This document provides information about a research development workshop on connected communities, cultures, health and well-being. It discusses the goals of understanding changing community cultures and connectivity, and exploring how cultural and creative activities can promote health and well-being. The workshop aims to stimulate innovative, cross-disciplinary research ideas and new partnerships to address challenges in these areas. Funding opportunities are available for developing project ideas and follow-up activities.
The document discusses asset-based community development (ABCD), which focuses on identifying and mobilizing community assets rather than deficiencies. It emphasizes that communities possess untapped skills, knowledge, associations, and other resources. ABCD aims to stimulate community-driven development by strengthening local agency and catalyzing change from within. The document contrasts this approach with traditional needs-based frameworks that emphasize problems and promote dependency on external aid.
The team brainstormed ideas around addressing excessive growth and resource utilization. They conceptualized a carpooling service that would control and balance resource use by reducing traffic, pollution and overconsumption. The final concept was a platform for people to connect and share rides to common destinations, saving on energy, money, and creating social connections while helping the environment through less fuel use and traffic. The service would introduce through trusted social networks and involve registration fees and standardized fares paid via smart card.
This document provides an overview of community building efforts in Arizona from 2005 to 2008. It discusses three central threads of work: 1) financial support for specific community projects, 2) convening communities of practice to share information, and 3) providing technical assistance. The document reflects on lessons learned about building healthy, resilient communities and shares emerging insights from partners. The goal is to inform other community organizations in their efforts to address health issues and foster public good.

Amateur arts have wider social and economic impacts beyond just being a fun hobby. Direct involvement in amateur arts can improve both physical and mental health as well as build social connections. Audiences also benefit from exposure to amateur arts through increased happiness and a strengthened community identity. The presence of amateur arts in a community can economically benefit the area by attracting more residents and tourists while also reducing crime and declining neighborhoods. However, more empirical research is still needed to fully understand the pathways and accumulation of these individual and community level impacts from amateur arts involvement.
This document defines sustainable communities and identifies their key components. It begins by stating that sustainable communities meet existing and future residents' needs while promoting environmental protection, social inclusion, and economic prosperity.
It then discusses the definition of sustainable communities that was developed, which includes 7 key components: social/cultural, governance, environmental, housing/built environment, transport/connectivity, economy, and services. Each component is then described in more detail.
The document also discusses measuring progress toward sustainable communities through a set of performance indicators representing the 7 components. It states that these indicators can help set targets and track progress over time toward creating more sustainable places to live.
This document discusses asset-based community development (ABCD), an approach that focuses on identifying and mobilizing community assets rather than focusing solely on needs and deficiencies. ABCD works from the principle that every individual and community has capacities, abilities, and gifts, and aims to inspire positive change from within communities by recognizing these assets. The document outlines the key tenants of ABCD and provides examples of how identifying and organizing local skills, talents, and resources has empowered communities to enact sustainable change from within. It also discusses the role of local groups, organizations, and enabling policy environments in supporting ABCD.
The document compares the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) My Way program in Western Australia to principles of community development. NDIS My Way aims to give people with disabilities more choice, control and involvement in their communities. It takes a person-centered approach, viewing individuals as experts in determining their own goals. NDIS My Way also emphasizes empowerment, self-determination, diversity and inclusion of people with disabilities in community life. However, the long-term sustainability of NDIS My Way depends on continued government support of related services like housing, transport and education.

Croatia 4 - “Culture Driven Innovation: Intangible Cultural Heritage as a Key...UNESCO Venice Office
This document discusses using intangible cultural heritage (ICH) to drive social innovation. It proposes an open innovation model for cultural institutions that focuses on participation, knowledge sharing, and using new technologies like social media and virtual experiences. Examples are given of how museums can integrate ICH into exhibitions and programs to attract new audiences and encourage active learning. The document advocates connecting people to real cultural experiences through activities like parks, picnics, and cultural landscapes. It also stresses the need for solutions that involve stakeholders and communities in a balanced way, and that demonstrate clear benefits and value to gain support. Threats like different mentalities, lack of funding, and bureaucracy are also addressed.
Social sustainability is overlooked in mainstream sustainability debates. What does it take to create new communities that work socially, as well as economically and environmentally?

