Teachers' challenges regarding cultural diversity

This paper presents some findings of the fieldwork of my doctoral thesis “Human Rights Educationas a Tool for Social Cohesion” of the Doctoral Program “Education and Society”The main research question that arises is: Can Human Rights Education be the departurepoint to work from, with and for the cultural diversity that characterizes our societies?Human Rights Education has been introduced in our social politics and among them ineducational policies which have a relevant role on the consecution of a cohesive society. Education,as a social right that has to be guarantee, facilitates the social change and the promotionof values and attitudes that favor cohesion.The work of several organizations like United Nations, The Council of Europe or Amnestyinternational have develop a wide variety of materials regarding human rights education atschools, guides and manuals for teachers, courses, development of competences and compendiumof activities.

Experiència artistica i producció cultural, àmbits per a la intervenció socioeducativa

La intervenció socioeducativa troba en les activitats artístiques interessants possibilitats per a treballar amb una gran varietat de col·lectius socials. La col·laboració interdisciplinaria entre diferents arees i entre diferents professionals, educadors, treballadors socials, art-terapeutes, pedagogs i artistes dóna lloc a tot el món línies d'investigació i de projectes d'intervenció socioeducativa amb l'art i altres produccions culturals com a protagonistes. Els professionals de la intervenció socioeducativa tenen eines valuoses per al seu treball.

The normal distribution in some constrained sample spaces

Phenomena with a constrained sample space appear frequently in practice. This is the case e.g. with strictly positive data, or with compositional data, like percentages or proportions. If the natural measure of difference is not the absolute one, simple algebraic properties show that it is more convenient to work with a geometry different from the usual Euclidean geometry in real space, and with a measure different from the usual Lebesgue measure, leading to alternative models which better fit the phenomenon under study. The general approach is presented and illustrated using the normal distribution, both on the positive real line and on the D-part simplex. The original ideas of McAlister in his introduction to the lognormal distribution in 1879, are recovered and updated

Bayes linear spaces

Linear spaces consisting of σ-finite probability measures and infinite measures (improper priors and likelihood functions) are defined. The commutative group operation, called perturbation, is the updating given by Bayes theorem; the inverse operation is the Radon-Nikodym derivative. Bayes spaces of measures are sets of classes of proportional measures. In this framework, basic notions of mathematical statistics get a simple algebraic interpretation. For example, exponential families appear as affine subspaces with their sufficient statistics as a basis. Bayesian statistics, in particular some well-known properties of conjugated priors and likelihood functions, are revisited and slightly extended

Significats compartits : La festa popular, el llegat cultural d'un poble. El cas de la Festa Major a Sant Pere Pescador

Aquest treball analitza la festa popular a través de l'estudi de cas de la festa major de Sant Pere Pescador: es presenta una manifestació concreta de la cultura popular i tradicional a partir d'una pràctica quotidiana. Exposem allò que dóna significat a la festa major, quin paper hi juga a la creació d'identitat i com la gent se l'ha fet seva.

Cultural events and tourist development in Catalonia (Spain)

From the point of view of local development cultural tourism events represent an opportunity since they are distributed homogeneously by the Catalan territory and are experiencing a vertiginous growth as a way to differentiate the existing supply. In our study a sample of 264 telephone surveys made to organizers of events in Catalonia has been compiled, with the purpose of characterizing the existing supply, thematic typologies, management models, commercialization inputs and economic impact. The results allow us to characterize events from the point of view of their tourist potential. Finally some recommendations are set out to develop future tourism policies based on events according to product differentiation, seasonality, competitiveness and creativity.

Cultural events as tourism supply in coastal Catalan resorts

During the last three decades, the number of tourism events has been growing in Catalan coastal resorts because of the recover of Catalan cultural traditions, festivals and folklore, and also because of tourism growth. Catalan tourism resorts use events as catalysers for new supply and as a mean to differentiate and singularize themselves from their competitors. The tourism potential of cultural events is undeniable but there are some problems that prevent a more effective impact as economic and regional development agents. This paper reflects some discussions and conclusions obtained from the analysis of 264 valid responses of a survey made to different Catalan event organizers in 2008 and 2009. We describe and characterize cultural event supply in coastal resorts in order to study the events tourism importance, their capacity to generate and spread economic development, and their managerial model. The analysis is made in a geographical basis, comparing the results of the territorial organization of events of the city of Barcelona, coastal and inland municipalities. Finally some considerations about event regional tourism policy and tourism development are discussed.

Entre la gestió cultural i la gestió turística

Les relacions entre cultura i turisme son cada cop mes estretes i les fronteres conceptuals mes difoses. Una possible metodologia d'anàlisi consisteix a posar en comú els punts d'intersecció a partir dels aspectes mes rellevants de la gestió de cada un deis sectors
