Recently a new book was punished that is related to both goals of the CICERO project: Digital Competences & European Cultural Heritage. Editors of the book are Areti Galani, Rhiannon Mason &  Gabi Arrigoni

 

European Heritage, Dialogue and Digital Practices focuses on the intersection of heritage, dialogue and digital culture in the context of Europe. Responding to the increased emphasis on the potential for heritage and digital technologies to foster dialogue and engender communitarian identities in Europe, the book explores what kind of role digital tools, platforms and practices play in supporting and challenging dialogue about heritage in the region.

Drawing on fieldwork involving several European museums and heritage organisations, the chapters in this volume critically engage with the role of digital technology in heritage work and its association with ideas of democratisation, multivocality and possibilities for feedback and dialogic engagement in the emerging digital public sphere. The book also provides a framework for understanding dialogue in relation to other commonly used approaches in heritage institutions, such as participation, engagement and intercultural exchange. The authors map out the complex landscape of digitally mediated heritage practices in Europe, both official and unofficial, by capturing three distinct areas of practice: perceptions and applications of digitally mediated dialogues around heritage within European museums and cultural policy, facilitation of dialogue between European museums and communities through participatory design approaches and non-official mobilisation of heritage on social media.

European Heritage, Dialogue and Digital Practices will be of interest to both scholars and students in the fields of heritage and museum studies, digital heritage, media studies and communication, the digital humanities, sociology and memory studies. The book will also appeal to policy makers and professionals working in a variety of different fields.

I am sometimes asked why I am involved in a project that combines photography with digital skills. The answer is quite simple: Because these two areas are closely linked and have a common interface.

The following illustration shows the rough connection.

Digital photography is closely connected with creativity and the knowledge and experience of image composition – this will lead to appealing images.

Digital skills in general help citizens to survive in a digital-dominated world. Here you will use social networks as well as a computer for work ore a tablet with a lot of apps with a tablet.

The project aims

The CICERO Project aims to build a bridge: Combine in-depth knowledge of designing images, including the technical possibilities of digital cameras with the requirements of our digital age. That means creating and publishing content as well as using social networks or documenting events or cultural treasures (from the present and the past).

Further benefits and added value of the project

Here are some ideas how the results of this project can be used in other fields of education.

School education

The project’s results can be used especially in project work or group-based teaching. Here are some examples for assignments.

  • Initiate a project documenting local cultural architectural treasures
  • Preparing an event documentation – this should include both high-quality images and a sophisticated accompanying text.
  • Create an exhibition as a documentation of an event (for example school festival, class trip, excursion, field trip, or similar).
  • Creating a series of pictures showing the different states of mind/moods of a person

Vocational Education and Training

A special training using the project’s results can be used to

  • Create a series of high-quality images as a “making-of” documentation
  • Implement composing and designing rules to create images of higher quality of professional issues (for example in the real estate business, the documentation of completed orders, proposals for customers and a lot of more opportunities).