This document discusses the development and evolution of social networks over time. It analyzes a case study of a network established to support new entrepreneurs. Data was collected through interviews, surveys, and participant observation over several years to map the network's structure and examine how relationships and dynamics changed. Findings showed the network's structure shifted from transactional to more personal ties and demonstrated the importance of social connections for network operations and how patterns of interaction changed. It concluded qualitative, longitudinal research is needed to better understand network transformation processes.
Designing resilient creative communities through biomimetic service designRSD7 Symposium
This document discusses how adopting biomimetic tools in service design can increase the resilience of creative communities. It explores using nature as a model to design resilient social systems and organizations. Specifically, it examines how mapping connections between diverse interest groups within a social enterprise, like the Apano Meria organization, can create redundancy and thus more resilience, similar to ecosystems. The document concludes that a biomimetic, permaculture-inspired approach focusing on diffuse design capacity and cooperation between groups can help transition communities towards more sustainable models.

This document discusses a project examining the role and purpose of academic books in serving scholarship and learning. The project has two phases: the first involves literature reviews and evidence gathering to understand issues, and the second establishes a community coalition to conduct focused mini-projects. The goal is to investigate opportunities and challenges of technological developments while extensively consulting the academic, publishing, and library communities. The project aims to sustain and enhance the impact of arts and humanities research by navigating breadth and depth of impact from all perspectives.
The HEFCE Monographs & Open Access Project was set up to identify and clarify issues around making monographs openly accessible online, taking a long-term perspective beyond REF 2020. The project examines the culture of monographs in the humanities and social sciences, whether there is a crisis for the monograph form, and how publishing innovations and access models may impact monographs. The project has convened an expert group, conducted research including focus groups, and will report findings to HEFCE in late 2014. Key issues being considered include the role and definition of the monograph, peer review and quality standards, licensing models, and ensuring a balance of private and public benefits from any new models.
The document summarizes a report on challenges for early career researchers (ECRs) pursuing academic careers in the arts and humanities. It finds that 92% of ECRs on fixed-term contracts expressed career concerns, compared to 60% on permanent contracts. ECRs felt short-term posts hindered skills development and publishing. While universities said they supported ECRs, ECR perceptions did not match this. The discussion focused on how subject associations and AHRC could help address issues like mentoring and networking to share experiences. Some initiatives provided resources for unemployed PhDs or supported early career historians.
The AHRC launched a major new funding initiative in modern languages: the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) on12th May 2014 in London.

The call’s aim is to explore the future of the academic book in the context of open access publishing and the digital revolution. A single consortium will be funded through this scheme, with total project costs up to a value of £450k FEC, with AHRC providing 80% of the costs, and lasting up to 24 months from October 2014.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Maja Maricevic on the academic book of the future project. The project will explore the future of academic publishing, including monographs and edited collections, considering changing technologies and open access. It will address implications for book production, research and publishing processes, libraries, and readers. The British Library is committed to collecting and providing access to scholarly content, including digital formats, and their role in the project includes advising, collaborating, and sharing expertise.

