Europeana highlights: October - December 2021

Every quarter we bring you a round-up of what's been going on across the Europeana Initiative. Highlights from October to December 2021 include a new Chair-elect for the Europeana Foundation, enhanced cultural heritage participation through diverse editorial, events and competitions, and of course, Europeana 2021, our annual conference.

LEADING THE WAY

We’re delighted to welcome Martina Bagnoli as the Europeana Foundation’s new Chair-elect, and no less than 27 new members to the Europeana Network Association’s Members Council. Together, we lead the way in delivering a sustainable digital transformation for the cultural heritage sector. A new tool to support this collaborative work is the Europeana Climate Action Manifesto. 

BRINGING DIGITAL CULTURE TO ALL

Work never stops on improving the Europeana website to help more people explore Europe’s cultural heritage - we shared some recently released features - including a translation feature and ability to browse by individual organisation. Elsewhere, we explored how publishing stories about their collections on the Europeana blog helps organisations bring their content to wider audiences. And a series of interviews discussed how organisations in Europe and beyond are highlighting Black history. 

A FOCUS ON PARTICIPATION

Greater opportunities for participation mean that more people can access, share, play with, contribute to and be enriched by digital culture. We explored this topic in an accompanying event of the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, heard how students are engaging with audiovisual heritage through subtitle-a-thons, and shared the highlights of the annual GIF IT UP creative competition.

EVENTS

November saw our annual conference, Europeana 2021 - Recover, Rebuild, Grow - welcome 60+ speakers in 50 sessions over three days. 1,750 of you registered and we’re delighted by how many actively took part. Elsewhere, we opened applications for the next run of the Digital Education with Cultural Heritage online course - in four languages, and reinstated informal ‘Copyright Office Hours’ sessions.
