Trabajar el patrimonio histórico-artístico y cultural con maestros en formación de educación infantil

La participación de modo práctico en la asignatura de Conocimiento del Medio Social y Cultural y su Didáctica, de los alumnos de 2º curso de Educación Infantil de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Granada, nos llevó desde el planteamiento inicial a enfrentarnos a nivel teórico-práctico a un grupo de alumnos universitarios que en un futuro cercano van a tener la posibilidad de poner en práctica la experiencia vivida, y contextualizarla según las exigencias de nuestro sistema educativo. Como signo de alerta llamó nuestra atención el hecho de que a la altura de curso en el que entramos en contacto, y a falta de un curso académico para la finalización de la carrera, el 90% de éstos no habían manifestado interés, ni siquiera curiosidad por uno de los ejemplos patrimoniales más significativos de la ciudad de Granada, y vecino a la Facultad que era sede diaria de los alumnos. Por ello, acercarnos al monumento y sugerir mediante un aprendizaje autónomo la propuesta de planteamientos didácticos de aproximación al Patrimonio Histórico- Artístico y Cultural fue todo un reto y una experiencia muy válida compartida entre estudiantes y docente

The UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity: An Appraisal Five Years after Its Entry into Force

The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted in 2005 the first legally binding international instrument on culture. The Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions was agreed upon with an overwhelming majority and after the swiftest ratification process in the history of the UNESCO entered into force on 18 March 2007. Now, five years later and with some 125 Members committed to implementing the Convention, not only observers with a particular interest in the topic but also the broader public may be eager to know what has happened and in how far has the implementation progress advanced. This is the question that animates this paper and which it seeks to answer by giving a brief background to the UNESCO Convention, clarifying its legal and political status and impact, as well as by looking at the current implementation activities in the domestic and international contexts.

The challenges of safeguarding and securing cultural heritage materials during violent conflict in Nigeria.

Almost every community, country and continent is experiencing a form of conflict, war or disaster. These wars have claimed lives, antiquities, heritage materials, contemporary Arts, Galleries, Museums, Archives, Monuments andHeritage sites. The aim of this study is to explore the challenges of safeguarding cultural heritage material during violent conflict in Nigeria bearing in mind the two UNESCO world heritage sites in Nigeria: Sukur kingdom and Osun Oshogbo sacred Grove. The outcome of this study will help the policy makers to address the challenges of safeguarding cultural heritage materials in times of conflicts, bridge the gap on the existing literature concerning the safeguarding of cultural heritage materials in times of conflict and to make a modest contribution to the existing body of knowledge on cultural heritage protection in Nigeria in particular and other parts of the world in general. This study relies on both primary and secondary sources using questionnaire and oral interview to elicit information from selected relevant cultural agencies, journalists and scholars in the field of art and culture. Relevant literature and documents on the challenges of safeguarding and securing of cultural heritage materials during conflicts were reviewed. The data gathered from the questionnaires and the oral interview is presented in frequency tabular form to give precise and comprehensive insight into the study findings. Notable among the challenges were insecurity and lack of professionalism in the field of cultural heritage profession. The study also revealed that governments are not enforcing the global laws and conventions for the protection of cultural heritage materials in times of violent conflict. The communities where these materials are located have little or no knowledge about the import of these materials and do not take part in securing them in the event of conflict. It is crucial that we place high value on heritage materials since they are inextricably linked with our identity and where we come from. It is strongly recommended that Cultural Heritage Institutions should involve as much as possible the local communities living around the sites by creating awareness educating and encouraging them to take ownership of the Sites located within their communities. They must ensure that the site is safeguarded against all forms of threat. Items of heritage value are not often considered in most disaster management plans therefore there is the need to consider heritage as priority just as the protection of lives and property.

La història del turisme a la ciutat de Girona

Breu itinerari per la història del turisme de la ciutat de Girona, estructurada en quatre períodes. En la primera etapa, s'assenten les bases de la imatge turística de la ciutat (1850 1900); el període artesanal (1900-1950) coincideix amb els primers passos de la indústria turística i la consolidació de l'ideal romàntic; seguidament, el període fordista (1950- 1980) és la fase de transformació radical del turisme i implica una concentració de la demanda en el litoral; i, finalment, el període postfordista (1980-2006), caracteritzat per la instauració de la democràcia, l'inici de l'esgotament del model tradicional i la densitat creixent de fluxos turístics al Barri Vell
