No full textTo meet the information needs of subject experts, so-called open-access subject repositories have been established since the early 1990s, which make relevant documents available as a collection. These repositories are still exclusively operated in the “Global North”. Can they meet the global diversity of requirements? How can these platforms be managed with cultural humility? A planned open-access knowledge-sharing platform for the field of international cultural relations forms the grounds for this study. As a result, a recommendation matrix was developed which tackles the most important issues: balancing “Global North” privileges by subtraction instead of just adding diversity, working towards social justice by involving the communities of practice from the very start, setting up a polycentric governance structure based on values defined by the communities, establishing ethics of care and translation processes to mediate different roles and accommodate individual needs, supporting multilingualism, low connectivity environments, interoperability, and experiments, all with a critical stance towards standardisation and rationalisation, planning sustainably for the long term, collaborating and cooperating, doing everything transparently, at a moderate pace, learning humbly and perpetually

How International Student Mobility (ISM) builds trust and long-term relationships around the world
Get PDFThis study commissioned by the British Council investigated the cultural relations dimensions of international student mobility.

The report evidences how the development of language proficiency, intercultural understanding and ties, and global perspectives benefit the individual participating in International Student Mobility but also has wider benefits for institutions, domestic students, business as well as nations
Cultura en seguridad
Get PDFHow can the arts, heritage and cultural sectors contribute to peace and security in an increasingly conflicted world? At the 2022 ICRRA conference, academic approaches and practical projects from around the world showcased the important role that international cultural relations can play in this. This report shares the overarching message of the conference – about the potential for international cultural relations to re-energise delivery of SDG 16 (peace and justice) and to promote a more holistic understanding of peace and security – along with a summary of reflections from the conference around the key concepts of human security and cultural rights. Case studies and quotes by the participants illustrate these points and exemplify how this cultural relations approach to peace and security works on the ground in different settings
Climate displacement
Get PDFThis paper addresses critical issues of policy and practice related to climate displacement response. The discussion focuses on identification of best practices, lessons learned and future projections, as understood from the perspective of forcibly displaced persons. To what extent are international responses to climate displacement adequately informed by the viewpoints of the people concerned? What should their role be in future deliberations on climate displacement? How could international actors (the broad spectrum of donors, foreign policy actors and others) help to ensure inclusive practices in climate displacement response
