6 September, 2018 By Editor

We are delighted to share with you this video of the 2018 AER Summer Academy produced by Maramures’ audiovisual services. This film definitely reflects what the programme has to offer to regions and participants: mutual learning, networking with experts and professionals, discovering the heritage treasures of the host region, empowering young people, gaining hands-on experience through study visits… and also having lots of fun and making friends from various regions in Europe!

All these components together result in a comprehensive experience full of beautiful memories that remain forever!

Join our Summer Academy Organising Committee !

The AER Summer Academy Organising Committee (SAOC) is looking for new regional partners willing to contribute to this great initiative and have the possibility to tap into the multiple benefits of hosting an AER Summer Academy.

Our next meeting will take place in Novi Sad (Vojvodina, SRB) on Thursday 27 September, within the AER Autumn Committee Plenaries. This will be a good opportunity for non-member regions of the Summer Academy to know more about this AER’s flagship programme and the very fresh proposal for the 2019 edition.

Discussing Cultural Heritage at the 2018 Summer Academy Plenary Sessions

6 September, 2018 By Editor

Over the course of five days regional politicians, officers and youth representatives from the AER member regions gathered together for the 2018 AER Summer Academy in Maramures (RO). The opening ceremony on the morning of 7 August was followed by the first of three plenary sessions spread over the week, in which experts and professionals working in this domain provided revealing insights into the question on what is at stake –from a regional perspective– for cultural heritage in Europe.

EU Cultural Policies and Funding Programs

The first session was on the topic of ‘EU cultural policies and funding programmes’ and how they serve in protecting and promoting cultural heritage. Virgil Ș. Nițulescu, from the Ministry of Culture and National Identity in Romania outlined the evolution of cultural policies at the national and EU levels. A point he stressed was that even before any steps were taken to establish cultural policies in legislation, countries in fact already had cultural policies even though they may not have been set down in writing. The principal entity advocating for cultural policy was the Council of Europe who, through the ‘European Cultural Convention’ of 1954, urges each contracting party to take appropriate measures with a view to developing a common cultural heritage in Europe. As a result, in 1985  its flagship programme ‘European Programme of National Cultural Policy reviews’ was launched to assess the state of the cultural policies of each member state. Finally, Mr. Nițulescu emphasised the significant role that creative industries play in the global economy, being amongst the fastest growing sectors in the world and generating considerable amount of revenues and jobs; especially among youth aged 15-29.

The second half of the session was conducted by Steliana Cojocariu from the Romanian Ministry of Tourism who explained her department’s involvement in the Council of Europe’s ‘Cultural Routes’; a programme which was initiated in 1987. To date, it has over 30 routes connecting different countries covering a range of different themes from architecture and religion to gastronomy as well as providing revealing figures on European music, literature and art. The Cultural Routes are an invitation to travel and discover the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Europe creating a network that brings people and places from different countries and cultures together.

The end of the session, reserved for questions from the audience, boosted some interesting discussions. For instance, the scope of cultural promotion was raised as a means of battling xenophobia and racism by promoting inclusiveness.

Relevance of Culture and Creativity for Youth

The second plenary session focused on the relevance of culture and creativity for youth, underscoring the role of youth in preserving Cultural Heritage. Ramona Culda –from the National Board of Employers and SMEs in Romania– presented ‘Creative START’, a 4-year project kicking off this year. Its aim is to actively support small and emerging businesses in the creative industries started by youth in the North West region of Romania. In total, 600 people from the region out of which 50% are women, will benefit from training courses focusing on the development of entrepreneurial competences. 75 of these will then receive a grant to start their own business as well as support for the first two years of implementation. The project can be very valuable to young people who are in the creative industries as they are instructed in creating and implementing a business plan.

Ion Georgescu, co-founder of the Comana Paper Mill Association (Moara de Hârtie, RO), explained how his association –dedicated to book-related crafts: handmade paper, letterpress printing and bookbinding– was established in 2011. In 2016, other traditional crafts were added through the Comana Crafts Village, a space designed to revive, preserve and transmit the Romanian crafts. Ion Georgescu described it as a “social economy initiative” – even though it is not formally classified as such– as the project has created jobs for people in the village who would have no other way of getting a formal job. Through crafts they have helped communities complement their income. Their work also targets the younger generation. 80% of what they do is about working with children by organising workshops for school groups. Despite crafts being part of the local cultural heritage, Ion raised concerns about the fact that if young people are not trained in this, crafts will eventually disappear. To Ion, crafts is very much about preserving identity.

