Are you ever concerned that your influence is having a negative impact on the output created with/by the cultural groups you work with?

I ask this in reference to the projects you run that seem to function to combine a number of cultural activities into large, widely "palatable" events.

*Q2. Why do you use "country of birth" as a framework for measuring diversity rather than race?
Do you think this erases the diversity represented by Indigenous Australians or African Americans, for example?

You mentioned how the people of the Pilbara indigenous communities had previously had avoided the beach where a massacre had happened, but your festival event there still managed to attract them through incorporating performances in the local languages. What did you learn from this experience about providing cultural activities for and working with communities living with intergenerational trauma?]]> 2018-05-07 09:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Grincheva/Lecture_5/wish/258444204 Jean Hair jeanhairunimelb https://padlet.com/Grincheva/Lecture_5/wish/258444500 1. How did you decide upon Tanzania and Pakistan as the first two sites to start the Living Cultures program? You mentioned about the diminishing Australian aboriginal languages - did you consider starting the Living Cultures program within Australia as a priority? What were the biggest challenges of this program?  

2. There is often a danger of exoticizing a particular culture through kitschy presentation and stereotypical tropes, especially traditional and rural forms, to heighten its appeal to the masses. How do you overcome this? 

3. Measuring cultural diversity: while the findings from the index are fun facts to know, I am curious about the actual uses for these findings. How can one apply these findings thoughtfully? How does one attempt to "increase cultural diversity" in one's workplace or a particular community while maintaining a sense of meritocracy? ]]> 2018-05-07 09:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/Grincheva/Lecture_5/wish/258444500 XIAOTONG XU XIAOTONGXU https://padlet.com/Grincheva/Lecture_5/wish/258444799 How do you understand the popular topic: cultural different ?

Well, I notice that you have brought some positive effects to some countries whose economic development is not very good. In some regions in these countries, the quality of people’s life is so low that they spend lots of time working for living, which left little space for arts and culture as well as education.

Very briefly.. the participants say that they are benefitting by better physical health to avoid diseases.. reduces stress by keeping busy.. potential to earn an income through performing for tourists.
Some of the problems we have faced is that women are often restricted in their involvment after marriage or when they get a job and are too busy.

It is quite exciting to see that many of large-scale and diverse cultural organizations and programs set up to enhance the connections among different regions and cultural units, while one issue might be taken into the consideration, there must exists a bunch of organizations whose functions or operation ideas overlapped or even repeated, so what is your opinion about how to deal with the issue of integrating those overmuch resources and practically reduce waste in any perspective? ]]> 2018-05-07 09:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Grincheva/Lecture_5/wish/258446965 Rosemary Howarth howarthrosemary https://padlet.com/Grincheva/Lecture_5/wish/258447022 Thank you for such an engaging lecture.
