Het jaar van de tradities
Een belangrijke reden om het Jaar van de Tradities te organiseren, is dat het belang van tradities steeds meer wordt ingezien. Tradities zijn gewoonten en gebruiken die je van huis uit hebt mee gekregen. In een snel veranderende tijd, in een globaliserende wereld en in een multiculturele samenleving is er behoefte aan inzicht in de eigen tradities en die van de omgeving. Het Jaar van de Tradities wil een bijdrage leveren aan de bewustwording van het belang van tradities en rituelen.
Het woord traditie komt van het latijnse woord traditio, dat overhandigen betekent. Het is het doorgeven van cultuur van de ene generatie aan de andere generatie.
Tradities hebben dus niet alleen betrekking op vroeger, maar het zijn gewoonten en gebruiken die van ouders op kinderen zijn overgedragen.
Als wij het hebben over tradities met een historische dimensie, dan spreken wij vaak over immaterieel erfgoed. Sinds UNESCO in 2003 over de bescherming van het immaterieel erfgoed een conventie heeft aangenomen, heeft dit begrip in Nederland snel ingang gevonden. Onder immaterieel erfgoed worden de tradities en rituelen gerekend die belangrijk genoeg zijn om te behouden voor volgende generaties. Ook verstaan wij onder immaterieel erfgoed het verhaal achter het materieel erfgoed: de verhalen van de monumenten, archiefstukken en museumvoorwerpen.
In het Jaar van de Tradities willen wij de belangrijke tradities en rituelen in Nederland inventariseren, documenteren, onderzoeken en toegankelijk maken voor iedereen.

VOXPOP II
I finally found the time to check my mail and our blog (I'm at school now) . i can see ya'll had a lot of ideas about the fox pop. My idea for a question is: If you were mayor of Rotterdam, what would you change or keep in the city? What part, place, symbol, etc of Rotterdam is most important for you/where do you feel most at home?
Karlijn told me that the idea is that next Tuesday we'll try out the fox pop. Problem is I work next Tuesday and Wednesday so I hope we can do it another day? Maybe this weekend or another weekday? I'm going to check my mail again tomorrow, but you can also call or text me.
Grtz Janneke

vox pop msn chat
dan says: all three in one convo
Koen says: haha
Koen says: yeah also in the other chat
Koen says: but ill close that one
dan says: me to
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: riight, was confused there for a sec :P
dan says: haha
Koen says: haha well we made it
Koen says: right, what's the plan my friends
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: to get some kind of good idea...
Koen says: yeah
Koen says: well shal I go first than?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: blow us away!
dan says: yea shore
Koen says: Allright wel to get started I thought about the exact question
Koen says: I'll first say it in dutch and then try to translate it
Koen says: Met welke traditie of gebruik wil jij de inwoners van Rotterdam kennis laten maken?
Of Welke traditie of gebruik wat jij hebt geleerd wil jij graag doorgeven aan de inwoners van Rotterdam?
Koen says: Wich tradition or habit you learned do you want to introduce to the people of Rotterdam?
or Wich tradition or habit you learned do you like to pass on to the inhabitants of Rotterdam?
Koen says: Than the way for the voxpop
Koen says: Like we discussed last week, I'm a believer of luring people to you with food.
Koen says: So maybe strawberrys in chocolate or typical foods from all kind of cultures. Just to get the people close and then ask them the question.
Koen says: But next to that I think it can also be interesting if we made just a piece of paper with a question and paste it to places where people wait for the bus, train, tram or at offices. A collegue of mine did it that way, and he was getting a lot of reactions with only pasting paper on a busstop, with a pen attached to it.
Koen says: So maybe we can do and and do both
Koen says: An other think we can think about is not luring the people with food but luring people out of curiosity
Koen says: so than we have to think about creating something strange, so people come our way out of curiosity. But than the problem is how to integrate the question
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: (or oa comb of those, since we may run out of food?)
dan says: yea that's true but if we use food we have to make shore we have enough so it will last
Koen says: yeah or lets say we make 100 things? so if we run out of it, then we have enough answers
dan says: yea and if we use fruit or sweets that will be cheep to get a lot of small ones
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: number of foods is number of answers...
Koen says: yea
Koen says: exactly, the thing is that I'm curious how people will react to that
Koen says: and how to make it work
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: indeed...
Koen says: if we make a big banner with free food
Koen says: when is the time to ask the people the question
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: hordes will come!
Koen says: haha
Koen says: maybe we have to walk with a plate sweets on them
Koen says: and then ask tthem do you want this delicious thing ( whatever it may be) and than immediately ask them a question
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: mobile 'maid cafe'
Koen says: so we dont make a stand
Koen says: yeah exactly
Koen says: walking
Koen says: so but im curious about your ideas
dan says: how would we record it?
