The Micro-Credential Program (MCP) builds on the "CHePiCC online MOOC" and offers the opportunity to summarise your experiences and findings from the four units of the MOOC in a reflecting paper. You will engage intensively with the topic of "Cultural Property Protection and Climate Change". Besides the introspective part, where you will be asked to critically reflect on the interdisciplinary content of the course, you will also be asked to apply your learning to a practical cultural landscape case study from your personal environment.

The 'CHePiCC online, MCP' is part of the Stackable Program and can be flexibly combined with other continuing education programs up to the 'Cultural Property Protection, MSc (CE)'. It can be completed at your own pace, independent of time and location, offering participants maximum flexibility and individual integration into their working lives.

    Requirement: Successful completion of Module 1 (Course Certificate)

    In this module you will summarise your experiences and insights from the four units of the MOOC (Module 1) in a reflective paper and critically discuss the content you have learnt. All four units of the MOOC have to be covered.
    In this reflective paper, you will discuss what you took away from the MOOC, what was new to you, what you have learned, what you have enjoyed and what you would have liked to see covered in addition. At the same time, take a critical look at the aspects of the MOOC that you did not like.

    In addition to reflecting on the course content, you are required to include a case study on a cultural landscape or heritage site of your choice. For the case study, we encourage you to choose a cultural landscape or heritage site that you know well and that fascinates you personally - because it is close to where you live, because you like to visit it, because it has always fascinated you, because you know the challenges it has to face, etc.

    Based on the content of the MOOC, you will describe the chosen case study, including visual material, and analyse the impact of climate change and climate-related risks or disasters on the chosen cultural heritage site or cultural landscape. The reasons for selecting the case study will also be explained.

    This module will provide you with the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of cultural property protection, to discuss practical approaches and to engage with the challenges of climate change for cultural heritage.


    Total length of the paper: 24,000 - 30,000 characters (including spaces)

The "CHePiCC online, MCP" consists of two modules:

Module 1 is the online course "CHePiCC online MOOC", which can be started at any time after registering on the online platform iMooX.
After completing the online course, you will receive an iMooX Course Certificate, which is a prerequisite for Module 2: Reflecting Paper of the MCP.
There is currently no set timeframe for completing the two modules.

Upon successful completion of both modules you will receive 6 ECTS credits. The total working time indicated on the certificate is 150 hours.