Bert Ludwig, Director of European Heritage Volunteers, talked about cultural heritage through his professional experience running the European Heritage Volunteers projects. Created in Germany in 1992, they work mainly in rural areas with a hands-on approach. The idea is to get people directly involved in cultural heritage initiatives; to “infect people with the virus of heritage as it is through involvement that we build a connection and respect for culture”. In addition to this, volunteers can acquire skills and the know-how which is being transferred from the older generation, establishing an inter-generational dialogue.

Dora David, ESN (Erasmus Student Network) National Representative of Romania, and Diana Sabo, Vice-President of the Federation of Youth NGOs in Maramures, talked about the importance of cultural heritage both for individuals’ identity but also in terms of a “collective good”. Dora David explained that a significant part of what the ESN does is to get the students involved in local society. They do this by organising different activities which allow the students to discover the local culture as well as exchanging one another’s cultural knowledge. For Diana Sabo, “what connects us as a community is our cultural heritage which includes the values we obtain from education”. In her view, “learning about cultural heritage improves our understanding of the context we grew up in: it is our past, present and future. And it is by respecting our own heritage that we can also value others’ “.

Cultural Heritage enhancing Regional Attractiveness

The last plenary session, which took place on Friday 10 August, looked at cultural heritage as a tool for increasing regional attractiveness while also discussing the need for its sustainable use. Culture heritage holds a well-known economic potential, for instance, in the tourism sector but it is also an agent in the transmission of expertise, skills and knowledge between generations. The EU envisages it as a fragile wealth that needs to be preserved and passed on to future generations. And although cultural heritage can include intangible elements, it is important in giving value and a sense of identity to a region, helping to build its future. The challenge becomes for regions to find their own identity and cultural heritage and valorise it.

In this regard, Anamaria Diaconu, National Institute for Cultural Research and Training, presented some facts and figures from a mapping on cultural consumption in various regions at the national level. This has enabled an evaluation of the cultural situation at the national and regional levels allowing for a comparison between areas and raising issues for improvement. What the statistics evidenced was the low levels of participation in cultural heritage sites, including low perceptions of the benefits that cultural heritage can bring in terms of tourism development, economic benefits and other spillover effects.

Peter Hurley, founder of Intercultural Traditions Association (Maramures, RO), focused on the need of valorising and preserving cultural heritage in the Romanian context. Originally from Ireland, he moved to Romania almost a quarter of a century ago after being captivated by the richness of the country’s culture. He describes as a European challenge what he considers “the sinking of the last Romanian cultural heritage we have”. According to Peter, the cultural heritage in Romania is something still “alive”, as traditional forms of cultural expressions prevail over the passing of time whereas in other countries cultural heritage belongs to the past. Peter Hurley concluded that we all have a duty to preserve cultural heritage by convincing people that it is something worth saving.

An unforgettable Summer Academy in Maramures

13 August, 2018 By Editor

The 2018 AER Summer Academy held in Maramures, Romania brought together over 100 participants from various regions across Europe to discuss and learn about the many benefits that heritage and culture can bring to a region. Through a series of plenaries, workshops and study visits, the delegates had the chance to find out about how cultural heritage contributes to the vitality of their region while also discovering the beauty of Maramures’ heritage sites and traditions.

Knowledge-sharing and study visits

Many relevant insights came out of the plenary sessions and workshops where the participants held debates on wide-ranging topics, such as the multiple positive effects of cultural heritage on regions’ prosperity; the role of youth in preserving the future of heritage sites; the growing importance of creative and traditional industries in the field of culture; and many others.

The Norwegian Youth Festivals of Art (UKM) from Østfold County Council (NO) provided the Summer Academy, in-between meetings, with a magnificent ‘soundtrack’ (to the delight of the participants!) through live performances of their young talented singers and musicians.