Koen says: camera
Koen says: or maybe not
Koen says: maybe we have to tape them secretely
Koen says: but then we dont get pictures of the people
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: most people don't want a camera in their face.. this I know from experience...
Koen says: yeah
Koen says: your right
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: and basically, we only need their voice... since we didn't want to be biased
Koen says: yep
dan says: yea
Koen says: but we thought about taping so maybe we can do something in the future with the data
Koen says: but I think we have to do it secretely
dan says: i think we do need them to know they are being taped
Koen says: just to make it easier for us
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: aah, true...
Koen says: yeah but how can we make that work then?
dan says: but if we wont to play the recordings at the presentation we need to have permission and to make that work we would need some where were they can record by themselves in privet to make them feel more relaxed about doing it
Koen says: why do we need permission Dan?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: research standards...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: always let the participants know what your doing...
dan says: well we can do it without permission but technically speaking it is illegal to present it in public without permission
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: or at least afterwards...
Koen says: Well in that case maybe the best thing to do is just being absolutely honest.
Koen says: Good day sir we are bla bla bla from blablabla can I ask you one question?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: 'No'
Koen says: haha
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: luring, then the 'blabla' might work though
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: but that would require people coming to YOU, not the other way around
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: people will think they have better things to do, and right they are...
dan says: but thats what we have to convince them that it is worth there time
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: I myself was thinking aboout some sort of open tent, but I didn't think security would love us for it
dan says: we would need something that is completely portable to keep them from getting angry
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: exactly
Koen says: like...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: and because of the rain... some kind of shelter would be nice... that's where my thoughts were going...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: how to solve it, that's another question *sweatdrop*
Koen says: Well if it rains than it could be very easy
Koen says: just walk around with giant umbrellas
Koen says: and people can come under it
Koen says: but then they have to answer the question
Koen says: so we buy 3 giant umbrellas
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: true enough
Koen says: paint a question sign on top of it
Koen says: awsome
Koen says: but then it HAS to rain
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: yeah
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: and it -is- a rain-sun-rain-sun kind of deal these days...
Koen says: We can never be certain
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: nope
dan says: what happens if we taped a recorder to a umbrella and ad a curtain around it then we have a portable tent that people have privacy in
Koen says: hahaha
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: ooooh
Koen says: Pretty cool idea
Koen says: but will people actually go in?
Koen says: its pretty small
Koen says: maybe thats to private, you know what i mean?
dan says: make it a see through shower curtain then?
Koen says: but what will trigger the people actually going in
Koen says: because the audience has to come really close to a person wiuth a umbrella they dont know
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: doesn't have to be a full length cutain, maybe just enough to cover heads
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: that's true
dan says: no you let them hold the umbrella
dan says: lol
dan says: that would be really close
Koen says: ahhhh
Koen says: thats what you mean
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: and then they would run away with it :P
Koen says: that could be a good one
Koen says: just handig them a umbrella
Koen says: with a curtain
Koen says: and a question in it
Koen says: and how they answer
Koen says: by speaking and we tape it?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: guess so
dan says: yea just a quick idea i hadn't thought of everything about it
Koen says: yeah
Koen says: but I think it can work
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: but I think there might be a need of something extra... another trigger...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: just keeping dry may not cut it
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: maybe there's where food comes into play... but it'll need to be a real GIANT umbrella...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: more like a... you know... anti-sun thing...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: word escapes me...
Koen says: yeah
dan says: yea
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: sunbrella >.>
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: excuse my idiocy :P
dan says: if we did that we would really need to get people curious about it
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: yup
Koen says: indeed
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: and that when it doesn't rain, it'll still work
dan says: any ideas?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: if we make it hospitable enough, make it give of a safe, warm, cozy feeling, people might still be intruiged into 'sheltering'
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: even if it's just to talk about I-don't0-know-what, and we just pop the question at some time
Koen says: hmmm...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: well, it would work with loder people... but I'm not so sure about younger... ehehe...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: loder..? older...
dan says: maybe louder is the solution just be loud to get attention
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: music... colours..?
Koen says: well i think that younger people if you just wallk to them you can get ypur answers
Koen says: to me its more the old people
Koen says: because I think if it doesnt rain
Koen says: people dont come for shelter
Koen says: they are in the city with a reason, buying stuff and getting hoem as quickly as possible
dan says: so do we stand in there way or to the side?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: true, though going to people to get them to answer a question... last time someone came to me I was ready to clobber them, just because it was the upteenth time...
