In the framework of the MEMORY project we developed an e-learning course focusing on the issue of identification, valorization and promotion of collective memory in the local communities. The course is organised through an e-learning platform specially adapted for this purpose which contains also tools that allow the organisation of e-youth work for the specific case of young people with disabilities.
