Young people today are living in an increasingly individualized and globalized world with new technologies and forms of communication. Social structures have less influence while chosen lifestyles and global youth cultures have more influence. New technologies allow young people to access information, communicate, and participate in cultural and political activities to draw attention to issues.
Digital storytelling involves creating short, personal multimedia stories told from the heart about life stories or historical reflections. It allows people to share information, values, and attitudes about history, culture, and heritage through stories communicated via various media. Studying stories in social studies provides opportunities for students to understand the dynamics of peoples, cultures, places, issues, and events integral to Alberta's history and contemporary society. It also reflects multiple perspectives and fosters building an inclusive, pluralistic society.
The document discusses cultural awareness, cultural heritage, and cultural heritage education. It addresses aims to promote cultural awareness through developing abilities like observing and participating in other cultures. It notes the need to avoid an ethnocentric perspective and instead immerse participants in other cultures. Regarding cultural heritage, it finds an overrepresentation of certain periods, elites, religions, and regions in the European cultural heritage list. It questions whose heritage is represented and which groups may be forgotten. It raises how teachers can incorporate cultural heritage education and empower diversity through their teaching materials and curriculum.
Recalibrating relationships: bringing cultural heritage and people together i...RCAHMW
This short presentation is concerned with some of the important changes that impact upon cultural heritage in the contemporary world, and is based on the work being undertaken by RICHES – Renewal, Innovation, and Change: Heritage and European Society – a research project funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme. The project’s main objective is to reduce the distance between people and culture, recalibrating the relationship between heritage professionals and heritage users in order to maximise cultural creativity and ensure that all of Europe can benefit from the social and economic potential of cultural heritage.
Cultural Heritage is made, held, collected, curated, exhibited, or simply exists in many arenas. In this context, it is possible to speak of the ‘decentring’ of culture and cultural heritage away from institutional structures towards the individual. Undeniably, the nature of the change brought about by the pace and scope of developments in digital technology is unprecedented. With the advent of digitisation and the migration from the analogue to the digital, what demands have arisen in relation to how we understand, collect and make available Europe’s cultural heritage? In what ways is the individual forcing a rethinking of the institution and how can the latter renew and remake themselves? What hierarchies of knowledge, expertise and authority in cultural heritage are being disrupted, transformed or undermined by the digital? Beyond this, the talk will consider how citizens can play a co-creative role in cultural heritage, the significance of identity and ‘belonging’, and the importance of cultural heritage as a force in economic development. Researchers as well as policy makers, funding bodies and managers of cultural heritage institutions and sector professionals are all challenged by these questions as they engage with the transmission and exploitation of cultural heritage. The talk will present evidence and recommendations emerging from the research undertaken and is located within the broad context of debates and discussion about the value, preservation, promotion and future of Europe’s cultural heritage.

Naming and Claiming: Indigenous Language In Digital RepatriationMuseWeb Foundation
By India Young, Princeton University Art Museum, USA
Digital Repatriation is an emerging effort from museums to conceptually return belongings, largely removed during colonial nation-building programs. It utilizes the tools of technology to make visible the deepest recesses of museum collections. The Princeton University Art Museum has begun one such undertaking to make a collection of Northwest Coast Indigenous belongings publicly available.
To center digital repatriation, in what could otherwise be a cataloging project, Princeton is working to create meaningful engagement with Northwest Coast communities so that communities themselves determine how their belongings are represented within physical and digital spaces. This talk focuses on the relationship between naming and claiming. Princeton’s online resource will name Indigenous belongings in their own language.
To determine names, Princeton is creating a forum for Indigenous speakers and learners to collaborate and decide how objects should be titled. Naming is at the heart of concepts of truth, sovereignty, and belonging. Princeton’s Indigenous naming project will conceptually return belongings, and also make visible the colonial implications that tie removals of belongings to histories of language loss and language revitalization.
The document discusses the nature and sources of social history. It states that social history emerged in the 19th century to study ordinary people's lives rather than elites. Social historians use sources like government records, interviews, artifacts and more to understand people's experiences. Social history intersects with fields like sociology and anthropology. It examines categories like family, gender, labor and more. The relationship between history and social history is that history studies major events while social history places them in a social context.
This document provides an overview of the AHRC Care for the Future theme. It discusses how the theme will explore relationships between past, present and future through concepts like memory, legacy, and progress. It identifies 5 sub-themes that will be examined, including questions of temporality and history, inter-generational issues, trauma and conflict, cultural notions of future, and environmental change. It outlines collaborations with other initiatives and future events like workshops and a major 2015 conference. Large grants of up to £2 million will fund ambitious, transdisciplinary projects building research capabilities.

The document discusses the importance of museums in preserving culture and history for future generations in India's diverse society. It argues that museums play a dual role of guarding against misconceptions of history while furthering inquiry and knowledge. However, museums are often seen negatively as places for unwanted objects. The document calls for museums to overhaul how they function to be more accessible, educational, community-oriented, and children-friendly in order to remain relevant and spread their message.
