Description:

A comparative study carried out by the Institute of Government and Public Policy of the UAB (IGOP-UAB) with the support of the “la Caixa” Foundation has analysed how social innovation in the 0-3 years stage can improve equality and the universalisation of early childhood education and care services.

The study was coordinated by and included researchers Raquel Gallego and Lara Maestripieri (IGOP-UAB), and Sheila González Motos (UB) and analysed seven cases of social innovation initiatives in cities around the world: Barcelona, Oslo, Seine-Saint-Denis, Portsmouth, Tel Aviv, Tokyo and Venice.

The results of the research, which have been published in book format by Emerald Publishing Limited under the title "Innovation and Welfare State Retrenchment. A Comparative Analysis of Early Childhood Education and Care in Europe and Beyond", will now be presented at this event organised by the IGOP-UAB at the Palacio Macaya.

Places are limited, so please register to attend.

Description:

Under the framework of the UAB Heritage Campus, during the month of May there will be a programme of activities organised by the Department of Art and Musicology, in collaboration with the Faculty of Arts and the CORE in Cultural Heritage, which includes various proposals on heritage from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective.

Among the activities is the First Conference on Uncomfortable Heritages, an interdisciplinary debate on the challenges posed by conflictive memory and controversial heritage legacies in the academic, institutional and social spheres.

The conference will begin with a presentation by Daniel Rico Camps and Carles Sánchez Márquez, director and lecturer in the Department of Art and Musicology, respectively. Then, UAB Heritage Management students Pau Argemí Hernández; Paula Cordobés Martínez; Andrea López Borràs and Andrei Rodríguez Ortega will speak about the mural identity project. Germán Labrador Méndez, lecturer at the Institute of Language, Literature and Anthropology and researcher at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) of the ATRAE programme, will speak about censorship in the construction of the democratic city (art, public space, memory and freedom of expression). Jordi Guixé Coromines, director of the European Observatory of Memories (EUROM), will explain the projects, reflections and interventions on the uncomfortable memorial heritage of wars and dictatorships.

The activity will take place on 16 May at 9:15 a.m. in Aula 603 of the Department of Art and Musicology, Faculty of Arts & Humanities. For further information and registration, please contact this e-mail address.
