Grants:PEG/Exile Museum/ Open Day
Goal
editThe history of exile in islands and other isolated places in Greece during the 20th century is a crucial part of modern Greek history barely researched and unknown to the wider public. The Open Day in the Exile Museum will be successful if it will manage to gather people of all ages, especially youngsters, that are willing to participate in Museum's actions and the research of modern Greek history. Additionally, the historical material will be published in Wikimedia projects, so as everyone will be able to reach these information.
Plan
editActivities
editThe activities that will be offered during the Open Day in Exile Museum in Athens are:
- educational programmes for children and teenagers
- artistic workshops for adults
- interactive guided tours for all age groups
- projection of a relative movie
- interactive activities that will invite anyone that might hold important testimonies from their ancestors in exile to share with public
Impact
editVia the Open Day we aim at raising public awareness regarding exile and commence a productive dialogue for the widespread of this part of history. More specific, the youngsters will familiarise themselves with notions and modern history that they are not taught in formal education curriculum. Moreover, the older generation, the kids of those sent in exile places, will have the opportunity to share their ancestors stories and retrieve these information. Fundamental information for the researchers in order to record modern history.
Target readership
editThe main target group is pupils as they are completely unaware of the issue. The ancestors of the exiles will have the chance to influence the historical testimonies by transferring to the wider public the stories and the memorabilia that have been inherited to them. Additionally, academics will access missing parts of history that they research. Finally, the entire community will directly or indirectly be influenced by the publication of these information.
Fit with strategy
editThe Exile Museum aims at Increasing quality and accessibility to reliable resources. After collecting all the material, the Museum staff will collaborate with academics, in order to edit existing links or create new wherever necessary. Through the Museum's and its associates portals, these Wikimedia projects will be promoted, resulting more people being able to access these information.
Measures of success
editAccording to the initial feedback and the amount and quality of volunteers and staff of the Museum project has already, the criteria of success are:
- 50 edits in Wikipedia in Greek, English, French and Turkish
- 30 edits in Wiktionary in Greek, English, French and Turkish
- 250 photographs and 4 videos in Wikimedia Commons in Greek, English, French and Turkish
All material concern exile, history, Greece, heritage, arts, modern Greek history
Resources and risks
editResources
editThe Open Day is based on human resources; namely the Museum's staff, the academic community, and the volunteers. In addition, technological resources are necessary for editing and processing the material. Financial resources are crucial for the success completion of the project. However, none of these could be accomplished if it was not for the collection of the Exile Museum.
Risks
editDue to the unstable socio-financial situation in Europe in general and in Greece in particular may arose some risks that cannot be foreseen and for which we cannot prepare ourselves.
