The transformation of museums and education in the north meets thecontemporary political agenda on Lifelong Learning and the implementationof the 21st Century Skills Framework and emphasise a neo-liberalisation of cultural and educational politics in the Nordic countries. The Nordic foundationon democracy establishes a fundamental backdrop for a necessary recalling ofcultural and educational purposes as the Nordic dimension begins to dissolvedue to the exchange of transnational and more isomorphic co-productivearrangements.In Finland, they have reformed their educational system with an emphasis oncontent rather than outcomes and the essential distinction between “matter andmeaning” has been revitalised as it used to dominate educational and culturalsettings in the Nordic countries. The shift towards outcomes in Scandinaviaestablishes both (old) barriers to and (new) possibilities for collaboration betweenMuseums and Education in the North.The project Museums and Education in the North (2017-2020) is funded bythe Nordic Culture Fund and the Nordic Culture Point and managed by TheNordic Centre for Heritage Learning and Creativity (NCK) in Östersund,Sweden. In collaboration with partners from four Nordic countries, Sweden,Denmark, Norway and Finland, the purpose, pedagogy and performance ofthe national initiatives become the backdrop for further discussions regardingpossibilities for and barriers to collaboration between cultural and educationalsettings in the North. |
