Artistic and Cultural Education for Sustainable Development: A Case Study from a Rural Life Museum in Spain

Yearbook of the European Network of Observatories in the Field of Arts and Cultural Education, 2021

Currently, cultural and artistic education for sustainable development is the core focus of the new strategic plan of the museum. From an ethnological perspective, the museum is using a cultural ecology (Steward, Theory of culture change: the methodology of multilinear evolution, University of Illinois Press, 1972) approach to understand how the tangible and intangible heritage provides specific educational strategies to achieve sustainability challenges. The museum’s educational work with schools is one of its most important programmes. The main goal of this programme is to generate a sense of wonder and concern for the global ecosystem and encourage critical reflection on humans’ dependence on natural resources through the observation of the rural way of life. This article is a study of an educational activity about the topic of plastic considered as a case. The museum’s educators worked with two primary schools, a secondary school and an arts school from February to June 2019. The conclusion is that a holistic educational approach to big sustainability problems which combines science and art, memory and creativity is important for sustainability achievements and that educational activities designed from that approach are easy to relate with school pedagogical projects.

Educational and Cultural Policy in Catalunya (1980-2010)

Local innovative projects, point at some guidelines and stress the potential of a more cooperative approach between the cultural sector and the educational sector. Unfortunately, they have not succeeded to go beyond the threshold of good practices and become a generalized standard. Our hypothesis is that the juridical frame established between 1980 and 2010 does not satisfy the current social demands on education and culture The aim of our investigation is to identify the diverging factors and indicate the difficulties of such an interrelation on the basis of studying the law in both the educational and the cultural field, and an analysis of qualified opinions of experts, technicians and politicians. The main conclusion of our investigation is the confirmation of a lack of fluidity and articulation of the dialog between the world of edu...

Arts Education in Contexts of High Diversity or Intercultural Education Through the Arts: Measuring Overlaps and Exploring the Gaps

Yearbook of the European Network of Observatories in the Field of Arts and Cultural Education (ENO)

It does so based on an analysis of the impacts of a 2-year-long arts education project implemented in schools characterized by high levels of cultural diversity in Catalonia, Spain, and a focus group discussion with the participating teachers and artists. The results suggest that arts education can contribute to enhancing cultural awareness and knowledge, improving relations among classmates, raising awareness of cultural expression as a human right and enhancing perceptions of schools as places for expression of one’s own culture. However, impacts are not automatic and arguably differ by discipline. More targeted evaluation frameworks that capture a broader range of intercultural competencies would contribute to generating better understanding on the topic. At the same time, increased opportunities for specialized training for both artists and educators could contribute to better harness the potential of arts education to contribute to the development of intercultural capacities among students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Polítiques culturals i educació a Catalunya (1980-2010)

Projectes locals innovadors assenyalen les orientacions i constaten les potencialitats del treball cooperatiu entre el sector cultural i l’educació però no aconsegueixen superar el llindar de les bones pràctiques i generalitzar-se. Partim de la hipòtesis que els marcs jurídics establerts entre 1980 i 2010 a Catalunya, no responen a les demandes educatives i culturals del present. L’objectiu d’aquesta investigació ha estat identificar els factors de divergència i demostrar les dificultats de la interrelació a partir de l’estudi de les lleis d’educació i cultura i l’anàlisi de l’opinió qualificada d’experts, tècnics i responsables polítics. Els resultats de la investigació ens confirmen que el diàleg jurídic i administratiu entre el món de l’educació i el de la cultura a Catalunya no és fluid ni està articulat. Les causes son sobretot de tipus po...
