workshop at Beit Hebbak School Transforming Cultural Heritage Education: Insights from MuseoLab This story is shared by Marilyne Haddad. She is a junior Researcher at MuseoLab, the Tandem Amwaj partner organisation in Lebanon. In this story, Marilyne shares her experience of working with the impact experiment on experiential learning and heritage education. As a junior researcher at the Lebanon-based NGO MuseoLab, I had the privilege of being deeply involved in a project aimed at revolutionising the teaching of cultural heritage in Lebanese schools and youth clubs. My role involved directly observing classroom interactions and analysing real-time survey data to understand the impact of experiential learning on students’ engagement with cultural heritage. In dynamic classrooms at institutions like Saint Jean, Beit Hebbak, and The Youth Club, the Bastion, I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of immersive learning experiences. From lively discussions sparked by hands-on activities to the palpable excitement as students explored artifacts and historical sites, it was clear that experiential learning was making a significant impact. workshop at Beit Hebbak School My role and responsibilities My responsibilities as a junior researcher included closely observing and documenting the dynamics between students and facilitators during these sessions. I paid particular attention to the level of engagement, participation, and understanding of cultural heritage concepts among the participants. Additionally, our team conducted immediate post-session surveys to gather students’ initial thoughts and perspectives, providing crucial real-time feedback to shape future sessions. workshop at Beit Hebbak School Back at the MuseoLab office, I meticulously analysed the survey data using tools like SPSS to identify trends, patterns, and insights. This analysis helped us pinpoint areas for improvement and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the success of our educational initiatives. Looking forward By combining in-the-moment survey analysis with direct observation, we were able to gain a deep understanding of the impact of experiential learning on cultural heritage education in Lebanon. Not only did we validate the effectiveness of our approach, but we also gleaned valuable insights that will inform future community education projects. I am excited to see how our research at MuseoLab will shape the future of cultural heritage education, both in Lebanon and beyond. The potential for transformative learning experiences through experiential education is truly inspiring, and I am eager to continue making a positive contribution in this field.