Koen says: hmm
Koen says: difficult
dan says: so we have to make them come to us
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: yea
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: I really think that has to be the case
Koen says: so we're back at the start
Koen says: luring them with food? luring them out of curioscity
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: guess so
dan says: is there a way we could rope off a area of the street? and then people culd have to walk through our area
Koen says: hmm
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: not sure... no idea
Koen says: I dont think people like that
dan says: yea thats true
Koen says: And we can;t lie about they can win a bgi prize when they participate can we?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: lol, no
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: unless the bog prize is a sweet :P
Koen says: haha
Koen says: the big prize is that you have done your good deed of the day
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: a hug from a person of choice
Koen says: maybe we have to play into the feeling that they really did a good deed by participating for 10 seconds
dan says: maybe they get to play a game after answering a question
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: or we make a game that makes sure we get an answer at the end of it
Koen says: but a game that takes a lot of time off peoplew
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: life size 'ganzenborden'.. eh...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: ah, true...
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: forgot
Koen says: so then the game has to be really really interesting
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: life-changing interesting...
Koen says: haha
Koen says: and what if we make a big banner
Koen says: and a table with food on it
Koen says: so they could already read the question
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: I'm actually a fan of the idea of a banner
Koen says: and than they can make the choice if i take delicious food i have to answer that question
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: and what abput market days? might be a good time...
Koen says: indeed
Koen says: but i wonder how many people will come
Koen says: I have nu idea
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: no idea...
Koen says: Dan, you a live?
Koen says: alife
dan says: sorry was just thinking
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: thinking is good!
dan says: its really hard to tell how many people will actually participate
Koen says: yes
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: no way to tell from just guessing
Koen says: so we have to find out
Koen says: so what idea whe think could attract the most people than we're just trying that out
Koen says: and than it could be an option to also bomb the streets with papers and pens attached to busstops etc
Koen says: (just to get more people
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: exactly, we don't have to hold on to just one idea
Koen says: lets do both
Koen says: the bombing is very easy
Koen says: we design the paper
Koen says: print it 100 times out
Koen says: making a paste tour through rotterdam
Koen says: and after a few days you pick the papers op
Koen says: it could maybe also say something about wehat kind of people or neighborhoods are willing to participate in it
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: true that
dan says: yea
dan says: i think for the non printed one we need to make the experience as quick as possible for people
Koen says: indeed
Koen says: so how do we do that
dan says: maybe the banner should have the question on it so people know the question by the time they get to us. did some one already say that tho?
Koen says: yeah
Koen says: but then why should people go to that banner and answer it
Koen says: I have an idea
Koen says: What if we make a big banner
Koen says: and put the quastion on it
Koen says: but underneath it we write down the answers we get in one word
dan says: or do we have a banner saying answer our question and win a surprise
Koen says: and then turving
Koen says: so people can immediately see what we do with their answers and what the rest is saying
Koen says: so they we immediately give it back to the people of rotterdam
dan says: yea thats true but would seeing that change there answer
Koen says: beacuse they get influenced from others
Koen says: that could be an option
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: good point
Koen says: but maybe the had an answer in their mind and they see a different one and they think a yeah thats more important to me
Koen says: so than they wouldnt lie
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: could go both ways
dan says: yea
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: and if it's only one word, how much influence could that be?
Koen says: well if they see something like be good to people
Koen says: and they see that 80 people said that I can imagine that more people wil answer that question also
Koen says: so you have a point
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: that's true
Koen says: If we ask them individualy we will get different answers than if we putted them on a banner
Koen says: but yeah the question is if it's wrong
dan says: if whats wrong?
Koen says: that people are getting influenced aand answer same things because they see it on the screen
dan says: which wuld be more intresting
Koen says: Well I think we get more answers with writing it on the banner
Koen says: but maybe the individual questions would be more interesting
Koen says: if we ask them individual we get more different answers i would say
dan says: yea thats what i would say
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: would make it more difficult for us
Koen says: a lot i think
dan says: hmm
Koen says: but maybe it could also be more handy for our research if we have less different answers
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: easier to make categories
Koen says: indeed
dan says: i guess it would be cheeper if we just brought a big sheet and some pens!
Koen says: and that we can do with the banner right?
dan says: yea
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: yup
Koen says: so maybe we just have to do it
Koen says: and if one doesnt work well we skip to the other idesa
Koen says: with the writing down the answers yes or no
dan says: which one was that?
Koen says: well if we just make a big sheet with the question on it
Koen says: no never mind
Koen says: im brabbeling
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: oi
dan says: oi what?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: Koen's brabbeling... that's worth an 'oi', no? ;)
dan says: dont worry koen i just got what you said and what is brabbeling?
Koen says: ahh
Koen says: brabbeling is talking shit
Koen says: so i was trying to say something but then I was like no this doesnt make sense
dan says: ahh ok
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: ghehehe
dan says: so were going to make a big banner and get people to write there answers on it yea?
