Analysis’ key ideas and goals

In the past years, the term “lifelong learning” has become a key expression of basically all fields of education and programs fostering a lifelong self-development attitude and emphasizing it’s increasing importance.

The arts have the potential of mediating different images of cultures and illuminating our understanding of society, thus contributing to the complex network of relationships between people and their environment. Life-long learning through artistic and cultural activities is one of the most effective ways of becoming involved in the community. As mediators of knowledge and cultural heritage and resources of inspiration, cultural institutions, including museums should inevitably play a specific and vital role in this process.

It is significant to understand the special needs, motivations and interests of different target groups to involve them into the education programs. Successful informal learning (IL) strategies today are found when the specificities of the museum or the gallery are combined with audience development strategies. Typically they combat alienation and introduce methodologies of developing creativity through culture and the arts. The social aspect of intergenerational learning links human intelligence and technological awareness to social interaction. These assets rank high on the pleasure ratings of cultural experiences.

At the workshop in Budapest we present and discuss a range of Hungarian and European projects and case studies of successful practices and innovative possibilities of Lifelong Learning programmes in the field of culture.

BEST PRACTICES 11.03.2011

11.00 – 12.00
Visit: LudwigInzert
Host: Veronika Lájer, leader of LudwigInzert
Topic: Audience development: vulnerable groups of the society

Opening in June 2010, Ludwig Inzert is Ludwig Museum’s new external project space at the legendary Józsefváros Gallery, former basis of different consecutive experimental art circles. By launching LudwigInzert, the Ludwig Museum would like to foster a lively relationship with the surrounding city and its residents, while expanding the spectrum of artistic practices represented by its collection and temporary exhibitions.
Veronika Lájer will introduce the institution, and its strategies to reach the people living in the neighbourhood: in the 8th district of Budapest characterised by serious socio-cultural conflicts.

13.00 – 14.00
Visit: Trafó House of Contemporary Art
Host: Áron Fenyvesi, curator of the Trafó Gallery

Trafó is an institution, a building, a place, a medium, an intellectual adventure, a risk and a possibility. It is a house that belongs to the contemporary arts; a place where life speaks about dance, theater, visual arts, literature and music; a theater, which has no company, and where the viewer is equal with the created opportunity. Trafó is a place where emotion is allowed more space than usual alongside abstraction, a place through which we can look out into the world.
