Europeana Network Association AGM 2017

Draft agenda

Sessions not to be missed:

• Cast your opinion about important network matters: Members Council elections, Joint Europeana Aspiration and Network Association Approach
• Learn about the Impact Framework and Playbook - and pitch a project!
• Get involved with the #AllezCulture campaign in support of the European Year of Cultural Heritage
• Attend the European Cultural Forum on December 7

We have now closed our call for projects who would like to pitch during our AGM! We received 25 project proposals, from which we could only select 10. We are looking forward to seeing what each project presents and you can read about the projects in brief below! If you won’t be at the AGM, stay tuned for reports on who leaves with one year’s support from Europeana to carry out an Impact Assessment on their project.

• Viktor Lindbäck with Platsminnen, from Sweden. Platsminnen (Swedish = “Place Memories”) is an iPad app, using cultural heritage as a resource for reminiscence activities and communication in dementia care.

• Prof. Jens Bley with Smart Square, from Germany. Smart Square is assessing the impact of digital cultural in the revitalization of  an underused urban square that is the historic cradle of the city of Hamburg.

Leiden University Libraries (UBL) will support Professor Erik Kwakkel, who is radically revitalizing the study of medieval manuscripts through social media, with an impact study to better understand the value of the digital collections.

Square Museum strives to energise the public space with art, culture and artistic impressions that are accessible to a broad, public audience, through a network of interconnected interactive ‘galerie-units’ in six or more European cities.

• Larissa Borck with the Young Heritage Studio, from Germany. Designed by the young, for the young, the aim of the Young Heritage Studio is to find new ways of approaching cultural heritage with the domain of safeguarding it alongside professional memory practices in Europe.
