The Unleashed Vocational School. Best Practice In The Context Of Education Po...UWirth
This presentation deals with the so-called "unleashed university", a well-known but also controversial concept in higher education in Germany. It is controversial because as some critics are concerned that academic freedom could be sacrificed at the cost of business considerations and economic rationality. The author will present the main points of this concept. Of course, one can argue that a vocational school is just a school (working in the secondary sector) and not an university (which is located in the academic landscape, the so-called tertiary sector). However, the author is convinced that, if one does unleash a vocational school, it ca n surpass itself. The author will break down the concept of "unleashed university" into an "unleashed vocational school". It is clearly more than just a metaphor. He will show that an unleashed vocational school can, much like an university, be scientific and distinguished, competitive and profitable, international and open-minded about new media. However, and in contrast to an university (and this is the big discrepancy), a vocational school virtually does not have to be autonomous or a stand-alone entity; it merely requires a worldwide network of strong partners to have success. Apt partners can be found in a professional organisation, selected stakeholders in institutions and business, alumni, media etc.). Furthermore, a vocational school has to be customer-oriented - but who are its customers anyway? And what is the added value to customers? Using the example of the Euro-Schulen Trier, a small and straightforward vocational school in the South West of Germany where Health Informa tion Managers are trained since 2000, the author will outline what measures were taken in the past to cultivate a competitive profile and why they had to be taken. He will deal with the role of communication and marketing. In addition, which future measures to be taken to make the institution sustainable whilst also making graduates employable will be treated. This is not less than a paradigm shift, associated with both the challenges of education policy and the demographic shift in Germany.

So that the past has a future - the German Foundation for Monument Protection...heritageorganisations.eu
Within just a few years the German Foundation for Monument Protection has grown into the largest private historical-preservation initiative in Germany. The German Foundation for Monument Protection has thus set itself two goals: to preserve endangered cultural monuments and promote all aspects of monument protection. We hope to animate as many citizens as possible to become involved in this task. Since its foundation in 1985 the German Foundation for Monument Protection has helped to preserve over 3,000 monuments nationwide, investing 390 million Euros.
Contributions have been raised from more than 180,000 private sponsors and companies, fine allocations and proceeds from the GlücksSpirale lottery. Our patron is the Federal President, Horst Köhler.The Foundation becomes active where state funds are either not available or are proving insufficient. In times when public budgets continue to shrink, this goal is more than ever a challenge for all. The Foundation’s funds benefit an array of historical monuments: burgher houses, village, town and cloister churches, industrial monuments, palaces, castles and manor houses, parks, town walls and archaeological excavations.
To encourage young people to become more involved with our cultural heritage is of particular concern to the Foundation. In 2002 for example we initiated the schools project “denkmal aktiv * Kulturerbe macht Schule” (Cultural Heritage in Young Hands). Over a thousand pupils belong to the nationwide network. During the school year they work on and study cultural monuments on site, taking part in restoring and documenting the monument, and so getting to know monument protection first hand. The “Jugendbauhütte” projects (Youth Masonry Guilds) running in nine towns are also proving to be a successful model. Over the course of a year of voluntary civic service young adults gain insight into old
crafts and historical buildings. Practical activities introduce the participants to the basic know-how and skill demanded by protecting historical monuments and offers a platform for their future vocational
orientation.
Another aspect of our mission is of no less importance: to raise public awareness for monument protection and the tasks this entails. In this vein the Foundation coordinates the nationwide European Heritage Day, held annually in September. This contribution to the European Heritage Days has meanwhile advanced to one the largest cultural events in Germany, highlighting 7,000 monument sites open to the public and attracting over four million.

New Service Development Proposal for Athens Archeological MuseumSpyros Langkos
This study concentrates on presenting the development of an idea for a new service for the National Archeological Museum of Athens. The main focus here, is to state how this new proposed service is consistent with the museum brand and in what way it will add value to the customers.
Museum history:
AMA is the first national archaeological museum in Greece and was established by prime minister of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias in Aigina in 1829. Subsequently the archaeological collection was relocated to a number of exhibition places until 1858, when an international architectural competition was announced for the location and the architectural design of the new museum.
The current location was proposed and the construction of the museum's building began in 1866 and was completed in 1889 using funds from the Greek Government, the Greek Archaeological Society and the society of Mycenae. Major benefactors were Eleni Tositsa who donated the land for the building of the museum, and Demetrios and Nikolaos Vernardakis from Saint Petersburg who donated a large amount for the completion of the museum.
The National Archaeological Museum houses some of the most important artifacts from a variety of archaeological locations around Greece from prehistory to late antiquity. It is considered one of the great museums in the world and contains the richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide. It is situated in the Exarcheia area in central Athens between Epirus Street, Bouboulinas Street and Tositsas Street while its entrance is on the Patission Street adjacent to the historical building of the Athens Polytechnic university (AMA website,2012).
In recent years museums have changed from being predominantly custodial institutions to becoming increasingly focused on audience attraction. New emphasis is placed on museum-audience interactions. This change in the purpose and priorities of museums has impacted upon the nature of museum service context and delivery of service products (A.Gilmore, 2002).
This report aims towards the development of a new service offering for the Athens Archeological Museum. Our proposal, is to facilitate innovation and embrace the ongoing trend which is on the rise, to update museums technological standards by introducing services concerning web interconnectivity and interaction of the museum
with it’s visitors.
Traditionally, the prime function of the museum has been to gather, preserve and stuy objects. Our plan is to maintain a data-collection focus.Today’s museum role has been upgrated. They are not only the gatekeepers of heritage and tradition, but have transformed to an active community enforcer. Therefore, in this digital era strengthening museums through information and data-sharing they will be better able to meet both demanding bottomlines of sustainability (financial solvency and mission execution).

