Abstract: The value of cultural heritage for sustainable development has been acknowledged since the mid-20th century. Built heritage plays a key role in preserving identity, memory, and, currently, aiding education through mobile technology. The integration of education, heritage, and technology presents opportunities for innovation and originality, which are crucial for engaging students in sustainability.
