Manchester, UK - European Network of Living Labs Summer School Creative Ring Session, August 30 2013, presented by Breandán Knowlton.
In this presentation I argue that the cultural heritage of the past is a key ingredient to feed the creativity of the present, and specifically that the collected heritage of the Europeana project can feed the new "Living Labs" now established in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Creative Culture
1. CREATIVE CULTURE
Breandán Knowlton – @bfk
Europeana Foundation
European Network of Living Labs Summer School 2013 - Creative Ring Session
29 Aug 2013
Thanks for having me here in Manchester. My name is Breandán, and I’m the Chief Product
Officer of the Europeana Foundation.
I’m going to take about 15 minutes to ask three questions about reuse and creativity. But I’m
really trying to answer one of the themes of this session: what sort of connections should the
Creative Ring foster?
2. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
ONLY THOSE WITH NO
MEMORY INSIST ON THEIR
ORIGINALITY.
— ATTRIBUTED TO COCO CHANEL
I start with a quote attributed to Coco Chanel: Only those with no memory insist on their
originality.
Ironically, the quote is attributed because we don’t remember who said it first.
But it does raise the question:
3. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
Where do we
keep our
memories?
Where do we keep our memories? One place has always been:
4. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1810
Our brains. They’ve been with us since the beginning, and do a pretty good job. You put stuff
in, you take stuff out, just like in this 1810 illustration from a medical textbook.
But when you have groups of people collaborating (which we call culture), you need:
5. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1847
a place to put everything. To remember. And institutions are born so that these Victorians
could visit the Egypt Room of the British Museum in 1847 to learn and be inspired by cultures
far away from their own. When we put enough of our memories together,
6. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1860
We can start to put them on shelves, or even move them around like this perambulating
library of a guild of mechanics in 1860. You can move the memories of how to do something
directly to where the people are doing it. But when you look at the world,
7. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1596
That’s a lot of potential stores of memory and culture. Even in this map from 1596 the wide
extent of the world was pretty well known, and each group of people have their own
memories to keep. How do we keep and share them now?
8. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1969
Now we can use computers. Like this IBM 360 mainframe in 1969, we can put our memories
into databanks, and retrieve them anywhere. So we finally have a tool to help us with the
question.
9. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
Where do we
keep our
memories?
In a distributed
network of
computers.
Where do we keep our memories? Now, we keep them in a distributed network of computers.
So now these millions of outside sources exist – what does that have to do with the way we
think today?
10. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
ALL IDEAS ARE SECONDHAND,
CONSCIOUSLY AND
UNCONSCIOUSLY DRAWN FROM
A MILLION OUTSIDE SOURCES.
– MARK TWAIN
As Mark Twain said, “All ideas are secondhand, consciously and unconsciously drawn from a
million outside sources.” So our very thoughts are shaped by these memories, coming from
outside ourselves. But that raises the second question:
11. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
Do we reuse
… or remix?
Do we simply reuse these ideas, or do we remix, recycle, transform them into completely new
shapes? I think you can see where I’m going with this.
12. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1860
This clothing ad from 1860 shows the height of leading fashion for men. While moustaches
have now come back, some of the other shapes and fabrics seem strange ….
13. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1962
But is it really so far from those high collars and straight lines to this fashionable overcoat
from Hywel Jones, a Welsh fashion designer, in 1962? I’m sure he didn’t spend his time
poring through Victorian catalogues. But the idea, the memory persists as a kind of reuse. In
1940,
14. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1940
The Empire theatre in Scotland advertised their bands of the week. They use careful
woodblock typography, a clear grid, the same condensed gothic type that’s back in fashion
today. But 50 years later,
15. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1990
a Jane’s Addiction concert poster in Amsterdam seems to reject the idea of machine-set type,
even as the form of the letters still echoes the woodblock printing of a previous generation.
Re-use becomes a conscious Rejection, but still with Reference.
16. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
900
This illustration of an eyeball from an Islamic medical text in the year 900 might have been
echoed a thousand years later,
17. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1870
in the textbooks for this graduating class of surgeons and doctors in 1870, established by
the British to bring precious technical knowledge to the subcontinent of India. Not direct
reuse, but remembering what is important. So to answer our question,
18. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
Do we reuse
… or remix?
