TOMATO “The Original Museum Available To Overall project”, aims to facilitate the transnational distribution of creative, cultural and artistic content on an international scale and raise the competitiveness and economic potential of this sector. In particular it seeks to increase the audience engagement and social inclusion of the public in situations of social, economic and cultural marginalization, and to enhance the learning skills of minors, through an innovative educational tool for audience engagement.

The project will be structured by the following activities: research, planning and realization of the Tomato kit as an innovative tool, training to developers and stakeholders, testing and feedback collection. This “Tomato Kit – Food for thought“ will consist of an experiential kit that transmits the cultural contents relating to the identified European museum heritage, both physically and digitally (web app and social media). These kits will be designed and co-produced thanks to the co-operation of the 16 project partners, which are also needed for testing and validating the product and the educational method through users testing and evaluation of kit’s performances.

SKRATELJC Institute works as a group of creators, artists, researchers and experts from various fields (pedagogues, experimental archaeologists, art historians, designers…). In particular, it will focus on imparting knowledge to children at the intersection of culture and nature. The epidemic has taught us that the cultural sector needs to become more resilient and responsive to crises. Therefore, SKRATELJC Institute will pay attention to how to develop the TOMATO kit in such a way that it will be as useful as possible in such aggravated circumstances, that it will also be useful for outdoor cultural content and that it will be possible to capture not only cultural and artistic content but also science, nature and sports.
