SPICE - Social cohesion, Participation, and Inclusion through Cultural Engagement - a project dedicated to citizen curation of cultural heritage, funded by the EU Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020. We foster diverse participation in the heritage domain through: ▪ Citizen curation - Citizens are supported in developing interpretations of cultural objects, working together to present their collective view of life, and gaining an appreciation of alternative cultural viewpoints. ▪ Codesign - We collaborate with museum professionals and citizens to design methods that can be used to develop, annotate, and share personal interpretations of cultural objects. ▪ Social cohesion - We develop tools and methods to assist citizens in appreciating similarities and differences within and across community groups to build empathy and understanding. Design citizen curation methods: We use state-of-the-art technologies to develop tools that allow users to create and semantically annotate their own interpretations. Citizens can use the tools to visualise and reflect on their own opinions and engage with a diverse range of perspectives. To whom we talk: ▪ Heritage institutions - Museums and heritage practitioners that aim to adopt project tools and methods to engage with their patrons. ▪ Community groups - Community organisations and excluded groups that want to codesign and provide feedback on tools and methods. ▪ Public - Social media platforms, newsletters, and local press will help us to reach members of the public that have an active interest in culture. ▪ Educators - School teachers and educators that aim to integrate project results into courses and curricula.
