DESCRIPTION

DIAMOND is a two year European project ( 2012 - 2014) co - funded by the EU Commission within the LLP programme - GRUNDTVIG adult education. It aims at implementing pilot activities within scientific museums addressed to socially disadvantaged adults, using also ICT and focussing on the issue of impact measurement and evaluation. To promote a greater appreciation of the role of scientific museums as a tool to engage adults and promote learning opportunities and social inclusion for disadvantaged groups. Workplan: Research into the personal and social benefits to marginalised people of engaging with scientific museums and analyse museum education activities addressed to marginalised people and identify effective practice; Training in the use of ICT, with particular reference to Digital Storytelling (DS) as an effective method of engagement and involvement in museum activities addressed to museums professionals and to professionals operating in the social sector; Piloting of joint planning of museum education initiatives for adult people of different backgrounds; Identify tools and methodologies to evaluate the social impact of museum activities; Dissemination and Exploitation, in particular Handbook in 4 languages and a Grundtvig training course addressed to 20 museum professionals/social workers. The project organizes cultural encounters and experiences "for and with" citizens who normally are "non-public" audiences of museums and who don't visit museums (any museum) due to physical distance, to the lack of museums in their areas, or to lack of cultural interests. Engaging adults in lifelong learning activities and enhancing the role of adult education is a priority for the European Union. This project aims at developing and testing different outreaching strategies to teach adults. The countries involved in the partnership have a low participation of adults in lifelong learning (according to Eurostat data, in 2010 the proportion of the population between 24 and 65 who participated in lifelong learning activities was 6.2% in Italy, 10.8% in Spain and 1.3% in Romania). This is why, beside the formal adult educational pathway, museums have a central role in attracting adults in informal educational activities. By evaluating the impact through the digital storytelling method (DS), we are able to appreciate the impact through a qualitative perspective. The partnership recognises the importance of social sustainability and the need to engender institutional change that will support working with marginalised adult into the future ECCOM (IT) project leader, Museo Civico di zoologia di Roma (IT), Melting Pro (ITA) "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History Bucarest, (RO), "Ion Borcea" Natural Sciences Museum Complex (RO), Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Valencia (ES).

• INVITATION: museum professionals/workers brought outside meaningful specimens from the museum collection , in order to start a dialogue, stimulate curiosity and communicate the message/idea of a Museum open to everybody;

• VISIT: the itinerary of the first visits within the Museum could be freely chosen by participants; workshops/lab activities took place, in order to analyze in depth the museum environment;

• RESTITUTION: storytelling was part of that. This phase involved directly the participants, stimulating their creativity, encouraging exchange of knowledge and ideas .