Last but not least, the Summer Academy delegates also had the opportunity to discover, through study visits and practical workshops, the local traditions and heritage treasures of Maramures – the UNESCO wooden churches, the restored monuments of the city of Baia Mare and the traditional local crafts and potteries.

The closing ceremony of the Summer Academy was later followed by the inauguration of the urban art work on the Youth House wall in Baia Mare carried out by Strokar artists.

Acknowledgements

AER would like first to thank Maramures County Council (RO) and its great team of devoted professionals for ensuring a success implementation of the programme. We also want to thank the locals for their warm hospitality.

A big thank you also to the Summer Academy Organising Committee (SAOC) members –  Brussels Capital Region (BE), Province of Flevoland (NL), Østfold County Council (NO), Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (SRB), Jönköping County Council (S), Canton of Zürich (CH) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (IT), because without their valuable contribution, the Summer Academy would not have been possible one more year.

And finally, you! The participants, who every year bring to the Summer Academy lots of enthusiasm, success stories and good practices that inspire our day-to-day work.

All the presentations, pictures and videos of the 2018 AER Summer Academy will be public very soon at the AER event page.

YRN’s perspective on Cultural Heritage: preserving the old while facing the new

26 June, 2018 By Editor

As every year, the AER Youth Regional Network will actively participate in the AER Summer Academy in Maramures by organising a workshop that will focus on cultural heritage under the title “Preserving the old while facing the new”. The workshop aims to raise awareness of finding ways to preserve the unique traditions and cultural elements intrinsic to each region. The main focus of the workshop will be on how regions can enhance their traditions in a globalised world.

YRN’s approach to Cultural Heritage

The Youth Regional Network is a forum that brings together young people from diverse regions and gives them a collective voice on the European stage, and at the same time, introduces a European dimension to youth policy in those regions. YRN’s objectives include networking, influencing policy by involving young people in decision-making processes at regional and European level, exchanging best practice and experience by working together on European projects, and applying the principle of subsidiarity.

This past spring the YRN made concrete political decisions regarding cultural heritage at the YRN Plenary and General Assembly meetings in Nordland (Norway) and, therefore, this workshop will also be an occasion to get involved in their work and be an active part of their strategy to enhance youth participation at different levels.

Click below to look at YRN Political Statement on Cultural Heritage!

Take-away

This interactive workshop will be divided into the following agenda items:

  • General introduction about YRN and the workshop methodology;
  • YRN’s vision on key policy affairs;
  • Knowledge exchange and discussion with all the participants;
  • Wrap-up of the discussions.

The participants will get more acquainted with the YRN’s political vision and will have the opportunity to share good practices.

New cultural heritage through the Norwegian Youth Festivals of Art (UKM)

19 June, 2018 By Editor

The Norwegian Youth Festivals of Art (UKM) will participate at 2018 Summer Academy in Maramures  with a workshop that aims to stimulate young people’s creativity and make their cultural activity visible. 

UKM is a cultural initiative and involves young people between the age of 13 and 20. The first festival took place in 1985 and within a few years almost all the regions had joined in in the activities, becoming an active part of the event. For more than 30 years Norwegian municipalities and regions have worked together to give young people the opportunity to express themselves through art, music, media and film. There has been tremendous growth in the participation and, in 2018, more than 22.000 young people took part. Young people are increasingly active in the planning and decision-making process in UKM. This may go somewhat towards explaining the vast interest for Norwegian artists in participating. 

Not just a festival…

The Norwegian Youth Festivals of Art (UKM) has allowed many young people make their starts in the creative industry: Cashmere Cat, Margareth Berger, Astrid S, Jaga Jazzist, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal and Karpe Diem, amongst others. Listen here to the fantastic voice of Ronja Keyvan, who participated in the Norske Talenter (famous Norwegian talent show) after being in UKM, or Mirre, a young artist that opened a youtube channel to share his rapping skills.

Some of these young talented artists will perform live duirng the Summer Academy in Maramures.

Check below the trailer about UKM festival that summarise young participants’ enthusiasm and organisers’ dedication:

Take-away

The aim of the workshop is to understand how important it is to organise cultural events  in regions. This workshop fits in nicely with the European Year of Cultural Heritage and has been designed to give a voice to young artists.

