The HeritUS Project, co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union, was developed as part of the Heritage Management program at Palazzo Spinelli in Florence, Italy.

The students, working on the theme of accessibility to museums and heritage sites as part of the course, were guided by the professors to develop the concept for the project and then researched funding opportunities for implementation, which came in the form of the Cooperation Projects call under the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. The partnership arose from an existing network of organisations involved in heritage development, of which Palazzo Spinelli was a founding partner (the first European Network of Heritage Fairs). The partners, along with Palazzo Spinelli (Florence, Italy), were the Consejeria de Cultura y Turismo de la Junta de Catilla y Leon (Valladolid, Spain), Spira (VN Baronia, Portugal), and Messezentrum Salzburg (Salzburg, Austria).
The main objective of the project was to create a multi-lingual interactive platform for sensory and cognitive accessibility to museums and heritage sites, capable of becoming a living tool for both heritage operators and the public in order to share information and learning experiences. Alongside, the project aimed to implement a series of outreach events in the four partner countries  to showcase activities in the sector, creating a further opportunity for knowledge sharing and growth.
The project was based on a series of complementary activities staring with context research and analysis with the target groups of sensory accessibility (hearing sight, autism spectrum) and cognitive accessibility for disengaged young people (age 15-24). As a result, partners organised outreach events in each target group with stakeholders (seminars, workshops, conferences), then created and peer-reviewed a web platform for knowledge sharing and audience development for the target sectors.
The result of the project is an interactive platform for cultural access regarding sensory and cognitive good practices at museums and heritage sites in the four partner countries of Italy, Spain, Portugal and Austria. Registered users can download and study existing good practices and use the platform as a knowledge sharing forum. Heritage operators and the target audiences benefit from a single European site dedicated to collecting and disseminating good access practices.

Finanziamento

NE©XT Accelerator is an interdisciplinary project focused on emerging designers, visual and performing artists, dancers, photographers, digital artists and filmmakers.

The main aim of the project is to offer new opportunities to the new generation of artists, enabling them to make a living from creative works. The project offers them not only the opportunity to produce and present their works to a larger and international audience, but also to grow professionally with a more entrepreneurial, innovative and transnational approach.

The proposed project demonstrates a very good match and relevance to the Cooperation Programme. The applicant has indicated that the project meets five priorities and objectives. The described project demonstrates meeting all of them to a very good extent.

The project promotes the circulation of artistic works, providing emerging artists with skills, and competences that contribute to strengthening the cultural and creative sectors. It fosters the mobility of artists and their works through the three festival editions and the foreseen ten innovative entrepreneurship residencies.

Through the “ Incubator Work Programme”, the project wants to analyze and resume the current Art Incubator practices in Europe, mapping them and finding the best results to test new business models during the connected training programme.

The use of new digital technologies represents a recurring theme in all the activities of the project, from the art production to the incubator work programme, showing a real cutting edge approach to the art field in all its aspects (productions, networking, business). The project will contribute to the digitalization of arts in Europe and the partners plan to deliver different digital outputs to wide European audiences such as video games, interactive media, film and performance media.

The proposed project demonstrates a clear focus on audience development. All the described activities are intended to provide cultural players (young artists, art educators, art producers, curators) with skills and competences and to enable them to collaborate internationally. The NEU/NOW Live Festival will select artistic graduate work that includes specific audience(s) in the works and/or approaches audiences in new ways, through digital technologies, or makes otherwise new connections with

audiences. Audience development is part of the training programme, and results in the training format ‘New Ways of looking at Creativity and Audiences’. The project intends to investigate the distinction between artists and audiences, trying gradually to integrate audience in the artistic works. This development will be explored, analysed and discussed during a seminar -‘Making a Living from the Arts’.

Re-Spect

Periodo

Programma

Lifelong Learning - Leonardo da Vinci Partnership

Finanziamento

36.000 euro

Re-spect is about the re-thinking of the figure, role and therefore training of the conservator in the XXI century. Despite the eventual focus of their training, the convergence of many different competences (ranging from scientific to technological and artistic) into one single professional profile represents an opportunity for future answers that our world, if not just its cultural heritage, is demanding more and more.

Re-spect is about the fostering of a culture of care. A common attitude towards both the arts and the environment; to embrace the worlds of conservation & restoration into one common vision, one similar approach, providing an opportunity to express the outcomes of interventions, which are different in scale and specific technologies, with common words. So that re-touching lacunas of a worn out painting would be the same as re-planting the shores of a damaged estuary; both re-cover the readability and the authenticity of a phenomenon, whether it is artistic or natural.

Re-spect is also about the fostering of a better understanding of the social, cultural and economic benefits of conservative interventions; what had also been referred to as “re-economy”. That is to say to provide decision makers, politicians and designers as well as professionals with tools and methods to better understand and interpret such positive C&R results and incorporate them into local economies.

TimeCase. Memory in Action is a European project financed by the Lifelong Learning Programme. The network of organisations, groups and individuals involved in TimeCase were interested in participatory arts and 20th century memory practices. The first stage of the project concentrated on collecting exemplary case studies of participatory practices and showcased the studies on the TimeCase website. The second stage of the project identified the best practices in the case studies and created a toolkit to help organisations that work with memory to reflect on their own participatory practices, to investigate and to explore ways in which they could begin to re-imagine our recent history. TimeCase offered experts from organisations working with cultural memory effective practice examples, knowledge and tools to enhance their participatory practices.

The craftsmen are considered as the weakest ring of the manpower of restoration sector because of their low education level. Besides the current training systems of European countries couldn't respond the needs of sector and craftsmen.

These two unavoidable elements forced the partnership to create a project to help to the target group to improve their current knowledge and to increase their employability or/and employment conditions. The RESELTAM II project was created on base of the RESELTAM I project's aims and results.

The RESELTAM I was a LdV Multilateral Development of Innovation project which was co-funded by EU and produced an e-Learning tool which provides possibilities to the craftsmen to take an education about specific subjects without facing with the logistic, educational, cultural, economic problems. The multilingual e-Learning tool is based on visual and textual elements and its practical side is needed to be improved. The RESELTAM II gave an opportunity to improve this side of the eLearning.