We build on what
has gone before.
do we reuse or remix, the answer is obvious: we build on what has gone before. Not literally,
perhaps, but in the flow of memory and culture and creativity. The creative industries of
fashion, graphic design and even medicine all depend on this constant process of
remembering and transforming. So creativity isn’t really the same thing as originality.
19. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
AUTHENTICITY IS INVALUABLE;
ORIGINALITY IS NON-EXISTENT.
– JIM JARMUSCH
Filmmaker Jim Jarmusch said that “Authenticity is invaluable, but originality is non-existent.”
If we reject the idea of isolated, unique originality, what we’re left with is a striving for the
authentic, the real. Raising my third question,
20. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
How do we
capture
authenticity?
How do we capture this authenticity? How do we move beyond imitation and create a true
sense of the real? One way is to look at the memories of an age.
21. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
2006
This Danish film poster from 2006 certainly tells us something about our attitude toward
teenagers, their habits, their fierce desire for independence. But just as much,
22. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1980
This ad for an Amsterdam leather shop in 1980 tells us something about that era just as
strongly. (Unfortunately, you won’t be able to un-see that image.). Moving back,
23. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1975
this migrant-rights poster from 1975 certainly tells us something about how The Netherlands
perceived foreigners. And if we want to really know nostalgia,
24. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1950
a poster for the Communist Youth movement in Hungary in 1950 captures perfectly that
sense of rural nostalgic euphoria, combined with the modern progressivism imagined by
central party planners. The memories of any age are strangely compelling to revisit,
25. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1180
like this cartoon from the year 1180 showing this poor peasant who just wants to burn the
bristles off a boar so he can have some dinner. Almost a thousand years later, can’t we tell
exactly what he’s thinking?
26. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
How do we
capture
authenticity?
We use
trustworthy
sources.
So we’ve answered part of the question. How do we capture authenticity in the absence of
unconnected originality? We use the trustworthy sources of each age and culture. Our
memories feed our sense of the authentic.
27. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
IT’S NOT WHERE YOU TAKE
THINGS FROM–IT’S WHERE
YOU TAKE THEM TO.
— ATTRIBUTED TO JEAN-LUC GODARD
But as Jean-Luc Godard (probably) said, “It’s not about where you take things from – it’s
where you take them to.” And in these days with our memories housed in computer systems
around the world, we need new tools. I work on one of them,
28. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
europeana.eu
called Europeana (where I sourced all of the images for this talk). It’s a website and data
service that connects some of these dots, where
29. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
europeana.eu
2,200 memory organisations
29 million digital objects
1 access point
5 years old
< 1% complete
More than 2,000 of these memory institutions, museums, archives, galleries, libraries,
audiovisual collections in 30 countries can share 29 million digital objects to create one
access point across countries and cultures. The project is about five years old, but is far, far
less than 1% complete.
30. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1985
Just as the railroads created new connections and economies, our mission is to be a catalyst
for change in the world of cultural heritage, and our network creates new ways for people to
engage with their creative and cultural history, for work, learning or pleasure. We also believe
that openly accessible heritage contributes to a thriving knowledge economy.
31. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1936
But we need to find new ways of connecting the dots. Like the intermodal “Railway Air
Services” of 1936 we need to connect individuals, SMEs, cities and technology partners to the
cultural institutions we represent, to enable this process of authentic and creative remix.
32. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1930
We think that we have the beginning of a solution, though we’re at the beginning and very far
from a cure-all. As part of a project called “Europeana Creative”, we’re starting a network of
Living Labs where we can prototype creative industry partnerships and applications along
with end users. These labs can be nexus points to engage creative industries, commercial
players and academics with cultural heritage in new ways.
33. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
In Helsinki, Brussels, Paris, Barcelona and Palma we’re all ready to get going with new pilot
projects in design, history and science education, cultural tourism and social networks. Next
year we’ll begin public challenges in London, Amsterdam and Berlin to select projects that we
can help incubate.
34. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
1920
But this is very new for us, and we need advice, resources and connections. Lack of
knowledge can be a dangerous thing, just like for the Russians at risk of cholera in this public
health campaign. But if you can help us to avoid the dangers and risks of this approach, it
really leaves only one question:
35. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
What do you
want to
make?
Once you have immediate access to the science and culture of centuries, what do you want to
make?
36. @bfk | ENoLL Summer School | 29 August 2013
So, let’s connect!
b @ breandan.orgeuropeana.eu
So, let’s connect our creative cultures. Thank you very much for your very kind attention.