The workshop is interactive, with artists sharing their own experiences. The Summer Academy will also be an opportunity to meet with the Østfold County Council, which aims to develop an international network of partners for youth creativity and art mobility projects.

Registrations open!

Cultural heritage for jobs: incredible stories at AER Summer Academy

31 May, 2018 By Editor

On the occasion of the 2018 Summer Academy in Maramures, which will be about cultural heritage for regional attractiveness, Flevoland (NL) will facilitate a  workshop on “Turning cultural heritage into jobs”. The workshop will revolve around the idea that stakeholder engagement is key to strengthening a region’s outreach.

Storytelling to empower stakeholders

The workshop will show how to use the potential of cultural heritage in a region to create initiatives and jobs. Storytelling in this respect is a powerful tool for stakeholder empowerment. The workshop will detail the storytelling techniques that have allowed the region of Flevoland (NL) to brand its region and incentivise new activities, initiatives and jobs on its territory.

The Story of Flevoland

Using storytelling makes it possible to present the unique selling points of a region. The Flevoland-based Windesheim Business School, the Flevoland Department of Economics and the Flevoland Touristic Board will guide the AER Summer Academy participants through the different steps of Flevoland’s unique experience and share how they are using storytelling and stakeholder empowerment to make it possible for cultural heritage to truly boost regional attractiveness. The digitalisation of cultural heritage and the increase in online opportunities, including touristic attractions such as the tulips, or the UNESCO World Heritage former island of Schokland makes it for instance possible to reach a worldwide audience. Plus, interactive online activities allow for the development of new economic initiatives in the region.

Dream, Decide, Do

The workshop will feature an interactive session (in groups of 4-6 persons) where all will deal with the following question: How could you turn cultural heritage into jobs using online strategy?
The session is divided in 3 stages:

  • The DREAM stage encourages participants to figure out which are the possibilities for developing the job creation and which ideas do they have and want to share;
  • during the DECIDE stage, participants will decide which are the 3 best ideas, motivate the decision and find a way how to support job creation;
  • finally, the last stage is DO: participants are asked to describe how the ideas could be realised, which is the role of regional government and how to involve other stakeholders.

At the end the experts will present the results and a conclusion.

The experts

The workshop is led by different experts among which there are 3 representatives of the Council of Flevoland (NL): Mr. Eduard Plate (expert on regional and city economics); Ms. Margriet Papma (expert on communication); Theo Vulink (expert on agricultural innovation).

Registrations open!

Celebrating the Heritage of Astrid Lindgren

10 April, 2018 By Editor

At AER’s 2018 Summer Academy in Maramures, Ms. Anna Mellergård from Jönköping County will conduct a seminar on the heritage of Astrid Lindgren, the renowned author of children’s book series featuring beloved characters such as Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, and the six Bullerby children. Originally proposed at AER’s 2018 Spring Plenaries in Arad, Ms. Mellergård will give a presentation on Mariannelund’s Astrid Lindgren Filmbyn (Film Village) and its place in the cultural heritage of the town.

What is Filmbyn?

Filmbyn is an interactive film centre where visitors can experience scenes from classic children’s movies like Emil in Lönneberga, the Bullerby children, and Pippi Longstocking, all based on Lindgren’s novels. Fully immersing visitors in the world’s created by Lindgren, the centre contains famous film clips, original props, and exhibitions where people can singalong with movie music.

Lindgren and Mariannelund

For Mariannelund the life and work of Astrid Lindgren occupies an important chapter in the town’s cultural history reflected today in its film centre. Lindgren’s childhood home is located just 20 kilometres from Mariannelund and her father’s a mere 10. Movies about characters such as Emil i Lönneberga and Baren I Bullerby were filmed in Mariannelund with the local population playing a key role in its production. Even today the fact that these celebrated films were shot in their hometown is a source of pride for the local population.