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

1. Reframing the definition of
museums
German Museums Association
Annual meeting 9 May, 2017
Kimmo Levä
Secretary General
Finnish Museums Association
2. First ICOM museum
definition 1946
A museum includes all
collections open to the
public, of artistic,
technical, scientific,
historical or
archaeological material,
including zoos and
botanical gardens, but
excluding libraries,
except in so far as they
maintain permanent
exhibition rooms.
4. A museum as ICOM defines
it now
A museum is a non-profit,
permanent institution in
the service of society and its
development, open to the
public, which acquires,
conserves, researches,
communicates and exhibits
the tangible and intangible
heritage of humanity and its
environment for the
purposes of education,
study and enjoyment.
5. Museums are non-profit
institutions that…
• are responsible for tangible
and intangible natural and
cultural heritage.
• have the duty to acquire,
preserve and promote their
collections as a contribution to
safeguarding the natural,
cultural and scientific heritage.
• have particular
responsibilities to all for the
care, accessibility and
interpretation of primary
evidence collected and held in
their collections.
• have an important duty to
develop their educational role
and attract wider audiences
from the community, locality,
or group they serve.
15. Finland
New curriculum for
primary schools in
2016 states that
learning is moving
more and more out
of the classroom ...
and into museums,
for example.
17. OECD
The Impact of
Culture on Tourism
(2009) examines
the growing
relationship
between tourism
and culture, and
the way in which
they have together
become major
drivers of
destination
attractiveness and
competitiveness.
18. USA
Visitors to historical
sites and cultural
attractions, including
museums, stay 53%
longer and spend 36%
more money than
other kinds of tourists.
23. Museums have
moved from the
cultural silo to
other silos in the
social, education
and business
sectors
Cultural policy: preserve, research
and present cultural heritage
Social policy: “Museums change
lives”, refugee crisis, activate the
marginalized and the elderly
Business policy: creative economy,
tourism industry
Educational policy: lifelong learning,
museum as a learning environment
Museums
tasks
26. Almost a quarter
(24%) of museums
in the UK
experienced a
decrease in public
funding in
2015-16.
Funding cuts are
having serious
consequences for
the museum
sector. At least
64 museums
have closed
across the UK
since 2010.
The latest news from
England
27. How have we come to this?
1) We have
forgotten that
these new
tasks come
at a price.
2) We have followed
our current museum
definition:
A non-profit
permanent
insitution that has
duties and
responsibilities.
28. How have we come to this?
3) But we haven’t
asked:
To whom are museums
responsible?
For whom do museums
have duties?
How is it possible for
non-profit museums to
take on permanent
responsibilities?
29. The museum sector
needs to realize that:
We are in business
We are in different
business sectors,
not only cultural
but also social,
economic and
educational.
What should we do?
30. We need to change our
museum mindset –
and create a new museum
definition
31. Step 1 for a new
definition
A museum is not a
room or building, is not
an exhibition, is not a
collection and is not
an institution – it is a
Service
32. Step 2 for a new definition
Services are for customers and
we have customers in different
business sectors: cultural, social,
economic and educational
Our key customers
(the ones who pay) are ...
representatives of the state,
cities or municipalities
foundations and other institutions whose
mission is to finance museums
individuals and companies who are willing to
pay
33. Step 3 for a new definition
A customer pays
for products and
services
• Preserving-property services
• Content services
• Teaching and consultancy
• Social services
• Marketing and communication
services
• Retail/speciality shops
• Tourist services
34. Step 4 for a new definition
We are museum
professionals in business.
Professionals
do nothing for free.
35. New definition of a museum
“A museum is a service
organisation that helps its
customers to fulfil their
needs and responsibilities in
preserving, studying,
teaching, and exhibiting
heritage and culture, as well
as generating economic
social wealth.”