This document outlines a research project examining the historical evolution of cultural intermediation. It discusses looking at periods of economic expansion and uncertainty to understand how cultural intermediation has developed and the interests it has served. The project will involve case studies and interviews in Birmingham and Manchester focusing on community organizations, performance groups, and alternative arts organizations from 1955-2005. Outputs will include data sets, papers, and a potential mobile/web application. It raises questions about comparing Birmingham and Manchester and whether a local community historian served as a cultural intermediary.
From cultural awareness to cultural heritageAna Monteiro
The document discusses building a framework for teaching materials on cultural awareness and cultural heritage. It argues that curricula should prepare students to respect cultural differences and appreciate diverse cultures. Teachers should develop self-awareness of their own culture first before teaching about others. When selecting cultural heritage sites to represent in teaching, it is important to consider which periods, groups and minorities are represented or omitted to avoid an imbalanced emphasis on majority cultures.
This document discusses using virtual worlds for teacher professional development and student social studies learning. It outlines what makes quality professional development, including practical and relevant applications. It also discusses what makes quality social studies learning, such as being meaningful, integrative, and active. The document then provides examples of how virtual worlds have been used for teacher professional development through historical role plays, presentations on various cultures, and tours of historical buildings and areas.
This document summarizes Graham Furniss' presentation on cultural translation and debate. The presentation discussed how values and their interpretations are constantly debated through encoding in evaluative processes. It noted that debate and contestation equally surround issues like polio vaccination and women's education in northern Nigeria. The presentation also explored how motivations, hopes and fears are always contested and changing within and between groups in society, and how they take on different implications as they move from personal narratives to various media forms. It briefly discussed how Boko Haram represented an extreme end of ongoing debates about what is permitted or forbidden in Islam and Hausa culture. It also summarized the rise of popular Hausa fiction since 1987 which has been the subject of widespread public debates about
An analysis of the values, impact and benefits of digitisation for building n...Simon Tanner
Paper given at 2nd International Conference of African Digital Libraries and Archives - ICADLA2
Culture is the wealth of nations:
- Culture is essential to develop information into personalised knowledge
- Culture is an essential underpinning for national identity
- Memory institutions are essential actors in national cultural identity and digitisation is re-emphasising this role
- Cultural values are an important element in economic advancement
This document discusses cultural practice and conceptualizations of culture. It defines cultural practice as aesthetic forms created to provide pleasure, such as novels, art, and music. It describes conceptual containers as viewing culture as an abstract tool for elevating society, containing the greatest knowledge, creativity, and thought. The document also notes that in this view, culture becomes associated with a nation or state and is a source of identity.
This document discusses a project held at the Beverly site of Heartland Alliance called the Beverly Olympics. The Olympics consisted of five sections - Art, Speech, Sports, Entertainment, and Geography - and was designed to allow participants to express themselves creatively and build rapport. It provided an enjoyable outlet and encouraged self-worth, teamwork, and a sense of community for unaccompanied minors who are often detained for months at the site. The goal of the project was to respect participants' cultural backgrounds and differences through activities that empowered them.
This document provides an overview of the Cultural Intermediation Project, which aims to enhance cultural intermediation between communities and the creative economy. It involves case studies in Birmingham and Manchester to examine how cultural intermediaries connect deprived communities to cultural activities. The project consists of work packages on valuation/mapping, history, governance, communities and interventions. It also involves community pilots, evaluations, and workshops to understand cultural values and design interventions. The goal is to produce publications, papers and presentations to disseminate the findings.
This document discusses embedding values in the curriculum through transforming teaching methodology using engaged cultural learning. It proposes connecting India's rich material culture to the school curriculum by having students engage with cultural sites and artifacts through critical thinking tasks and questions. This allows students to develop constructive values like being questioning, open-minded, self-reflective, empathetic, and collaborative by gaining a deeper understanding of cultural practices and beliefs over time and place. Rather than a transmission model of moral education, this experiential model fosters an awareness of societal and economic influences on values and a dynamic view of values able to assimilate diverse perspectives.
This document provides an overview of the strategic themes of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). It outlines five main themes: Science in Culture, Digital Transformations, Care for the Future, Translating Cultures, and Connected Communities. For each theme, it briefly describes the focus and some example sub-themes. It also discusses how the themes were developed through consultation and how the AHRC is supporting related activities like workshops, partnerships, and funding calls.
The Big House Closing the Gap: Dreams and Dissonant Discourses Janice K. Jones
Keynote presentation: 2015 International Conference on Deep Languages Education Policy and Practices - Stimulating Languages and Learning - global perspectives and community engagement
Jones abawi sheffield 2015 conference resisting the standardJanice K. Jones
Using digitized representations and spoken word performance, Queensland arts and literacies educators Janice Jones and Lindy Abawi present with Augmented Reality Partners from Whaddup Indigenous Youth Group the stages of an arts and multi-literacies project from inception to public display. The partners, young women of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background, prepare to exhibit their art works in the regional art gallery, using Augmented Reality overlays of story, rap, and dance. This paper as performance uses a verbatim theatre approach, interweaving the young women’s digital stories of self-and community actualization with the voices of two arts facilitators and their sponsoring institution. By critically re-presenting the entanglement of values and expectations of the university as ‘The Big House’ with those of the arts practitioners and the community, the authors as performers unravel the complexities of language as an instrument of neo-colonialism, and articulate some of the ethical and cultural challenges for non-Indigenous facilitators engaging with Indigenous peoples.
