The main objective of the project was to provide onilne adult educational learning materials on photogrammetry that operated with digital, illustrated contents and used interactive features while teahcing about the best practice methods of photogrammetry and the effective further usage of the collected raw materials. The materials of the learning materials were collected through photogrammetric surveys, which effectively helped collecting survey data on the selected buildings as a highly competitive alternative to traditional survey technology. The collected raw materials of the surveys were then processed to different kinds of products, showing the wide usage and versatility of these outputs which range from spherical panoramas and interactive 3D models to 2D architectural drawings and BIM models. The usage of the results were of two kinds: to illustrate the Digital Handbook and promote the benefits of photogrammetry as well as the learning materials of the project. The photogrammetric educational materials offer relatively easy access for starting a new lifetime occupation, making the contents of the programme ideal adult educational products that offer useful knowledge, skills and competences, especially for young adults.

1. Project management activities (WP1) and the organisation of meetings / survey camps + multiplier events (WP2) in every country of the partnership. When it was solveable, the survey camps were organised together with meetings. 2. The basis of the project was the realisation of 4 survey camps in rural or disadvantaged regions selected from the countries of the partnership, where photogrammetric surveys were carried out on 4 historical monuments with the help of photogrammetry methods, using cameras and drones, recording both the interiors and the outer envelope of these buildings. The selected monuments were mostly representatives of vernacular architecture including a windmill (Tes, Hungary), a watermill (Trenta, Slovenia), a wooden church (Chidea, Romania) and a tennis pavilion (Porto, Portugal).The collected image-form data were used in different ways afterwards, resulting in different project results from the same source (WP3). 3. Partners of the programme assembled 2D and 3D materials for representation and promotional purposes for the educational materials and the programme (WP3). 4. The consortium also assembled educational materials: a handbook (WP5), quizzes (WP6) and an online platform for the products (WP4).

The final outputs of the project were the following results: - Educational Platform & Homepage (WP4) is an adult learning webpage that hosts all other results and which is accessible on the following link: https://snap-plus.eu - Photogrammetry results of 4 survey camps realised by the programme (WP2-WP3): spherical panoramas, interactive 3D models, 2D architectural plans extended with descriptions, videos and galleries. These results represent the knowledge, skills and competences that can be acquired through learning from the main educational material of the programme: the Digital & Pdf-form Educational Handbook. Link: https://snap-plus.eu/surveys/ - Digital & Pdf-form Educational Handbook (WP5) is a 86-page long learning material which is embedded to the educational platform and which teaches about some preferred methodologies of photogrammetry, specifically used for surveying vernacular monuments and other smaller buildings. Its content is largely based on the best practice examples of the 4 survey camps (WP3), realised as Case Studies.
