Description
WP3’s main objective is to examine how performing arts education creates spaces for the promotion of cultural literacy that enhances social inclusion, and to analyse related drivers and constraints through:
- exploring conversations on how performing arts education creates spaces and facilitates practices for cultural literacy that enhance social inclusion;
- conducting ethnographic fieldwork;
- analysing how cultural and arts educational initiatives can connect, facilitate and dialogue with disadvantaged and minority groups;
- analysing how cultural and educational initiatives and institutions might become more diverse and inclusive via cultural literacy.
WP3 will provide insights to WP4 concerning drivers and barriers for performing arts educational practices. Fieldwork in WP3 will also collect data on collective competences that will be used in WP5 to construct the collective competences portfolio. Activities to connect local teams will be established through community dialogues.
A digital platform (provided by WP6) will provide space for conversations at local and transnational level, in an ongoing loop of critical feedback.
Additionally, we will discuss and develop results (texts, videos, podcasts, digital storytelling) with Critical Clusters and participants, and developing theory in dialogues. This includes identifying drivers, constraints, and problematic aspects from the fieldwork.
We will compare the cases and create dialogue with participants across local/regional teams through digital meetings and a final workshop.
Who
The lead partners for Work Package 3 are UCol (University of Cologne) and NORD (Nord University). Participating partners include JYU (University of Jyväskylä), Mak (University of Makerere), UoA (Auckland University), PZero (PuntoZero), KULT (Kulturanova), Ulun (The Leuphana University Lüneburg), UHil (University of Hildesheim) and UNIVR (University of Verona).
The Work Package is divided into two ‘clusters’. The Nordic cluster consists of Annika Mylläri, Camila Caldeira Langfeldt, Camilla Kvaal, Kristie Lee Mortimer and Runa Hestad Jenssen. While the ‘continental cluster’ consists of Ronja Kampschulte, Christian Rolle and Eckehard Pistrick. The leaders of the tasks that concern the implementation of the digital playground are led by the University of Luneburg, specifically Michael Ahlers and Anita Jori.
We also have a critical cluster with colleagues Sylvia Antonia Nannyonga-Tamusuza and Mabingo Alfdaniels Mabingo from the University of Makerere, and Sarah Foster-Sproull and Ralph Buck from the University of Auckland. Our critical cluster colleagues are created to support the ethnographic case studies, and challenge Eurocentricity and offer alternative perspectives.