3. Connected Communities Programme:
Connecting Research for Flourishing Communities
Evolving Programme Vision
To mobilise the potential for
increasingly inter-connected,
culturally diverse, communities
to enhance participation,
prosperity, sustainability,
health & well-being by better
connecting research,
stakeholders and communities.
4. What do we mean by Community?
Evolving approach but see communities as:
“dynamic processes through which groups come together, through
choice or necessity, to share some common bonds or values or to co-
operate and interact over a sustained period of time in pursuit of a
collective need or interest in particular issues or outcomes.
Communities may be real or imagined, may share a virtual or
physical environment and/or may share aspects of identity (such as
location, race, ethnicity, age, history, practice), culture, belief or
other common bonds, connections or interests but may also
transform over time, be culturally diverse and involve significant
dissent and conflict”.
5. What do we mean by Community?
• Importance of temporal as well as spatial dimensions
• Recognise that there are many forms of community
e.g. ascribed, elective, imagined, transient, etc
• Consider both the positive and negative aspects
• Interested both in the relationships within
communities and the interactions between
communities (past and present) and their outcomes
for broader society and economy.
• Applicants expected to explain the ways in which
they are using the term community and thinking
about issues of connectedness and to justify why this
is appropriate for their proposed research
6. Why Connected? – Research Issues
Currently, in terms of the research:
• Improve understanding of both the changing connections between
individuals & groups within communities & the connections between
different communities and their implications for future society.
• Examine the connections between communities and their broader
cultures, histories, beliefs and environments (including spaces, places
and institutions) and how this can help inform future community-
based approaches.
• Explore connections between research issues often considered in
isolation to deliver more integrated understanding of the roles of, and
impacts on, communities.
7. A Connected Approach
• Connect UK and international
research.
• Connect researchers, organisations
and communities in the co-
production of knowledge and
knowledge exchange.
• Connect research funders to enhance
co-ordination and alignment of
activities and promote partnerships
and collaboration to maximise added
value from the currently highly
fragmented research field and
address strategic gaps
8. A Connected Approach
Currently, in terms of how the
programme will add value:
• Connect previous research (synthesis,
review, etc)
• Connect researchers, knowledge,
approaches and data from across
disciplines to deliver more integrated
understanding and promote cross-
disciplinary research
• Connect to RCUK Programmes (e.g.
Digital Economy, Lifelong Health &
Well-being, LWEC, Global
Uncertainties, Energy)
10. Addressing Cross-Cutting Themes: Understanding
Changing Connectivity & Communities
Some fundamental cross-cutting questions & issues:
• What are communities for in modern societies? How
have community values & identities changed over
time? How do they contribute to quality of life?
What do flourishing communities look like? What
can we learn from history & different cultures?
• Changing connections within and between
communities. Inter-relationships, identities, rituals,
narratives and networks. Ties to traditions,
institutions & places. Trans-national communities.
• Understanding communities as dynamic & complex
cultural systems
• Factors shaping changing communities – interfaces
between technological, environmental, social,
cultural & economic factors

