Tourism and monuments
In times of the obsession with profit and growth, natural and social
resources are exploited in all corners of the world. Yet, the urge
to radically rethink the system sneaked into various levels. Many
creative and forward-looking professionals are actively searching
for new spaces of opportunity, to shape and test new modes of
economic production and responsible social fabric. Rural areas
have become relevant places for experimentation - smaller in size,
providing more time and space, with less hierarchical governance
structures.
Contemporary performing arts in a rural context are an integral
part of that exercise of imagining a different future. Moreover,
contemporary art in rural areas have been nurturing and shaping
local narratives for ages. However, contemporary artistic practices
have gone almost unnoticed in many funding schemes - both
cultural programmes and rural development funds, which tend to
focus on economic assets of only a few sectors.
In the past few years, IETM has organised a sequence of sessions
and one entire meeting on the subject of art in rural areas. Some of
the brightest art professionals engaging with rurality have created
an AREA (art in rural areas) focus group within our network
and continued their exchange during IETM events and beyond.
Through the dialogue within that group and with other members
experienced and interested in the topic, we have discovered a
fascinating, vibrant and powerful world of contemporary arts in
rural areas.
Today, more than ever, we want to turn the global attention to that
hugely important world.
When creating this publication, we realised it is urgent to find
unconventional approaches to the arts in rural areas. We need
to identify innovative solutions to support the rural arts in their
endeavour of working transversally with other sectors. We have
to seize the momentum and potential of rural arts to help reinvent
the system. Today, when our planet needs it the most.
We hope the present publication sets a strong and fertile ground
for reflecting on those ambitions. Please get in touch with us
(ietm@ietm.org) or write us on our forum (www.ietm.org/forums)
if you wish to further the debate.
We are very grateful to the three authors for their insightful and
sincere contributions. We also heartily thank our members and
other art professionals who shared their practices, stories, views
and experiences with us - through the ongoing exchange during
IETM meetings and via the open call we announced in July - August
2019. Some of the cases collected through the call are presented
in the annexes.
The publication “Arts in Rural Areas” is part of a collaborative
trajectory, which embraces three other European cultural
networks - Culture Action Europe, European Network of Cultural
Centres, and Trans Europe Halles. The policy paper “Beyond the
urban”, which you can read below, is the product of our joint work.
It is still in progress and subject to comments and suggestions
for improvement. We will pre

As we are approaching an end to the restrictions associated with COVID-19, it seems a good time to reflect on the disruptions and focus on how technology might be applied to avoid the same situation happening again. It is almost inevitable, in my opinion, that our pre-COVID lifestyles and travel/mobility will almost certainly lead to future pandemics and whilst the lessons learnt in fast-tracking clinical research and development of new drugs and vaccines will help to mitigate the situation, it does not alter the pressing need to shift focus from cure to prevention.
Digital Health and Digital Therapeutics technologies can help to protect the future sustainability of public health services through personal physical and mental health management whilst Digital Medicine will enable early detection of clinical problems and a range of innovative new solutions for cures.
This month’s E-Newsletter includes details of previous and upcoming events where the focus has been on addressing some of the challenges of preventative healthcare, especially in the area of the Ageing Society. Links to archived presentations and future events are included and we hope you will enjoy the past presentations and register for some of the upcoming events.
Digital therapeutics and immersive technologies Bournemouth UniversityDavid Wortley
Digital therapeutics is a fast growing area of digital medicine. In this presentation, Vice President of the International Society of Digital Medicine (ISDM), David Wortley, sets out the current challenges to global health sustainability and the importance of shifting the focus from cure to prevention, especially in the use of digital technologies for personal health management and therapeutics.
The presentation includes examples of digital therapeutic applications for neuro- rehabilitation, gamified exercise using consumer VR devices and support for dementia sufferers through digital memories.
The presentation was delivered at the new Faculty for Health and Social Sciences at Bournemouth University.

The Future of Digital Medicine in the Aging SocietyDavid Wortley
Global Health and sustainable improvements in the
well‑being of humans are seriously threatened by two
societal phenomena.
The aging society
Across the globe, falling birth rates and increased life
expectancies have led to significant increases in the
percentage of citizens aged over 65 years compared
to the younger working population. The increased
life expectancies have, at least in part, been a result of
improvements in health care, and the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases and medical conditions that have
traditionally caused premature death.
Impact of lifestyle and medical advances on
causes of death
Medical advances have all but eradicated many of the traditional
causes of death from communicable diseases with a
consequent growth in morbidity resulting from lifestyle
choices and behaviors.
The issue with lifestyle‑related conditions is the behaviors
such as sedentary lifestyles and poor diets adopted early
in life have a major and cumulative effect in later life
resulting in diabetes and cardiovascular problems which
require often expensive interventions and high levels of
cost to public health services.
The role of digital technologies in medicine,
health, and well‑being
Digital technologies have undoubtedly had a major
impact on medicine both in diagnostics and treatment.
Modern digital scanning, artificial intelligence, big
data analytics, human‑computer interfaces, robotics,
and 3D visualization technologies have all helped to
not only increase our understanding of the physiology
of the human body and enabled early detection of
medical conditions but also they have contributed
to increasingly more targeted and personalized
interventions.
However, set against these positive benefits of digital
medicine and health technologies is the impact of
technologies which reduce the daily physical and cognitive
challenges that have throughout history constantly
exercised our bodies and minds and in the process, given
us the active lifestyles needed to maintain health and
well‑being...........