Despite holding such deep connections to Lindgren and her work, until recently Mariannelund residents have not known how to explore this rich cultural history. Perhaps frightened away by newspaper articles about protracted legal battles over the online rights to Lindgren’s content or the close proximity of Vimmerby who has created an entire Astrid Lindgren world, for many years Mariannelund did not express Lindgren’s importance to their cultural history in public space. However, according to Ms. Mellergård regardless over who officially owns the rights to Lindgren’s works, it is the locals own the rights to their town’s history.  Thus, the impetus for the creation of Filmby was the Mariannelund locals’ reclamation of their own cultural heritage.

During her presentation, Ms. Mellergård will also describe the challenges Mariannelund has faced since deciding to create the centre, along with the satisfaction its progression has brought to those involved. She will also explain how the centre’s leadership created a budget for the project, worked with the region and municipality to give the project direction, and involved locals in the documentation of their own heritage.

Take-Away

All towns, villages, and cities in Europe have their own unique cultural heritage. Each locality’s heritage contributes to the vitality of their region and creates a shared sense of belonging. Throughout the European Year of Cultural Heritage, these histories will be explored through events and seminars like Jönköping’s presentation at AER’s Summer Academy, connecting the past and the present. Moreover, with Ms. Mellergård’s presentation participants can expect to come to understand the importance of local citizens actively engaging in the promotion and celebration of their cultural heritage to ensure its continuity. This presentation will hopefully inspire delegates to take initiative and start similar projects in their own regions. Attendees can also expect to learn about how to interest other citizens in getting involved with these projects and how Mariannelund worked in concert with regional  and local authorities throughout the creation of Filmby.

Street Art Will Take Centre Stage at AER’s Summer Academy

10 April, 2018 By Editor

At AER’s 2018 Summer Academy in Maramures, attendees will partake in a series of exciting, cutting-edge workshops planned by Brussels International. In the first workshop focused on graffiti, delegates will investigate ‘how regions can develop city-marketing tools through street art’. During a related workshop, participants will be able to observe and explore a wall painting created by a collaboration between Belgian and Romanian artists on a representative building wall in Baia Mare to commemorate the Summer Academy. Both workshops will be run by artists from Strokar, a Brussels based interdisciplinary creation label dedicated to street art.

The Evolution of Street Art

Originally popularised in the 1970s as forms of advocacy and protest, street art was long tainted by its reputation for defacing public and private spaces. However, over the years as street artists continued to expand into public space graffiti gradually gained acceptance as a form of art that often highlights social and political issues. Today the work of muralists and graffiti writers is an inseparable part of the cultural identity of many cities, with artists using brick walls as their canvases. In recent years due to the rise of social media, street art has begun to move beyond the confines of alleyways and can be seen populating the fronts of stores and bars. With members of Millennials and Gen Z hunting for hip ‘Instagramable’ shots, cities and businesses have looked to leverage street art as a draw for these demographics. An early pioneer in Europe in turning street art into a public attraction was Berlin whose East Side Gallery –the largest open air gallery of murals in the world– is visited by thousands of tourists every year. BPRS’ workshops on street art will give delegates the chance to learn how cities are continuing to utilise modern art forms to increase regional attractiveness.

Events Planned By Brussels International

The upcoming events on urban art are the last in a series of interactive workshops planned by Brussels International. On 7th August, delegates will see first hand a refurbished building of cultural heritage in Baia Mare where Brussels International will conduct a theory based seminar on urban art. Seeing this restored building will enable youth to reflect on the importance of preserving historical sites for future generations, so that they too can celebrate their region’s cultural heritage. Additionally, on 7th August, Brussels International will organise a practical seminar on urban art developed in cooperation with Romanian Artists. This seminar will take place over two days, concluding on 9th August with with a unique inauguration ceremony incorporating activities planned with ”Baia Mare cultural capital of Romania”.

Take-Away

The events planned by Brussels International coincide with the European Year of Cultural Heritage and have been designed to reflect its aims. As a forum for intercultural exchange, the workshops will allow citizens to explore Europe’s cultural diversity and the role of cultural heritage in promoting the European identity. Moreover, the events will encourage youth to remain open minded towards other cultures while emphasising the importance of culture as vehicle for the promotion of social inclusion and quality. Participants can also expect to learn about how street art can be used as a tool to increase regional attractiveness and facilitate regional development.
