Google funds culture, education programmes to remake its image

New York

A YEARLONG digital training course for Irish high school teachers started in 2014. A fund to help European news outlets adapt to the Web popped up in 2015. And in March, a virtual reality exhibition began at a Belgian museum to showcase a Renaissance painter.

All these projects are aimed at supporting European culture and education, helping the region embrace the fast-changing online world. And all are financed by Google.