Digital Health Applications and Hospitals of the FutureDavid Wortley
The National Healthcare Expo 2019 Conference was held in late November in Milton Keynes. In my presentation in the eHealth Track (presentation and video links included in this article), I outlined 3 points to think about when looking at the future of Digital Technologies in Healthcare and Medicine.
The digital technologies which will have the biggest impact on global health will not have been designed by or for medical professionals
Consumer technologies, sometime referred to as “general” technologies are being applied across almost all sectors of business and society for purposes which were not originally envisaged or intended. The health sector is a good example in which all of the technologies shown below are now being applied for health and well-being :-
• Smartphones
• Fitness Trackers
• Whatsapp and WeChat
• Virtual Reality Headsets
• Panoramic Cameras
• Artificial Intelligence
• Sensors
With the possible exception of fitness trackers, none of these technologies were developed by or for medical professionals. There are some profound implications, not only for the future of healthcare but also for the roles and responsibilities of health professionals and citizens. The graph below shows how digital technologies for health are shifting from expensive, stand-alone, proprietary technologies to smart, connected, consumer technologies.

Gamification is NOT all about Badges, Points and Rewards
Gamification is gaining increasing amounts of attention and credibility as a concept that can be applied to achieve goals and objectives in many “non play/entertainment” sectors. Much of what is being offered as “Gamification Strategies” focuses on the use of badges, points and rewards, giving the impression that successful Gamification is about offering rewards, incentives and recognition. This document is intended to challenge that notion and to offer a more comprehensive understanding of how and why Gamification is so significant in today’s digital age.
Gamification has been described as the use of game mechanics in non-game contexts. This makes the assumption that there is some differentiation between games and other everyday activities. Whilst the above definition seems intuitively understandable because it somehow implies that games allow “risk-free, trial and error” development that is missing in work or other situations, I believe that every human activity should be viewed as a game if we are to develop the skills and understanding to apply Gamification strategies successfully.
The first point to make in the argument that games are an essential part of every human activity is that we frequently use the words “games” and “players” in “non-game” contexts. Examples include “BP is a major player in the oil industry” or “He/she is playing mind-games”. I have heard the expression “benign manipulation” used to describe gamification but the reality is that we all use gamification skills every day of our lives in order to have some control or influence over our lives.

Digital Behaviours and Preventative HealthcareDavid Wortley
This presentation was delivered at the Wearable Tech Show held at the Business Design Centre in Islington London. It looks at the opportunities and challenges presented by disruptive digital technologies being developed for the health sector. It concludes that digital technologies which support preventative healthcare and personal health management are vital for the sustainability of public health services which are globally threatened by lifestyle related conditions such as obesity, diabetes and dementia. It highlights the dangers of over-dependence on technologies such as artificial intelligence and an unreasonable expectation that technologies can absolve us the need to take personal responsibility for our own health management.

Transfer to immortality - A Sustainable Singularity Solution ?David Wortley
I delivered this presentation at the Sci-Fi 2018 conference organised by Eurosis and taken place at the Novotel in Bruges. It considers the potential reality of Singularity and the option of immortality through a human/machine blend. The presentation describes legislation to protect environmental resources in which humans have to be put to sleep on their 100th birthday in a scenario which combines transfer of all your human experiences, relationships, traits and knowledge into an avatar who is paired with the chosen "love of your life" by a mixture of AI, your emotions and a global audience who can share your life memories and feelings and vote for a person. It challenges by example to imagine what memories the audience would retrieve on their last day.

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.