Koen says: aahh thats also an option
Koen says: i ment that we were writing it down and categorising it
Koen says: but we can let them do it also indeed
Koen says: and then we can categorize it at school
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: lay down some sheets and/or on a banner for them to write on, then we can make sure we have their answers and not our interpretations of what they said to us
dan says: yea
Koen says: allright
Koen says: lets do that
Koen says: we just make a sheet with the text on it
Koen says: and then we are standing by it luring people to us and give them a marker to ewrite things down
dan says: yea
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: yup
Koen says: okay
Koen says: well lets pick a date
Koen says: and lets formulate the excect question now
dan says: yea
Koen says: we have to make the question as easy understanding as possible
dan says: in dutch yea?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: so that it doesn't need an explanation
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: dutch yeah
Koen says: yea in dutch
Koen says: Met welke traditie of gebruik wil jij de inwoners van Rotterdam kennis laten maken?
Of Welke traditie of gebruik wat jij hebt geleerd wil jij graag doorgeven aan de inwoners van Rotterdam?
Koen zegt: Wich tradition or habit you learned do you want to introduce to the people of Rotterdam?
or Wich tradition or habit you learned do you like to pass on to the inhabitan
Koen says: can we simplify this?
dan says: do you have a tradition or habit you would like to pass on to the people of rotterdam?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: "What tradtion or habit is important to you?"
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: if it's important to them, they might want to take it 'into the future' and 'introduce the rest of R'dam with it'
Koen says: but is What tradtion or habit is important to you?" the same as Wich tradition or habit you learned do you want to introduce to the people of Rotterdam?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: not exactly, no
Koen says: your missing out the part sharing with your inhabitants odf rotterdam
Koen says: im not sure if thats a bad thing or a good thing
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: not sure either...
Koen says: because the question is really simple and easy what i like
dan says: i dont think we need to say the people of rotterdam because were asking the people of rotterdam
Koen says: thats true
Koen says: but there are also traditions that you might not want to share with rotterdam?
Koen says: but you still can find them important to you
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: true
dan says: yea
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: 'worth sharing'
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: might be brutish...
Koen says: what tradition/value./habit do you want to share
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: 'with who?'
so maybe 'with rotterdam' might not be amiss
dan says: i dont think we need to mention rotterdam at all
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: maybe not no, now that I think about it
Koen says: okay
Koen says: so just ask them
Koen says: wich valye or habit or blabla is worth sharing
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: yeah
dan says: yea
Koen says: oke
Koen says: great
Koen says: well that leaves us with the date
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: too much text is also a bother, so
Koen says: caraline you know anything about jannekes schedule?
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: nothing
Caraline ~ Saezuru! says: But I do have her number, if her email was correct, do I can call
Koen says: allright

Jongerencultuur / 'Rotterdam is in wezen een provinciestad'
Jonge Rotterdamse cultuurmakers spijkerden vorige week donderdag, midden in de nacht, een manifest op de deuren van cultuurinstellingen en het stadhuis. Het roer moet om, anders gaat in Rotterdam over tien jaar het licht uit.
Van Strien (36) is een van de 'leden' van R2002, een samenwerkingsverband van 22 jonge cultuurmakers in Rotterdam, dat met een tien-puntenmanifest het totale gebrek aan kennis van de straat en jongeren-subculturen bij de 'gevestigde orde' wil doorbreken. Want ondanks het hippe, jonge en dynamische imago van Rotterdam, worden veelbelovende initiatieven van jong talent vroegtijdig de kop ingedrukt of domweg niet (h)erkend. ,,We zijn blij als we in een krant of de Nieuwe Revu 'hip' genoemd worden. Maar het lukt absoluut nog niet om mensen buiten Rotterdam duidelijk te maken wat dat dan precies inhoudt. Rotterdam is voor de buitenwereld nog te veel een flitsend decor, zonder dat ze de acteurs kennen.''
Het probleem is tweeledig, vinden ook Bernard Zom (34) van communicatiebureau The Shop en Michel Smit (30), die samen met een partner het in Rotterdam steeds populairdere club Off Corso runt. De manier waarop Rotterdam jongerencultuur aan de man brengt is 'van een onthutsende oubolligheid'. Van Strien: ,,Ken je R'Uit? Dat is het culturele magazine van Rotterdam. Daar staat in waar je op donderdag kunt klaverjassen, zeg maar. Wat dat betreft zijn we in wezen nog een provinciestad.''
De subsidiepot jes worden al tientallen jaren beheerd door veertigers en vijftigers. Jongeren mogen wel ideeën leveren, maar die worden vaak uit hun handen gegrist en door de cultuursector totaal verkeerd aan de man gebracht. Zom: ,,Ze zitten achter een bureau en snappen niet waarom iets niet lukt. Je moet jongeren niet alleen iets laten bedenken, maar ze moeten dat 'halffabrikaat' ook zelf kunnen uitwerken. Zij snappen het beste hoe het in elkaar zit. We moeten van een top-down aanpak naar
bottom-up.''
