This project aims to reconstruct an ancient Roman square using immersive 3D environments and AI-powered characters — allowing users to “walk through history” and experience a day in the life of a Roman citizen. From conversing with a merchant to observing a blacksmith or attending a public forum, this idea brings archaeology to life in a way that is interactive, educational, and deeply human. This kind of virtual preservation supports SDG 11.4 by promoting cultural awareness and digital access to heritage, especially for those unable to travel to physical sites. It would also open new ways to teach history through experience, not just textbooks. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.

Author agillen7 DescriptionEN English Description The Wai Kru a traditional Thai ritual deeply embedded in the practice of Muay Thai, the national sport of Thailand. The term “Wai Kru” translates directly to “paying respect to the teacher,” and the ritual takes the form of a carefully choreographed sequence of movements performed by fighters prior to their bouts. These movements are symbolic expressions of respect, gratitude, discipline, and spiritual protection. Accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of the Sarama — a traditional ensemble featuring Thai drums, cymbals, and the Pi Java (a distinctive woodwind instrument) — the Wai Kru is both a cultural performance and a spiritual act. Whilst its original and traditional meaning is to honour one’s Muay Thai trainer, the ritual is additionally performed outside of this context, such as in schools, where students annually pay respect to their teachers in the “Wai Kru” festival (Chai Lai Orchid, n.d.). In this way, whilst Muay Thai itself is of unmatched significance as an activity in Thai culture, its Wai Kru is additionally important itself - symbolising the country’s national emphasis on “Kreng Jai” (meaning respect), accompanied by deeply engrained hierarchy of respect Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.

This life-sized cat statue, housed in the British Museum, was dedicated to the goddess Bastet—protector of women, fertility, and home. The statue is richly adorned, featuring golden nose rings, earrings, and a scarab necklace, reflecting both the sacred symbolism and the aesthetic refinement of the time. Named after Major Robert Grenville Gayer-Anderson, who donated the statue in 1939, it stands today as a symbol of ancient Egyptian religion and artistic craftsmanship. Digital technologies such as 3D scanning, virtual exhibition, and AR exploration allow audiences worldwide to appreciate its intricate details and historical context without risking damage to the original.

At the end of the 19th century, Gulangyu became an important window for trade between China and foreign countries, gathering consulates, churches, hospitals, schools and other buildings from more than 20 countries, forming a unique urban style combining Chinese and Western aspects. There are more than 1,000 historical buildings preserved on the island, which is a witness of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Gulangyu Island is also known as the "piano Island" and has a deep musical tradition. It was added to the World Cultural Heritage List in 2017. The digital preservation and display of Gulangyu helps mitigate the impact of overtourism on the historic district and raise public awareness of cultural heritage protection.

Author lw286@st-andrews.ac.uk DescriptionEN English Description The ancient streets of Yixian County, located in Anhui Province, China, come alive every year with a vibrant Lantern Festival that illuminates the historic Huizhou-style buildings. During the festival, hundreds of handmade lanterns—crafted in traditional forms and materials—are displayed along narrow stone-paved streets, transforming the town into a glowing corridor of cultural expression. These lanterns carry deep symbolic meaning, representing prosperity, reunion, and ancestral respect, while embodying the artistic craftsmanship passed down through generations. The festival fuses tangible and intangible heritage: the fixed architectural setting of Yixian’s grey-walled, tile-roofed buildings and the living cultural practice of lantern-making, storytelling, and communal celebration. Digital heritage tools—such as nighttime 360° mapping, oral history recordings, and augmented reality projections—can capture the multi-sensory experience of this event and ensure its transmission to younger audiences.

The church was first built in the 10th century, and the existing building was built in 1245, which has a history of more than 700 years. It has been the site of the coronation of British monarchs since 1066, and is the final resting place of more than 3,000 important British figures, including poets, scientists, and politicians. As a working church and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Westminster Abbey is of great cultural, architectural and religious value. The digital display of Westminster Abbey helps to reduce the direct impact of visitors on the building itself, protect heritage safety and increase public engagement. At the same time, open access to online resources also supports community cultural heritage and urban heritage preservation, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Cities and Communities goal (SDG 11).

Author lw286@st-andrews.ac.uk DescriptionEN English Description The ancient streets of Yixian County, located in Anhui Province, China, come alive every year with a vibrant Lantern Festival that illuminates the historic Huizhou-style buildings. During the festival, hundreds of handmade lanterns—crafted in traditional forms and materials—are displayed along narrow stone-paved streets, transforming the town into a glowing corridor of cultural expression. These lanterns carry deep symbolic meaning, representing prosperity, reunion, and ancestral respect, while embodying the artistic craftsmanship passed down through generations. The festival fuses tangible and intangible heritage: the fixed architectural setting of Yixian’s grey-walled, tile-roofed buildings and the living cultural practice of lantern-making, storytelling, and communal celebration. Digital heritage tools—such as nighttime 360° mapping, oral history recordings, and augmented reality projections—can capture the multi-sensory experience of this event and ensure its transmission to younger audiences. This project supports SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, as it promotes local identity, heritage-based tourism, and the preservation of community traditions.

