The FHW participated in and organised the official launch of the European project MusEducate: Explore, Create, Share, on 3 December 2025. The project brings together six organisations from Greece, Poland, Cyprus, Ireland and Portugal. Among them is the Foundation of the Hellenic World (FHW), all sharing a common ambition to transform local museums into dynamic, inclusive and digitally empowered spaces for adult education, community engagement and intergenerational learning. The project is co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Programme (Cooperation Partnerships in Adult Education) and will run for 32 months.
The Role of the FHW
The FHW is a cultural and research institution with extensive experience in heritage education, historical research, digital storytelling, multimedia exhibitions and immersive technologies.

DIMITRA Education & Consulting SA (Greece, coordinator) · ASTRONOD Sp. z o.o. (Poland) · M.M.C Management Center Limited (Cyprus) · The Rural Centre Project Network CLG (Ireland) · Museus e Monumentos de Portugal, E.P.E. (Portugal) · Foundation of the Hellenic World (Greece)
Next Steps
The partners have already engaged museum professionals, adult learners, community representatives and cultural organisations in research activities. In the coming months, they will continue with focus groups and participatory workshops, whose findings will inform the MOOC, the digital platform and the pilot activities. MusEducate is not only about preserving the past; it is about equipping communities with the tools to reinterpret it, share it and use it to support learning, inclusion and active participation in the present.
