Intercultural Dynamics workshop cycle: innovation, participation and proximity.

Workshop 1

This workshop represents an analysis of the management of cultural diversity from the field of innovation, based on a biographical study on artists and animators, community development workers and entrepreneurs − three groups of innovators with an intercultural background − creative both in terms of their life experience and their professional practices. The study situates the intercultural actors as links between the social fabric, networks and institutions, analysing their class trajectories, as well as their cultural, social and political capital and the key features for understanding how their identities and life experience have led them to develop innovation mechanisms in the field.

Jude Bloomfield, a researcher on urban cultures, cultural policies and planning and citizen studies, an expert in interculturalism and multiculturalism, translator and poet, will present some of the results of the research project The Intercultural City − Making the Most of Diversity (Comedia/Rowntree), a study on which he collaborated as a researcher and consultant.
