Descrizione del progetto
Pianificare la mobilità attraverso la lente della terza cultura
La terza cultura, ovvero la fusione di diverse esperienze culturali durante gli anni di formazione di un individuo, può innescare un cambiamento verso una mobilità inclusiva e sostenibile. Il progetto MobileWorlds, finanziato da MSCA, indaga come mobilitare le terze culture per integrare la diversità socioculturale nelle istituzioni odierne. Il progetto confronterà le prospettive settentrionali e meridionali in città che condividono una storia di eterogeneità culturale profondamente radicata e risultati rimarchevoli nell’ambito della mobilità inclusiva e sostenibile, offrendo così un’opportunità unica nel suo genere per comprendere più approfonditamente le terze culture e le loro potenzialità. Inoltre, MobileWorlds elaborerà nuovi metodi per coinvolgere e co-creare la comunità, in particolare grazie all’integrazione di metodologie partecipative e artistiche, che verranno messi in pratica nei progetti di pianificazione della mobilità a Bergen (Norvegia) e a Porto (Portogallo).
Obiettivo
The overall goal of MobileWorlds is to explore pathways to better integrate socio-cultural diversity into today's institutions, so they may better deal with contemporary challenges of sustainable mobility and societal inequalities. Such pathways are sought by engaging explicitly with third culture experiences to identify concrete diverse imaginaries and allowing these to feed into equally diverse solutions that can realistically be implemented. Third cultures are unique cultures that emerge from contact with different home and contextual cultures during the formative years of an individual. These third cultures are increasingly common in a globalising world, and may have important repercussions for imaginaries for sustainable and just mobility futures. As such, they provide promising sources for pathways that integrate socio-cultural diversity into today's institutions. Bergen, Norway and Porto, Portugal are known for cultural diversity and advancement in sustainable mobility. Combined, they provide both a Northern and a Southern European perspective and a particularly interesting context within which to research this subject. MobileWorlds delineates four key objectives: (1) To solidify and expand the concept of third cultures, (2) To develop methods and methodologies that encourage artistic engagement of all ages and socio-cultural groups in mobility planning, (3) To engage communities in mobility planning through arts-based events and activities, and (4) To support my future career development through arts-based research and engagement training and expanding academic and artistic networks and experience. The hands-on experience and training will help to accomplish my career goals securing an Assistant Professor position in the field of Mobility Planning or working in public engagement for an NGO promoting sustainable mobility. With such a position I hope to contribute to improve the sustainability and justice of the world through diverse and inclusive approaches.
