Não perca a próxima discussão da EPALE sobre criatividade e cultura para a coesão social
![TreeImage.](/themes/custom/epale/assets/images/placeholder_72x72_user_1.webp)
Na quarta-feira, dia 7 de dezembro, das 10h00 às 16h00 CET (das 9h00 às 15h00 Hora de Portugal Continental), a EPALE irá acolher uma discussão online sobre criatividade e cultura para a coesão social.
A discussão escrita será precedida por uma transmissão ao vivo (das 10h00 às 10h40 CET – das 9h00 às 9h40 Hora de Portugal Continental) com Rasha Shaaban (Gothenburg National Museums of World Culture), Helen O'Donoghue (Irish Museum of Modern Art) e Niels Righolt (Danish Centre for Arts & Interculture), que irão partilhar as suas perspetivas, experiências e recomendações.
A transmissão ao vivo será seguida de uma discussão, moderada por escrito, com os contributos dos membros da nossa comunidade EPALE.
A arte e a cultura podem ser importantes impulsionadores e facilitadores da coesão social, incentivando o diálogo entre culturas e apoiando a capacitação individual e a consciência democrática dos alunos adultos.
Durante esta discussão online, tentaremos imaginar, em conjunto, um futuro onde as artes e a cultura desempenhem um papel fundamental na resolução dos desafios globais (como as alterações climáticas, a desigualdade de género e a corrupção), revelando as muitas interligações entre a educação, a criatividade e a cultura, com a abordagem das seguintes questões:
- No momento em que os nossos valores democráticos se encontram ameaçados, como podem as práticas culturais promover a inclusão e a compreensão intercultural, bem como aproximar os membros da nossa família europeia?
- Qual é o papel das práticas e das instituições culturais na promoção da participação cívica e democrática?
- Qual é o papel dos espaços culturais multidisciplinares no reimaginar de novas formas de educar e de aprender?
- Como podemos efetivamente moldar sociedades inclusivas e centradas no ser humano através da aprendizagem ao longo da vida?

Comentário
Art for everyone
Good morning,
The experiences and projects of museums and libraries that try to involve people in situations of social exclusion are in fact fundamental, because, in my opinion, culture and art do not always have these purposes. It is not often (at least in Portugal) that we have theater plays or cultural exhibitions in cultural centers that are conceived with the purpose of serving everyone. Most are even designed in a way that seems to exclude precisely those who lack a higher level of education. The messages they convey or include are so elaborate that I doubt those with less education will understand them. It should also be noted that this type of art is usually expensive and for that reason it is not accessible to the most vulnerable.
On the other hand, I would like to highlight here the work done by a Portuguese artist – Bordalo II – who uses pieces of garbage to create art on the walls of buildings (generally he recreates animal figures). In this case, art is very obvious, it reaches everyone, it is visible to anyone passing by on the streets. His art demonstrates that we all produce waste and that it can be reused.
You can see his works of art here, through the streets of Lisbon:

Dear Dora
I have had the experience of working on two EU partner projects with Portuguese museums and have developed a strong professional relationship with Clara Camacho who is the Senior Officer at the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage. I would recommend that you contact her as she will know about developments there.
Thank you for your reply. I…
Thank you for your reply. I hoje we can have more projects linking art and social cohesion. We really need it!
Izaicinoši, bet mūsdienīgi!
Caur kultūru ir vieglāk uzrunāt sabiedrību, jo tā ir salīdzinoši neitrāla nozare, kura ļauj cilvēkam gan izpausties radoši, gan bagātināties un atpūsties vidē, kas ir atvērta dažādām pieredzēm. Svarīgi atrast vienojošo saikni starp dažādām paaudzēm un etniskajām grupām. Tas parasti vienkāršāk ir caur vienojošo tradīciju izpausmēm, kas visiem ir salīdzinoši kopīgas un ļauj piedzīvot prieku- piemēram svētki, ēdieni, dabas un kultūras pieminekļi. Visefektīvākā mācīšanās ir caur personīgo piedzīvojumu un līdzdalību. Jo cilvēki ir atvērti pozitīvām emocijām un aktivitātēm, kas ļauj baudīt citādo neuzliekot pienākumus vai patīkami izved no ierastās komforta zonas. Caur pilsoniskām aktivitātēm mēs iepazīstam citādo un svešais tiek padarīts pieņemamāks, ja to iepazīst un spēj salāgot ar savu pieredzi un zināšanām. Liela nozīme ir starpkultūru projektiem un aktivitātēm, kas kopienā rada vienotas darbība izvirzīto mērķu sasniegšanai. Un ja šajā saskarē rodas pieredzes pārklāšanās ar citu kopienu, kurai ir līdzigi mērķi, rodas pozitīva mijiedarbība un paplašinās gan kultūras telpa, gan zināšanas. Jāatīsta mijiedarbīga mācīšanās starp paaudzēm un kultūrām,ko vislabāk sekmē kopienu NVO sektors un valstisko organizāciju pozitīva izpratne un līdzdalības atbalsts šī sektora atktivitātēm gan finasiālā, gan atbalsta veicinošā veidā ar telpām, projektu rakstīšanas atbalstu un pieaugušo tālāk izglītības centru darbības nodrošināšanu.
New ways of looking at things
Culture and arts are the most important ways that meaning is made and taken on. In the digital world, we live in now, arts can offer new ways of looking at things beyond specific solutions. Through the variety of intellectual and emotional experiences they offer, arts can teach people about complexity while also adding to the positive experience of being different. In this way, arts are an important way to deal with the cultural, social, economic, and religious tensions that exist inside and outside of Europe.
a project to look at
dear Liga
I agree wholeheartedly with you and have had this experience many times - the current EU project that my museum-the Irish Museum of Modern Art is involved with is one such example- please see the links here-