Michel Smit moest vorige week nog een backpacker teleurstellen. ,,Die vroeg of er op dinsdag avond iets leuks te doen was in Rotterdam. Ik grapte dat hij wel mee naar huis mocht om leuke plaatjes te draaien. Maar eigenlijk is het triest.'' Smit zelf heeft, net als party-organisator en mede-R2002'er Ted Langenbach, bij Off Corso horeca en cultuur gemixt. Werk van jong talent, zoals video-artists, krijgt een kans, terwijl het publiek relaxed uit kan gaan. ,,Het is hier niet alleen maar bier drinken en lekkere wijven kijken. Als je dat kunt overbrengen, verzamel je vanzelf de juiste mensen om je heen.''
Off Corso is dan ook een voorbeeld van hoe je jongerencultuur zou moeten opstuwen. Zom: ,,Dit is veel meer 'underground' dan een zwaar gesubsidieerde expositie waar drie mensen op afkomen''. Het manifest van R2002 is dan ook helder. De initiatiefnemers, veelal laat-twintigers en dertigers, fungeren als 'grote broer of zus' voor aanstormend, jonger talent, dat maar al te vaak tegen starre instellingen of ambtenaren opknalt. De gemeente moet daarnaast het belang inzien van 'broedplaatsen'. Groepjes jongeren worden te vaak gezien als overlast, terwijl ze op straat juist ideeën opdoen. Van Strien: ,,We moeten in Rotterdam af van die negen-tot-vijfcultuur. De beste ideeën ontstaan 's avonds, maar dan zijn er nauwelijks dingen open. Cultuur gaat nu eenmaal 24 uur per dag door.''
Het manifest van R2002 wordt op 29 augustus aangeboden aan het nieuwe stadsbestuur. De grootste partij, Leefbaar Rotterdam, heeft een broertje dood aan al te veel subsidies voor cultuur. Op het cultuurbudget wordt zeker tien procent bezuinigd. Toch zijn de leden van R2002 niet bij voorbaat huiverig voor het nieuwe cultuurbeleid. Van Strien: ,,Ze hebben gezegd dat ze naar de burger gaan luisteren. Wij zijn ook een burgerbeweging.''
This text is about that the people from the government who can give away money for cultural foundations in Rotterdam are all old 'grey people' who don't no what's happening nowadays.

Definition of cultural heritage from Erasmus university
Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage may be described as 'the actual use of the past'. In the West, the term 'cultural heritage' covers, primarily, tangible, man-made objects from a distant or recent past. All these objects - whether works of art, handicrafts, buildings, monuments, archaeological sites, books or documents - display important and characteristic aspects of the history of mankind, in particular the history of art, science and technology. They embody former beliefs, knowledge and skills. They secure individuals, groups and nations in time and place. So-called negative cultural heritage, reminiscent of difficult, even traumatic, events and episodes, is protected as well, as part of the history of a nation or a distinctive group.
In the West, a large number of these objects are being studied and exhibited through institutions equipped to protect and preserve them: archives, libraries, museums, listed archaeological and architectonic monuments. Studying the history and development of cultural heritage involves studying the institutions which protect that heritage; because they define cultural heritage to a high degree. In this research proposal, the institutional perspective is as important as the individual heritage objects themselves. By 'institution' we mean the complex made up of policies, practices and organizations.
Starting in the nineteenth century, an active heritage policy has taken shape and expanded. It was the outcome of the Enlightenment project of declaring all possible objects fit for collecting and research, objects from far away countries and civilisations included. Civilisations outside Europe were not so fascinated by the Other as we were and maybe still are. Objects and monuments have been collected in museums and archives, or protected by law. Heritage institutions are seen as powerful instruments of nation-building which not only record the history of the nation, but also sustain its legitimacy.
States with colonial empires outside Europe took home with them interesting and valuable objects found in the colonies, and presented them to the heritage institutions of their homeland. In the colonies they built museums, libraries and archives, and protected important indigenous works of architecture.
Cultural heritage institutions such as museums kept pace with the process of globalisation, thanks to the information they disseminated about faraway countries and peoples. In many cases, historical information about the colonies was more accessible in the capitals of the colonial empires than in the colonies themselves.
In selecting the objects, two different standards were applied, one 'classic' and one 'romantic'. According to the classic standard, objects or monuments were selected that were considered a high point of human activity in the arts, science and technology. The emphasis was on tangible objects of high quality, collected on the basis of the European canon of culture. 'Romantic' cultural heritage, on the other hand, was collected mainly on the basis of identity. Objects, behaviours and performances were selected and recorded, as testimonies to human activity in the realm of religion, social structures, trade, art, and popular culture. Tangible objects were considered as important as intangible proofs of customs and traditions. The romantic collection method was applied primarily to non-European countries.