Paul Long: Culturing communities? Understanding intermediation and localityPhil Jones
This document discusses a research project exploring how cultural intermediation connects communities to the creative economy. The project aims to understand how intermediation engages hard-to-reach communities and how to measure the value of these activities. Key research questions examine how formal cultural intermediation has involved different communities and facilitated their connection to the creative economy. The investigations will take empirical perspectives from within communities in Balsall Heath and Ordsall to understand the dynamic sites of cultural policy implementation and cultural production.
The document discusses opportunities for knowledge exchange between universities and communities in the areas of arts and humanities. It provides four case studies as examples: 1) Edinburgh Napier University provided expertise to help deliver traditional Scottish music lessons online. 2) Orkney College developed a heritage DVD for ferry passengers. 3) Inverness College helped a social enterprise create a "Nessie" soap mold. 4) Lews Castle College partnered with a community group to explore tourism opportunities in remote areas. The case studies showcase how universities can collaborate with outside partners to support economic and community development through arts and humanities research.
This document summarizes Dr. Abby Day's work as an AHRC Public Sector Placement Fellow with the British Council exploring how belief is translated across cultures. It discusses her belief framework developed through research, work applying this framework to understand transitions in Arab countries after the Arab Spring through ethnographic research and workshops in Egypt and the UK, and potential impacts on networks, academia, and the British Council's practices.
Activities around digging have again become very popular recently, including in the attention they have received from cultural institutions. Many cultural institutions have in recent years recreated wartime (allotment) gardens to highlight a range of different issues and values. Such exhibitions and events, organized during a time of renewed austerity measures, increased concerns around food and the environment, draw obvious parallels to the contemporary moment, offering possibilities to rethink our own values. This panel brings together exciting new research that focuses on this renewed interest in growing your own food.
The first half of the panel highlights work from the recently completed ‘Everyday Growing Cultures’ project, which focused on the potentially transformative value of connecting two currently disparate communities: allotments growers and the open data community. Based on comparative research in Manchester and Sheffield, it explores potential effects of digital engagement and open data for allotment holders to build stronger, more active communities, benefit local economies and improve environmental sustainability and food security. The second half of the panel seeks to understand the different ways in which issues around digging have reemerged in recent years, to understand these by looking at how they have been expressed and mobilized by different people and actors. This can be expressed as actual digging linked to food production, symbolic digging as performance, digging up local histories, or as new forms of gift-giving.

Sustainable Development Goals and Values for MuseumErfgoed 2.0
How museums can engage their audiences and work together with them on Sustainable Development Goals, based on their core Values and storytelling, by using the GIVE-model
The document discusses a project called Uts'am Witness that involved cross-cultural collaboration between the Squamish First Nation, environmentalists, artists, and the public community. Over 10,000 individuals participated in weekend camping trips on Squamish traditional territory, centered around a Squamish ceremony called Uts'am. After 10 years, the contested forest territory was leased back to the Squamish Nation for 250-500 years. The project advocated for Squamish stewardship of the land and preservation of old growth forest through cultural exchange and arts, rather than violence or conflict.
The document discusses the importance of museums in preserving culture and history for future generations in India's diverse society. It argues that museums play a dual role of guarding against misconceptions of history while furthering inquiry and knowledge.

Decolonising Design in indigenous artisans and designers’ collaborative proje...Diana Albarran Gonzalez
This document discusses decolonizing design processes in collaborative projects between indigenous artisans and designers. It provides background on development policies and debates around preserving indigenous identity versus innovation. The researcher aims to compare projects in New Zealand and Mexico to determine if specific co-design methods can be considered decolonized in order to improve livelihoods and benefit indigenous communities. Key questions focus on what characterizes decolonized design, how indigenous knowledge is incorporated, appropriate co-design methods, and the role of designer heritage. The methodology will use participatory action research and case studies informed by decolonizing principles.
Paul Long Royal Geographical Society 2014 presentationPhil Jones
Whose Culture, Whose Creative City. A paper given by Paul Long of the AHRC-funded Cultural Intermediation project at the Royal Geographical Society annual conference in August 2014.
This document discusses the impact of creativity and innovation on education. It begins by defining key terms like creativity and innovation, noting their ambiguous definitions. It then outlines the characteristics associated with creativity today, like problem-solving and lateral thinking. The document discusses how contemporary education focuses on developing each child's strengths and talents. It argues that fostering creativity requires loosening rigid education systems. Several positive examples of integrating creativity and arts into education are provided. Research evidence demonstrates how cultural education improves skills and motivation. The document concludes by recommending leadership, new teaching methods, and international cooperation to make creativity a core part of education.
