A school programme with a public audience

More than 220 students and 30 mentors took part in Montenegro’s Culture in Movement project, UNESCO reported on 25 August. The programme involved 14 schools across nine municipalities and work with the National Museum of Montenegro.

Local heritage as material

Students used arts activities to explore and reinterpret heritage. UNESCO’s account describes April presentations in Cetinje, Pljevlja and Ulcinj, as well as a closing event in Podgorica. The August publication is a report on the programme, not notice of those events happening this week.

Participation is the measurable starting point

The scale of participation shows how many people and institutions were involved. It does not, on its own, measure a lasting change in attitudes or learning. The interesting feature is the opportunity for pupils to make and present work in dialogue with cultural institutions rather than encounter heritage only through a textbook.