Photo taken by myself Description An account of the resource Located in the heart of Yixian County in Anhui Province, the historic ancient street is a living embodiment of traditional Huizhou culture. Especially captivating at night, the street transforms into a glowing corridor of lanterns—delicate, pink-hued lights that hang rhythmically from traditional Anhui-style grey-tiled buildings. These lanterns are more than decorative; they symbolize peace, reunion, and the continuity of local traditions. The street layout, architectural style, and community life remain largely preserved, reflecting centuries of Hui merchant culture and Confucian values. Digital documentation through photography, virtual night tours, and 3D mapping can preserve the night-time ambiance of this street for future generations. The project contributes to SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities by promoting cultural identity, safeguarding living heritage, and encouraging responsible tourism.

Author lw286@st-andrews.ac.uk DescriptionEN English Description The ancient streets of Yixian County, located in Anhui Province, China, come alive every year with a vibrant Lantern Festival that illuminates the historic Huizhou-style buildings. During the festival, hundreds of handmade lanterns—crafted in traditional forms and materials—are displayed along narrow stone-paved streets, transforming the town into a glowing corridor of cultural expression. These lanterns carry deep symbolic meaning, representing prosperity, reunion, and ancestral respect, while embodying the artistic craftsmanship passed down through generations. The festival fuses tangible and intangible heritage: the fixed architectural setting of Yixian’s grey-walled, tile-roofed buildings and the living cultural practice of lantern-making, storytelling, and communal celebration. Digital heritage tools—such as nighttime 360° mapping, oral history recordings, and augmented reality projections—can capture the multi-sensory experience of this event and ensure its transmission to younger audiences. This project supports SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, as it promotes local identity, heritage-based tourism, and the preservation of community traditions.

Xiangdong Liu Intangible History Ta Moko has been practiced by the Māori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) for centuries, with its origins dating back to pre-European times, likely before the 14th century. It was traditionally performed using chisels (uhi) to carve permanent patterns into the skin, resulting in textured, three-dimensional tattoos unique to each individual. The designs conveyed deep meanings, representing a person's genealogy (whakapapa), social rank, tribal affiliations, and life experiences. Ta Moko was an important rite of passage, particularly for men entering adulthood and warriors gaining status, as well as for women on the chin and lips to signify identity and maturity. During the 19th and 20th centuries, colonization and cultural suppression led to a sharp decline in the practice of Ta Moko. However, since the late 20th century, there has been a powerful cultural resurgence. Contemporary Māori artists and communities are reclaiming and revitalizing Ta Moko as a form of resistance, identity, and cultural pride. Today, Ta Moko is widely recognized as a symbol of Māori resilience and a living tradition passed down across generations.

Wikipedia; Te Papa Tongarewa – Museum of New Zealand Description An account of the resource Ta Moko is the traditional tattooing practice of the Māori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand), distinguished by intricate spiral patterns carved into the skin. Unlike decorative tattoos, Ta Moko is deeply symbolic, representing one's genealogy, social status, tribal affiliations, and personal achievements. Historically, the practice involved chiseling the skin with uhi (carving tools), leaving textured grooves. While Ta Moko declined during colonization, it has seen cultural revival since the late 20th century, especially among younger Māori reclaiming their identity. Today, Ta Moko is considered a living expression of Indigenous knowledge, cultural resilience, and ancestral storytelling.

Xiangdong Liu Intangible Prim Media 3487 History Scottish Gaelic songs have a long and rich history dating back to the early modern period (c. 1600s) and possibly earlier. These songs were traditionally transmitted orally within communities in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, including areas such as Skye, the Outer Hebrides, and Argyll. They served diverse social and cultural functions — from storytelling, ritual, and work rhythms (such as waulking songs), to lullabies and expressions of love or grief. Many of these songs are deeply tied to the Gaelic worldview and environment, evoking landscape, kinship, and seasonal cycles. Although the number of native Gaelic speakers declined in the 19th and 20th centuries due to anglicisation and migration, revival efforts began in the late 20th century. Today, Gaelic songs are preserved through community performances, schools, folk festivals, and digital archives, sustaining a living link to Scotland’s Celtic heritage.

UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage resources; Historic Environment Scotland Description An account of the resource Òran Mòr ("Great Song") refers to a body of traditional Scottish Gaelic songs passed down through oral tradition for centuries in the Highlands and Islands. These songs reflect the emotional, social, and historical identity of Gaelic-speaking communities. They range from laments to love songs, work chants to epic ballads, often sung unaccompanied or with minimal instrumentation. Today, organizations and cultural initiatives actively work to record, perform, and teach these songs to younger generations. This intangible cultural heritage contributes to the preservation of the endangered Scottish Gaelic language and the revitalization of Highland identity in Scotland.

After 2010, due to tightening government regulations ordering removal of signs that did not "meet government regulations", their numbers have plummeted to less than 400. After the city’s handover to China in 1997, there have been tightening regulations on ‘unauthorized’ neon signs and enhanced safety regulations, with removal orders issued spiking in 2017-2021. As paperwork to appeal for authorization of the signs is complicated and upkeep of the signs get more expensive, more shopkeepers have elected to remove the signs in favor of switching to cheaper LED alternatives.
