Living laboratories

for cultural heritage

Work in the cultural heritage field of UP FHŠ
includes research work and higher education
teaching. With the intention of transferring cur-
rent knowledge to students and providing them
with a quality foundation for work in the profes-
sion, we have developed a series of educational
activities that enable an interactive and practi-
cal way of learning and teaching, cooperation
with society and various stakeholders, and a
real study environment as a living laboratory for
transfer and verification of theoretical and prac-
tical knowledge about heritage. The focus of the
work and the critical points of this living lab are
the Simon’s Bay Archaeological Park and the old
town of Koper.
The management of the Simon’s Bay Archaeolog-
ical Park also includes implementing activities,
among which student projects enable informal
education and creative creation of various con-
tents in a real work environment. The projects
intervene creatively in multiple areas, including
those that stand out from the classic view and
perception of heritage. While working and de-
signing programmes for different target groups,
students prepare for work in a real environment.
A significant achievement is the two-sided learn-
ing process, which represents the added value
of education. The activities to date have quali-
tatively linked work with heritage by intertwining
various topics and skills, such as conservation,
restoration, sports heritage, teaching foreign
languages, and creative interpretation.