There was considerable interaction between these two concepts of culture. Quality and identity could be reversed, the quality of the objects confirming the nature of the nation or group that produced them. Tangible and intangible specimens of cultural heritage were stored and protected in the same institutions.
Globalisation contributed to the disappearance of the differences between 'classic' and 'romantic' cultural heritage. The UNESCO Convention of 1972 has introduced the concept of 'World Heritage' to protect both cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value for mankind. Though the scope of the World Heritage List is world-wide, the nomination procedure has to be initiated by individual state-parties of UNESCO. In most cases, the choice of the national contribution to the World Heritage List was linked to the most cherished traditions and/or the identity of the country.
With the installation of the UNESCO list of Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Objects in 2001, the romantic view of heritage achieved its ultimate recognition. This new inventory was explicitly established to undo the imbalance between the heritage of the West, consisting largely of tangible objects, and the intangible cultural assets of non-Western countries.
In recent decades the body of cultural heritage has increased at an astonishing pace, as ever more objects and other remnants of the past have been deemed worthy of protection. New kinds of heritage institutions have arisen in the form of theme parks and other organizations featuring replicas or fictitious interpretations of the past. Also the differences between 'nature' and man-made objects have become blurred, since historic parks and polders are now regarded as part of our cultural heritage. No doubt in future the title 'Cultural Landscape' will be bestowed on all kinds of objects, places and environments that are in some way reminiscent of the past. An European convention on Cultural Landscapes has been undersigned.
immigration in to the Netherlands
Since living here i have got the impression that most people think Moroccans and people from other Eastern country's are the largest source of immigrants in to the Netherlands but as you will see from this map (well you need to go to the website to see it work correctly) the largest number of immigrants from 2008 and have been for many years in the past is in fact people coming from Germany and this is something nobody has spoke of in lessons what about German cultural heritage in the Netherlanders.

social security benefits Rotterdam
Dependency rate also high in Rotterdam
The municipalities with the highest proportions of young social security claimants are found in the provinces of Groningen, Drenthe and Limburg. In municipalities with more than one hundred thousand residents, Rotterdam has the highest amount of young social security recipients (3.9 percent). In absolute terms, Rotterdam also tops the list with over 3 thousand young people involved. In Reiderland, for example, 30 young people were living on social security benefits last year.
"In a remarkable essay entitled La Grande Perturbation,
the political scientist Zaki Laidi puts forward the thesis that
globalisation is both "a sociology of planetary
interdependencies" and "a representation of the world; in
other words, it is also a way of being and living in the world".
Developing an imagery of globalisation, he insists on the
immediacy of "global daily life", which implies a "cultural
devaluation of the long duration". He points out that market
ideology rejects "any mediation that might delay direct
access to the consumption of a product or a commodity". He
also recalls that globalisation is "a considerable source of
privatisation of public property", and of knowledge in
particular. Which is where cultural diversity comes in – as
global public property."
I find this paragraph extremely interesting as it really dose pose the question can globalization and cultural diversity co exist side by side?

exhibition on youth culture
Exhibition on youth culture from the south of Rotterdam. it mostly concentrated on hip hop artists and rappers. Is this as large a influence on Rotterdam youth as it makes out? maybe need to look in to other influences and the power they have over the young people?
Your World Rotterdam
Spreken wij wel dezelfde taal?
In de rubriek ‘onafhankelijk en vrij maar niet over de partij’ dit keer de column van Kirsten Verdel. Over Rotterdam als jongerenhoofdstad van Europa 2009 en de organisatie Your World die dit organiseert: ‘Hoe vaak is er niet geopperd dat het zo mooi zou zijn als we de kennis en ervaring van oudere mensen kunnen koppelen aan het enthousiasme en het talent van jongeren? Your World is het gewoon gaan doen.’
‘Het is deze maand precies vier jaar geleden dat er uit PvdA-koker een idee ontstond om eindelijk eens een keer iets positiefs te doen met en voor jongeren die mee willen doen in de maatschappij, in plaats van altijd alleen maar te klagen over wat er allemaal mis gaat en straffen op te leggen voor wangedrag. Het idee, in campagnetijd ontstaan, was om Rotterdam tot Jongerenhoofdstad van Europa te bombarderen. Of Europa überhaupt de titel 'Jongerenhoofdstad' kende, dat was onbekend, maar zo niet: dan moest het er maar komen. Het idee werd omarmd door de Rotterdamse gemeenteraad en uiteindelijk ook door de Europese instanties die er iets officieels van konden maken. In 2009 zou Rotterdam European Youth Capital zijn. De gemeenteraad en diverse sponsoren maakten miljoenen vrij om het project op de rails te zetten.
