(71 p.) Format : 15 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84180-176-6 Langues : Anglais Catégories : Culture de masse ; Education ; enseignement Mots-clés : Royaume-Uni Index. décimale : D.01.2.3. Pays de l'union européenne Résumé : The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games will be about more than just sporting competition. The coming together of nations and the billions of people watching on television at home provide an unparalleled moment for the world to look back at itself. At their heart, the Games are an opportunity for learning. This opportunity is reflected in the activities schools and cultural institutions are able to engage in during the four-year Cultural Programme that accompanies a host city's Olympiad. However, past experience shows us that in the rush to deliver the Games these activities can often end up being put to one side. After a bid process that highlighted young people as some of the key beneficiaries of the Games, there is a need to find ways for schools to develop projects that make the most of these opportunities. Drawing on the experience of pas Olympic Games and Paralypinc Games, the work of Creative Partnerships London East and South and research in three London schools, The Biggest Learning Opportunity on Earth looks at different approaches and models of activity that schools could adopt.

The invisible hand / Charlie Tims 

Public ISBD Titre : The invisible hand : Art in the transition to another economy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charlie Tims, Auteur ; Shelagh Wright, Auteur Editeur : London : British Council Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 15 p Langues : Anglais Catégories : Art ; Economie Index. décimale : F.01. Economie de la Culture Note de contenu : Part 1. The Social Economy Behind the current economic downturn lies a deeper problem, namely that the type of exchanges facilitated by the economy are out of kilter with human and environmental needs. Mainstream politicians lack the vocabulary or authority to discuss this issue. Outlets for dissent and deliberation are found elsewhere within the economics profession, in activist movements and attempts to create alternative networks and organisations. In these exchanges some see the seeds of a new ‘social economy’. Part 2. The Invisible Hand The connection between these counter-currents and art, featuring case studies from the IETM network in three parts: (i) the story of artists’ attempts to escape markets (ii) the story of artists’ assault on the power of economists and economics (iii) the story of artists and arts organisations attempt to create alternative economies. These stories are about art not as an input for productivity, or luxury made possible by economic growth, but rather as an ‘invisible hand’ setting the terms on which exchange in the economy takes place. Part 3. Art In Transition This concluding section suggests that artists who start questioning the economy, end up questioning the values of the cultural sector. From this flows an opportunity - to stake out a new, more useful position for art in society less wedded to vested-interests and the distorting influence of the art-market. The concluding recommendations are first, to create a networked discussion about morality and obligation in art and second to ʻschoolʼ emerging alternative economic practice that sustains artistsʼ livelihoods and third to continue to collect examples of artistic projects which can challenge thinking about the economy. These recommendations will be taken forward in the blog which accompanies this paper.
