CISOC – Compromisso de Impacto Social das Organizações Culturais: porquê, para quê, como e com quem?

23 January 2024

This Webinar, titled “Human Library, deconstructing prejudice” focuses on the Commitment to the Social Impact of Cultural Organisations”, the reasons for its development, its objectives, methodologies and target audiences. Cultural institutions are not neutral. Because of their mission, because they intervene in the public space, in the way they relate to communities, in the decisions they make, how and what they programme, in the way they work with production, mediation and access… These choices are political and never neutral, even if they may be ill-considered. How can cultural organisations serve

Governing the commons on an Aegean island: the management of water resources on Sifnos, Greece

9 January 2024

This paper explores a locally devised system of equitable and sustainable access to scarce water resources in Poulati, an area on the Cycladic island of Sifnos, Greece, drawing on interviews with landowners, notary records and local histories. We showed that the set of rules for rationing water was already present in the early 14th-century, when the island was under Venetian domination. The authors finally traced the resilience of the Poulati system to its close fit with Elinor Ostrom’s ‘design principles of long-surviving, self-organized resource regimes’. The threats to the survival

Youth participation in cultural heritage management: a conceptual framework

8 January 2024

This paper addresses the evolving landscape of cultural heritage management, emphasizing the imperative of inclusive practices involving diverse stakeholders, notably underrepresented youth. Despite their potential as future decision-makers, youth participation in heritage management remains limited due to perceived lack of capacity and motivation. Existing literature from participatory urban planning, design, governance, and heritage management fields offers insights into defining youth roles, levels of participation, and engagement methods. However, it often overlooks the dynamic nature of youth involvement and lacks youth perspectives on their participatory experiences. To bridge this gap, an

Hilāl: 50 years of Islamic worship in Flanders – 1974 – 2024

1 January 2024

Religious organizations play an important role in the life of faith communities. This also applies to mosques that perform not only religious, but also socio-cultural functions for the various Muslim communities in Flanders and Brussels. Those different functions are reflected in the diverse heritage that reflects mosque life. That material and immaterial mosque heritage offers a lot of potential for cooperation, but it remains underexposed. With this three-year heritage project, KADOC KU Leuven, together with a broad network of local and national heritage players, wants to stimulate cooperation between the
