As digitisation has become a major task for the cultural heritage sector, more and more cultural institutions are providing access to their digitised collections. But sharing is not only about creating online access, it is about sharing the authority to interpret the digitised assets and to create value by opening them up for reuse. How can opening up result in a mutual benefit for institutions as well as for their audiences and society? And what are the challenges on the way like copyright, institutional policies and not to forget the expectation of the users?
Douglas introduced Europeana to a workshop audience with a special focus on re-use of digital cultural heritage in educational contexts.

Abstract:
In September 2010, the City Council of Aarhus decided that Den Gamle By should take on the responsibilities of the local city museum. This museum has now been closed down, and the buildings are about to be sold. In the beginning Den Gamle By was skeptical of the idea, but now we envision new possibilities. In my presentation I will discuss the following questions: How to combine local and national history in one museum? How to rethink and incorporate city museum activities within the framework of an open air museum? How to use the city museum activities to strengthen the national museum presence in the local community? And how reach out to new and museum-estranged visitor groups?

Europeana constructed a Publishing Framework (video) together with its contributing cultural heritage institutions to be more explicit about the possible returns of opening up data and delivering better quality. This framework has been translated and implemented across Europe to help institutions understand the benefits of being able to open up their data. A couple of case studies from the museum, archive and library world will used to illustrate the results of adopting a more open approach, covering both the positive and the negative.
Program of the 3rd International Picasso CongressEmmanuel Guigon
To be held in Barcelona from April 27th to April 29th. Picasso and Identity will explore a wide range of possibilities, from the popular conceptions of the artist to his political identity, including a consideration of the cultural geography or the impact of gender and sexuality in his work.
Since a museum has developed from the institution which is dedicated to selection, preservation and presentation of objects to the one willing to communicate, educate and extend the audience, the museum tourism has become really important branch of cultural tourism. There are many theoretical perspectives of how to build the image of a museum, how to develop its audience nowadays and many mechanisms of museum management which show this theory functioning very well practically. Still, when it comes to the region of ex Yugoslav countries, there are many heritage spots which are floating in the limbo of shifted ideologies that once where spaces of the ruler’s representation and magnification and today are more or less successfully being converted into particular museums. Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, an institution still linked to Josip Broz Tito in public discourse due to its position and collection, is maybe the most illustrative example to research how, through complete image building, new mission and vision, new name, new interpretation of inherited collection and new setting development, one place of memory and political happenings is being converted to a contemporary museum. In this paper, all the challenges of the new museum audience and programs building will be followed on this quite unique example of the (re)construction of the Museum of Yugoslavia.

El Museu Picasso proposa un nou projecte educatiu basat en la importància d'observar i de dialogar enfront de l’obra. A partir de les apreciacions dels alumnes es porta a terme una anàlisi en profunditat de l’obra i es genera un diàleg compartit a través del qual es van desfilant els seus interessos. L'educador actua com a moderador d'aquest debat i proporciona als alumnes les claus per aprofundir en el seu propi coneixement, un coneixement molt més profund i durador, ja que respon a les inquietuds reals d'aprenentatge del grup, que compartint les seves opinions arriba a conclusions noves i enriquidores.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

23. The Picasso Museum’s purpose and civic responsibility Moving beyond the museum’s principle objectives, it cannot overlook its civic responsibility regarding the Ciutat Vella quarter as well as Barcelona as a whole as regards a cultural centre that can have a significant impact on its immediate environment (queues, transport, tourism and higher prices, etc.). Along similar lines, we have been working in collaboration with the district council and a number of associations and neighbourhood groups so that the museum provides a heritage space and potential instrument for use in various programmes: integrating newly arrived social groups, those at risk of being socially excluded, people with disabilities and the elderly, etc.
