunteers concerned* Research/Adaption of appropriate tools for recognition of prior learning* Development of specific basic blended training modules for people working in the field* Development of blended train-the trainer training material and training modules* Testing and modifying training modules for people working in the field and trainers (pilot course modules in Budapest, Vienna, Bilzen and Ravello)* Conducting training modules (real course module in Manchester)* Certification of learners and trainersBeing able to have prior learning and available skills recognised is an important motivation factor for staff, while it also is a tool to select appropriate partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for building projects. Annual budgets for managing historic buildings are likely to be reduced in times of crisis and cost effectiveness becomes more and more an issue for responsible bodies. Therefore the project managers are also under pressure for providing high quality work outcomes. This is only possible when project managers are excellently trained and educated and this was the ultimate goal of “MODI-FY”.The need for innovative VET for the target groups were met by developing a model of certified education for maintenance management of historic buildings and sites. In a blended training approach old and new skills and competences were merged into a standard requirement for current and future employees of the partner organisations as well as their suppliers and subcontractors.The consortium of MODI-FY consists of 9 organisations from 7 EU countries:5 responsible bodies (RB)3 training institutions1 certification body During the project duration partners established and developed-7 country reports on educational offers in the field-clear standards and terminology for VET of professionals working in/with historic buildings-2 curricula for VET of project managers of historic buildings and 1 for train-the-trainer called “Heritage Asset Management”-4 pilot course modules of “Heritage Asset Management” for the target groups-a certification procedure and online exam platform-1 real-time course module for project managers of “Heritage Asset Management”The project results are made available to other organisations around Europe and the World after completion of the project. By offering a certified training, acknowledged by ECQA, linking it into ECVET and European Skills Passport, “MODI-FY” helps responsible bodies to guarantee the survival of European historic treasures and protected heritage.
