Culture and Citizenship
Culture and Citizenship Meeting
The past 28th and 29th of September we attended the III Meeting on Culture and Citizenship, organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, which took place in Madrid. It addressed the various dimensions that today imply -or should imply- the enjoyment and exercise of culture, in terms of access and production. Issues such as autonomy and cultural democracy, the review of the consumer-producer dichotomy, the need for a truly diverse and inclusive culture, the role of culture in the public space and the digital space, intermediation processes and the relationships between culture and education or the new institutions that derive from all this were the central points of the Meeting.
Workshop for SEDIC members
At the request of the Spanish Society of Documentation and Scientific Information (SEDIC), we have held a Wikipedia workshop in which we explained the policies of Wikimedia projects and the different possibilities of collaborating. The activity was held in the Regional Library Joaquín Leguina in Madrid and almost 20 people from the field of documentation, libraries and archives attended.
