Since 2003, Momentum (MMS) have worked in developing progressive learning programmes and platforms for education with special focus on cultural heritage tourism innovations that transformational impact on cultural heritage organisations, local communities and rural economies. Their expertise as a tourism and cultural heritage VET provider has been valued by national organisations in Ireland including: Fáilte Ireland, at regional level by Local Authorities (where they have assisted in the development of cultural heritage tourism strategies), Local Enterprise Offices and Skillnet training networks (who have engaged the education wing of MMS to deliver cultural and creative accelerator programmes).
MMS are also active in this space in Europe. They have been designed and currently delivering game-changing European projects which are complementary to Cultural Heritage 2.0 and also seek to assist the regeneration of the European cultural heritage sector post COVID-19 crisis. We lead dissemination on the Cultural Heritage 2.0 project through our strong marketing division specialising in brand development, multimedia content generation, communication strategies and social media.
