Finds Stories is an interdisciplinary project that aims at utilising and interpreting European Cultural Heritage assets through new technologies with the view to promote second language acquisition and strengthen the social inclusion of minority groups. This project's priority is to record object biographies along with their tangible and intangible heritage significance in order to establish second language acquisition tools. The participation of young people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures, religions, languages, mindsets, and perspectives will allow them to gain and enjoy social inclusion through innovative practices and universal digital approaches. For the achievement and the completion of this project's aims, several mediums will be utilised. The recording of Cultural Heritage objects with 3D methods, the production of the object biographies through creative arts, and the creation of lesson plans and educational resources. All these mediums will help educators to develop Cultural Heritage awareness and language competence. Finds Stories are delivered through a dual approach that leads through five phases of activities to the achievement of project objectives and results: A) a methodology to index and creatively investigate biographies of cultural heritage (CH) objects - finds - that can promote EU values of human dignity and rights, democracy and equality, and advocate the value of the free movement of people, ideas, and goods across the continent and B) a methodology that teaches second language through the Creative Object Biographies (COBs). Finds Stories aims to produce six different intellectual outputs, including an interactive resource, an open online course, a handbook, academic, and policy papers, along with an exhibition. These intellectual outputs are providing educators, researchers, academics, museum curators and visitors, multicultural classrooms students and the wider public with free, open access, tools that allow them to explore, understand and interpret the local European Cultural Heritage and its narratives and stories. Finds Stories aspires to offer resources that promote cultural awareness, equality, and acceptance, help participants to improve their research, and digital skills, and finally contribute to the development of active European citizens.