Euracademy on Rural Development Invitation to the 12th summer academy
1. The Euracademy Association
invites you to take part in the
12th Summer Academy
on
“Culture and Landscape: contributions to sustainable rural development”
to be held in cooperation with Notranjski Ekološki Center, Cerknica, Slovenia
13th July – 21st July 2013, Loški potok, Slovenia
Cultural and heritage tourism plays an important role in the local economy of many of Europe’s rural areas
and is also developing new business and prompting economic development across the continent. The
creative sector can have a significant impact on the creation of new domestic products and revolutionise the
ways in which our cultural heritage can be developed and packaged by communities as tourism products
and services and for local consumption. Cultural heritage can also have an impact on local development by
reinforcing the identity of rural communities, strengthening the sense of place and enhancing social
cohesion.
Rural landscapes form an essential part of our heritage; they are significant witnesses to the past and
present interventions of humans on the natural environment, being a timeless archive where the ways
people have lived and organised themselves in certain places are depicted. The term “cultural landscapes”
has been defined by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee as “distinct geographical areas or properties”
that uniquely "..represent the combined work of nature and of man..”. The cultural landscape conveys many
different and complex meanings, values and aspirations, contributing to identity building, social relations and
communication of experience, thus becoming a part of the local culture. The principles of the European
Landscape Convention offer some valuable arguments for the preservation of the natural and cultural
properties of landscapes, and for stimulating the involvement of local communities in this task.
This summer academy aims to examine carefully the links between rural landscape, rural heritage and
culture, paying also special attention to the role of the creative industries in shaping such links and creating
added value for local communities. Developing the cultural and creative industries is not a panacea for all
rural problems but it has a number of positive attractions and it is one among many opportunities that rural
communities can consider to improve productivity and incomes. The summer academy will discuss and
debate how the heritage endowed in rural communities by their nature and culture can be exploited by the
creative industries for the benefit of rural development; and how communities can take advantage of new
developments in the creative and cultural sectors - which include very dynamic industries with new products
and services.
Components of this year’s theme will include the following:
1. The challenges that rural landscapes are facing in relation to their heritage and cultural makeup
2. The contribution of the European Landscape Convention in the preservation of the cultural elements of
landscapes and the mobilisation of local communities
3. The contribution of the creative industries in highlighting and valorising the links between culture,
landscapes and heritage
4. Learning and education in the creative, cultural and heritage sectors (including inter-generational
connections)
5. Creating new jobs (economic development) through the creative, cultural and heritage industries
6. Motivating local communities and the contribution of local culture and heritage to community
development including tools for motivating local participants, growing local ownership and taking on
responsibilities
7. Balancing the needs of development and protection of community local cultural heritage
The Target Group: managers and animators within the rural cultural and creative industries, rural tourism &
rural development, community developers, providers of rural cultural and creative sector products and
services, researchers, policy makers, local and regional authorities, LEADER and local action groups,
environmental and development NGOs, economic and development agencies, training providers.
The 12th Summer Academy welcomes participants from all over Europe, south, north, east and west, who
are working in the field of rural development. Professional people working in local or regional authorities,
development agencies, LEADER and other local action groups, NGOs or other local groups active in rural
development are welcome. The course is designed for 40 participants, who will be invited to share their
experiences, to acquire new knowledge and skills and to benefit from the wide networking opportunities
offered by Euracademy Association. Participants should have a reasonable command of English.
2. The Format: introduction, thematic study tours, lectures and discussion workshops
The 12th Summer Academy will take place in Loški potok, Slovenia; it will benefit from the experiences of 11
previous Summer Academies held in an equal number of different locations around Europe. Following the
arrival of participants on 13th July, an international dinner is held in the evening to warm up the group and
give opportunities for participants to meet and discuss in a relaxed environment. The first two days are
devoted to lectures and discussion workshops. The following two days will be spent on the Thematic Study
Tours. Each tour will focus on a village and its surroundings and will include practical examples on a specific
study theme. A Study Tour report will be prepared by participants, which will describe their experiences and
make proposals for implementing rural tourism activities and strategies in the area. These reports will be
presented and discussed in a plenary session on the day following the study tours. The final two days will be
devoted to panel discussions, debating and drawing conclusions, evaluating the Summer Academy and
networking. The departure days are 21st or 22nd July 2013.
The outstanding cultural landscape of Retje-Loški Potok
The landscape of Retje-Loški Potok is characterised by its recognisable spatial structure within a wide valley
lying on the high karstic plateau in southern Slovenia. The centrally positioned village of Retje in the valley
bottom dominates the landscape and although sometimes (especially following heavy precipitation) the
underground water table rises dangerously, it rarely reaches the houses, thanks to their wisely chosen
location on the highest points of the uneven valley bottom. The village is embedded in the traditional
agricultural field pattern of mainly rectangular plots dating back to the 1820’s and run from the bottom
upwards to the top of the forested slopes on the both sides of the connecting road. To highlight the
uniqueness, both sides of the longitudinal valley are distinguished by a church – on the one side the parish
church of Saint Lenard while on the other the chapel of Saint Florian.
Course support: Thematic Guide and Participants’ Handbook
Course materials will be provided before and during the Summer Academy in printed and electronic format.
This includes a course manual on the theme of the rural cultural and creative industries and a Participants’
handbook, which includes practical information and the methodology that will be used in the Summer
Academy, as well as tasks for participants to prepare before arriving to the Summer Academy. Administrative
and tutorial support will be offered by the host Institute and Euracademy Association. Lecturers and
facilitators are recruited among the host organisations and Euracademy Association members.
Participation Cost
The cost of attending the Summer Academy is kept to a minimum. There is no attendance fee, but a charge
to cover accommodation, course materials, full board and travel for the study tours. The cost is 450 Euro per
person and a small number of scholarships are also available covering part of the participation cost. The
charge includes also the subscription fee for one year’s Euracademy Association membership.
