Project in Brief

Connecting Historical Memory and Future Technologies

The Erasmus+ project “A.B.C. — AI Bridging Cultural Heritage” brings together secondary schools, educators and students from Estonia, Italy, Poland, Greece, Portugal, and Turkey. Our mission is to preserve, digitize, and bring European cultural heritage to life using artificial intelligence, 3D photogrammetry, and neural storytelling. Students step into the role of researchers: scanning historical landmarks, training neural vision models to classify architectural styles, and building an open digital heritage repository for schools across Europe.

Core Methodology

Four Pillars of Our Heritage Innovation

How schools bridge centuries of European history with 21st-century technology.

Computer Vision

Training neural networks on thousands of architectural photographs to accurately classify Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance elements.

3D Photogrammetry

Using regular student smartphones to capture high-density point clouds and reconstruct interactive digital 3D models of local heritage.

Transnational Mobilities

Hands-on collaborative workshops in Tallinn, Braga, Florence, Kraków and Heraklion with mixed international teams.

Open School Toolkit

Freely accessible lesson plans, code repositories, and pedagogical guidelines published in all consortium languages.
