As part of the project, we developed a technical handbook on how to design and implement inclusive and environmentally sustainable restoration and new construction projects by training young craftspeople and incorporating historic building techniques. The handbook is aimed at heritage institutions and architectural heritage practitioners, and educators. It focuses on issues of pedagogical approach, drawing on contemporary approaches to adult education, presenting theoretical and practical tools for the design of educational processes and the inclusion of vulnerable social groups.
