Aga Khan Trust for Culture Education Programme

A collection of learning resources developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Education Programme is designed to share the wealth of knowledge and learning accumulated by the Aga Khan Award for Architecture and the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme.  The Education Programme works with partner institutions and experts to develop: teaching materials and resources, curricula and teaching modules and online courses for specialised and general audiences. This growing collection includes presentation slides that can be used in the classroom or online courses; materials from and links to Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs); recorded lectures, presentations, and symposia; and reports on events of the AKTC Education Programme.
