FRAMEWORK
1. A pedagogical perspective
2. Narrative spaces
3. The Exhibition
4. Youth – Who are they? 5. Two examples
1. A pedagogical perspective
Socio-cultural perspective
Every function in the child´s cultural development appears twice:
first on the social level and later on the individual level:
first between people (interpsychological)
then inside the child (intrapsychological).
Vygotskij
The exhibitionis a situated
practice.
Zone of proximal
development
The situated practice is by nature social
Languages as
mediating resources
VygotskijMeaning - sense
Achieving knowledge has shifted from teaching to learning &
from a teacher-centered process to a student-centered!
Learning – Instruction paradox
• There is a correct body of knowledge for a teacher to
communicate to a student/learner
• a hierarchical architecture of facts and ideas
We need to follow!
This means weneed to focus on the visitor!
And the visitor as a
participator!!
The visitor as a consumer and as a producer
=Exhibition 2.0
2. Narrative spaces
Narrative constitutes
reality
Good art embodies our story and does not remind us of our story
Jerome Bruner

Space is experienced through movement
Objects are experienced through touch

”The Dance of Agency”
Engagement
Agency The capacity to make a difference Giddens
Museums and galleries are important collective activities and must play a role within a lifelong
learning perspective.
3. The Exhibition
We have to understand the exhibition as a learning environment,
a social arena for knowledge construction
through active participation and collaboration
4. Youth – who are they?
In order to work with youth we must understand youth!

mental styles

The MeWE Generation
People narrativize their experience of the world and of their own role in it.

Cecilia Parsberg / Rinkeby, Stockholm What would you like to ask someone who has more power than you?
Why do you have to obey grown ups?
Why are other countries poorer?
If you have power why don´t you use it for something good which can be good for society?
Why am I?
Good that you want to listen there is almost noone who cares about what we think