De organisatie van het Jongerenjaar heet 'Your World'. Ik heb me de afgelopen tijd steeds meer verbaasd over de enorme hoeveelheid activiteiten die Your World in Rotterdam op heeft weten te zetten. Om de haverklap zijn er groot- en kleinschalige evenementen waar jongeren hun talenten kunnen ontplooien. Door jongeren bedachte plannen krijgen ondersteuning van experts en worden (soms met financiële ondersteuning) massaal uitgevoerd. En... proefballonnetjes die politici al jarenlang telkens opnieuw oplaten maar waar nooit iets mee gebeurt, worden nu ineens uitgeprobeerd. Het mooiste voorbeeld daarvan zijn de Dynamic Duo's. Hoe vaak is er niet geopperd dat het zo mooi zou zijn als we de kennis en ervaring van oudere mensen kunnen koppelen aan het enthousiasme en het talent van jongeren? Er wordt dan gesproken over 'mentors' of 'coaches', en complete gemeentelijke taskforces worden ingericht om een (gaap) beleidsplan te ontwikkelen om zoiets mogelijk te maken. Er gebeurt meestal weinig.
Nee, neem dan Your World: die zijn het gewoon gaan doen. Er zijn inmiddels al bijna 1.000 (!) succesvol gecreëerde koppels. Er zijn zelfs al een meerdere bedrijfjes gestart door jongeren met behulp van hun Dynamic Duo Partner. De inktvlekwerking van het project wordt steeds groter. Het enthousiasme van de betrokkenen werkt aanstekelijk: ik heb me ook aangemeld. Je merkt echt in de stad dat er een nieuwe golf van creativiteit en enthousiasme is. Jongeren worden en voelen zich steeds meer betrokken.
Maar let wel: dat kan niet zomaar vertaald worden naar betrokkenheid bij de politiek. Dat de Rotterdamse jongeren zich meer betrokken voelen bij hun stad, betekent niet per se dat ze zich ook betrokken voelen bij de politiek, landelijk of lokaal. Sterker nog, uit zogeheten 'Your Lab'-sessies die met jongeren worden gehouden blijkt dat de jeugd een grote afkeer heeft van de politiek. Ze voelen zich niet serieus genomen, hebben niet het idee dat er naar hen wordt geluisterd. Ze zijn bang dat ze nu de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen eraan komen weer een speelbal worden van politieke belangen en spelletjes in de media. Die afkeer zit echt diep en uit zich vaak in woede of agressie. Tegelijkertijd zit daar ook weer enorm veel energie in, die omgebogen kan worden naar iets positiefs. En dat is natuurlijk precies het doel en de hoop van Your World. Als Rotterdam iets kan leren van het Jongerenjaar, dan is het wel hoe belangrijk het is om met elkaar te communiceren. En ook al heeft Rotterdam 167 nationaliteiten; ik doel nu niet op spreektaal, maar op de taalkloof tussen de generaties. Rotterdamse instanties, politici en organisaties leren nu dat ze moeten vragen: 'Hoe zou jij het doen als je het voor het zeggen had? Wat wil jij?'
Die simpele vraag krijgen jongeren slechts zelden te horen. En dat is een les voor iedereen.’

Jongeren voelen zich ongeacht hun afkomst ‘Amsterdammer’
Islam heeft geen invloed op verbondenheid met Nederland
De religiositeit verschilt sterk onder de Amsterdamse jongeren. Die van Nederlandse afkomst zijn sterk geseculariseerd. De overgrote meerderheid van de jongvolwassenen van Marokkaanse of Turkse afkomst beschouwt zichzelf als moslim, terwijl de helft van de jongvolwassenen van Surinaamse afkomst zichzelf ziet als christen, hindoe of moslim. Zichzelf rekenen tot een religie betekent niet automatisch dat de jongvolwassenen ook daadwerkelijk praktiserend zijn of dat religie een belangrijke plaats inneemt. Hierin zijn grote verschillen. Het belang dat wordt gehecht aan het behoren tot een religieuze groep en de mate van orthodoxie hebben geen invloed op de relatie met Nederland of Amsterdam. Ook strenggelovige jongeren voelen zich thuis in Nederland. Jongeren met een orthodoxe geloofsopvatting en die het belangrijk vinden om tot een religieuze groep te horen voelen zich wel vaker meer Marokkaan of Turk dan Nederlander.
Met de labels die de jongvolwassenen zelf gebruiken benadrukken ze de diversiteit, zij zien zichzelf bijvoorbeeld als Marokkaanse Amsterdammer of als Turkse Nederlander. Deze diversiteit is voor hen belangrijk. Grote containerbegrippen zoals ‘allochtoon' en ‘autochtoon' moeten worden vermeden, concluderen Van der Welle en Mamadouh. Het label allochtoon scheert teveel over één kam en doet zo te kort aan de diversiteit. Bovendien zorgt het label ‘allochtoon' voor associaties met achterstand en problemen.
