This introductory course helps you to understand how to find collections on Europeana.eu, how collections from institutions across Europe are brought together on the Europeana.eu website, and how you can use collections on Europeana.eu to help you reach a range of different audiences. The course will introduce you to Europeana.eu’s target audiences and the editorial formats available to connect with them. At the end of the course you will have created a gallery to share on social media.