13. Key Features of Connected Communities
Projects
Some ideas from the Summit in June 2010
High quality research as a given, but also:
• Sustainable engagement with real communities from the outset
to beyond project life; communities involved in identifying
challenges and possible solutions; partnership working; innovative
approaches to co-production.
• Ideas of connectedness and disconnectedness, fluidity of complex
relationships between individuals, within communities and
between communities; both positive and negative dimensions of
‘connectedness’.
• Prepared to consider complex underlying issues and questions
such as ethics, power, rights, equity, nature of benefits and
burdens, sustainability, well-being.
14. Key Features of Connected Communities
Projects
Some ideas from the Summit in June 2010
• Grounded in deep understanding of communities as diverse &
complex cultural phenomena but seeking to draw wider
transferable or generalisable insights.
• Draws together insights from different research approaches
/different disciplines/ different research & policy domains.
• Crucial role of comparative and historical dimensions.
• Develops novel approaches to long-standing challenges or
understanding new cultural phenomena.
• Focus on communities (variably defined) as the prime unit of
analysis but not forgetting the ‘bigger picture’.
15. Key Features of Connected Communities
Projects
Some ideas from the Summit in June 2010
• Relevant to strengthening well-being in communities and to
policy & practice.
• Builds on past research, understanding and current evidence
base, ‘not reinventing the wheel’ but developing
transformative approaches.
• Focus on change and processes of change; forward looking
but informed by the past.
• Explores creative approaches – looking at ‘what could be’ as
well as ‘what is’.
16. Key Features of Programme Projects
Some further ideas from the 2011 Summit
• Exploits the benefits of inter-disciplinary research but not
interdisciplinary for interdisciplinary’s sake
• Innovative / something not done before / not boring! / some element
of ‘edge’
• Not constrained to produce predictable outcomes / allows for higher
risk research which may not produce the ‘expected’ results
• Ideas driven
• Sets new agenda
• Transparent methodologies
• Has relevance beyond the specific case studies
• Builds upon existing knowledge.
• Engages with stakeholders alive and dead
• Should have pathways to potential impact embedded within the project
• Methods to assess the impacts upon communities built into the design
• Benefits from insights from the arts and humanities
17. Aims and Focus for this Workshop
We hope the workshop will stimulate the
development of innovative ideas for transformative,
cross-disciplinary, community-engaged research
consortia, combining arts and humanities expertise
with other research disciplines and community, policy
and practice partners, to pursue the challenges and
opportunities of supporting enhanced health and
well-being in community contexts.
20. Examples of Possible Challenges
• What role does participation in community-based cultural and creative
activities and ‘cultural connectivity’ play in promoting purpose & meaning
in life and in enhancing mental health & well-being?
• How can an understanding of community histories, cultures and values
inform more targeted and better designed community-based initiatives and
services that meet the health and caring needs of specific local or cultural
communities (e.g. youth, ageing, disability, ethnic, faith, diasporic
communities)?
• How can cultural and creative activities help to engage communities with
the challenges of promoting healthier behaviours and lifestyles (e.g. mental
or physical exercise, better diets etc), in the co-design, co-production and
co-delivery of services and in tackling addictive behaviours (e.g. drug and
alcohol mis-use)?
• How might it be possible to enhance the role that creative and cultural
institutions, community organisations and/or cultural heritage play in
supporting the health and well-being of communities and to better
understand any associated value and benefits for communities?
21. Examples of Possible Challenges
• Engaging with diverse cultural communities
in all stages of the research to develop
flourishing communities which support
enhanced health and well-being
• Innovative methods and approaches to
capturing and assessing in a more holistic
way the value and benefits (and any dis-
benefits) of interventions and community-
based cultural initiatives
22. The Challenges
• These are just examples. Aims of the workshop
are to identify challenges and develop creative
approaches to addressing them
• We do not have a pre-determined idea of the
types of projects or approaches, topics etc that
should emerge, but we do have an idea of the
types of things we are looking for in follow-up
proposals...
23. An Opportunity
To “do something different to make a difference”
An opportunity for:
• Creativity, innovation, imagination – projects should look
different from previous research (but build on current
knowledge & understanding)
• Novel cross-disciplinary / Cross-Research Council
collaborations including arts & humanities perspectives
• Exploring new partnerships with policy / practice /
business / voluntary sector & communities
• Putting communities at the heart of the research
• Co-design & co-production of research
• Projects with the potential to move beyond single case
studies to make a significant difference to research
landscape, policy, practice and communities
24. A Unique Funding Opportunity
• Longer and larger research projects (up to 5
years, £1.5m FEC) (plus co-funding opportunities)
• Development funding up to £15k to support
development of promising ideas for large
projects
• Follow-up funding up to £40k for other
development activities (scoping, piloting,
reviewing, networking, engaging, etc activities)
• Unconstrained by Research Council boundaries
but with Arts and Humanities research
perspectives playing a central role.
25. Follow-Up Funding
• We want to capture ideas and energy from the workshop
and exploit opportunities for collaboration & adding value
to our current portfolio
• Activities could include:
- networking events (e.g. seminars, workshops, on-line fora);
- knowledge exchange and dissemination activities (e.g.
conferences, joint publications, policy briefings);
- people exchanges / secondments;
- joint scoping studies / pilot projects (e.g. to test
exploratory research methods / approaches);
- joint reviews / syntheses of research;
- community engagement activities;
- collaborative training activities
26. Follow-Up Funding
• Funding up to £40,000 available to summit participants, to
start February 2012 and run for up to a year
• Should be cross-disciplinary, including a significant arts and
humanities contribution, but can cross the remits of Councils
• Stakeholder & community engagement activities expected
• Must involve at least two workshop participants & two
institutions but can involve any number of other
collaborators (academic/ non-academic, international etc...)
• Applications through Jes, closing date 23rd November 2011,
outcomes January 2012.
• Light touch peer review
