Introduction
The purpose of the O-City project is to discover and promote the natural and cultural heritage of our cities, and, at the same time, to stimulate the orange economy injecting technical and professional knowledge in natural and cultural promotion of the cities involved. On the one hand, the promotion of the natural and cultural heritage of the cities will be achieved by creating creative multimedia items (photo, video, comic, animation, podcast, …) of each city and upload them into the O-City World platform. On the other hand, with the aim to develop the creative economy of the cities, different courses have been developed for teachers about the creative multimedia items that will be located into the O-City platform. These courses include resources about how to put into practice the contents with their students. In this way, teachers and students will create new creative multimedia items of their own cities that, after being validated, will be uploaded to the O-City World platform.
Additionally, the development of cultural, soft and business skills is also necessary for new practitioners in the orange economy. For this reason, the O-City training plan consists of the following 4 skill modules:
- Module I. Heritage & Intellectual Property (IP): Basic content related to natural and cultural heritage (definition, classification, importance, etc.) and the protection of intellectual property (definition, categories, methods, etc.)
- Module II. Technical: Basic content needed to develop multimedia elements (photography, video, animation, etc.) on heritage.
- Module III. Business: Basic contents related to business and entrepreneurship skills in the orange economy (creation of business models, digital marketing, etc.)
- Module IV. Soft skills: Contents to stimulate creativity, critical thinking and in general interpersonal skills as a tool to improve professional integration.
The Cultural Heritage course is part of Module I. The aim of the course is to provide teachers and students a variety of skills such as the ability to assess the quality of cultural heritage and to identify its characteristics according to the general framework of UNESCO.
The topics that will be developed throughout the course are the definition of cultural and natural heritage according to UNESCO, the different types of cultural and natural heritage, and the need for preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage for the identity of social groups and development.
The following video introduces the course and explains the importance of cultural heritage in terms of identity, preservation of the coming generations, and development.

Spanish TraslationPulsa para colapsar
Information on the Spanish translation
O-City has translated this course into Spanish, but not everything has been translated. Basically, the users navigate through an LMS in English where at different points there is content translated into Spanish through PDF documents and subtitled videos.
In the O-City training programme, two types of videos and/or training pills have been developed:
- Videos showing a presentation with background music but without voice-over. In this case the translated information is contained in the course document T4.3, which compiles all the course information.
- Videos where a speaker explains a specific content, the introduction to a course, etc. In these videos, a translation of the original script has been elaborated to appear as subtitles in Spanish.