Rotterdamse allochtone en autochtone jongeren voelen grote culturele afstand
Inleiding
- Tussen allochtone en autochtone jongeren zijn grote verschillen wat betreft de woon- en gezinssituatie. In tegenstelling tot autochtone jongeren wonen Turkse en Marokkaanse jongeren bijna nooit ongehuwd samen of zelfstandig op kamers.
- Jongeren van Turkse en Marokkaanse afkomst in Rotterdam zijn bijna allemaal gelovig. Van de autochtone jongeren is meer dan de helft ongelovig.
- Het aandeel allochtone jongeren dat zegt de regels van het geloof strikt te volgens is gestegen. 42 procent van de ondervraagde Turkse jongeren en 58 procent van de Marokkaanse jongeren stelt dit.
- De meerderheid van de jongeren van Turkse of Marokkaanse afkomst voelt zich in de eerste plaats Turk of Marokkaan, vervolgens Rotterdammer en daarna Nederlander. Bij de autochtone jongeren weegt de nationale identiteit over het algemeen zwaarder dan de ‘Rotterdamse-identiteit’.

Cultural identity / Cultural Heritage
Cultural identity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cultural identity is the identity of a group or culture, or of an individual as far as one is influenced by one's belonging to a group or culture. Cultural identity is similar to and has overlaps with, but is not synonymous with, identity politics.
[edit] Description
There are modern questions of culture that are transferred into questions of identity. Various cultural studies and social theory investigate the question of cultural identity. In recent decades, a new form of identification and with pieces broken off from the individual as a coherent whole subject. Cultural identity remarks upon: place, gender, race, history, nationality, language, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnicity, and aesthetics.
Culture, as a social practice, is not something that individuals possess. Rather, it is a social process in which individuals participate, in the context of changing historical conditions. As a "historical reservoir", culture is an important factor in shaping identity[1] Some critics of cultural identity argue that the preservation of cultural identity, being based upon difference, is a divisive force in society, and that cosmopolitanism gives individuals a greater sense of shared citizenship.[2]. That is not to always be divisive. When considering practical association in international society, states may share an inherent part of their 'make up' that gives common ground, and alternate means of identifying with each other. Examples can be taken from both old and contemporary world order. In the old world order European states shared a high level of cultural homogeneity, due to their common history of "frequently violent relationships, and Greco-Roman cultural origins" (Brown 2001). Brown also argues that the Western invention of the nation-state has proven to be an appealing and homogenising factor to many cultures.[3].
Cultural heritage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cultural heritage ("national heritage" or just "heritage") is the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations. Often though, what is considered cultural heritage by one generation may be rejected by the next generation, only to be revived by a succeeding generation.
Physical or "tangible cultural heritage" includes buildings and historic places, monuments, artifacts, etc., that are considered worthy of preservation for the future. These include objects significant to the archaeology, architecture, science or technology of a specific culture.
"Natural heritage" is also an important part of a culture, encompassing the countryside and natural environment, including flora and fauna, scientifically know as biodiversity. These kind of heritage sites often serve as an important component in a country's tourist industry, attracting many visitors from abroad as well as locally.
The heritage that survives from the past is often unique and irreplaceable, which places the responsibility of preservation on the current generation. Smaller objects such as artworks and other cultural masterpieces are collected in museums and art galleries. Grass roots organizations and political groups have been successful at gaining the necessary support to preserve the heritage of many nations for the future.
Significant was the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage that was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO in 1972. As of 2008, there are 878 World Heritage Sites: 678 cultural, 174 natural, and 26 mixed properties, in 145 countries. Each of these sites is considered important to the international community.
A broader definition includes intangible aspects of a particular culture, often maintained by social customs during a specific period in history. The ways and means of behavior in a society, and the often formal rules for operating in a particular cultural climate. These include social values and traditions, customs and practices, aesthetic and spiritual beliefs, artistic expression, language and other aspects of human activity. The significance of physical artifacts can be interpreted against the backdrop of socioeconomic, political, ethnic, religious and philosophical values of a particular group of people. Naturally, intangible cultural heritage is more difficult to preserve than physical objects.

[edit] The impulse to preserve artifacts
Objects are important to the study of human history because they provide a concrete basis for ideas, and can validate them. Their preservation demonstrates a recognition of the necessity of the past and of the things that tell its story.[1] In The Past is a Foreign Country, David Lowenthal observes that preserved objects also validate memories; and the actuality of the object, as opposed to a reproduction or surrogate, draws people in and gives them a literal way of touching the past. This unfortunately poses a danger as places and things are damaged by the hands of tourists, the light required to display them, and other risks of making an object known and available. The reality of this risk reinforces the fact that all artifacts are in a constant state of chemical transformation, so that what is considered to be preserved is actually changing – it is never as it once was.[2] Similarly changing is the value each generation may place on the past and on the artifacts that link it to the past.
