The pervasive use of media at current-day festivals thoroughly impacts how these live events are experienced, anticipated, and remembered. This empirical study examined event-goers’ live media practices – taking photos, making videos, and in-the-moment sharing of content on social media platforms – at three large cultural events in the Netherlands. Taking a practice approach (Ahva 2017; Couldry 2004), the author studied online and offline event environments through extensive ethnographic fieldwork: online and offline observations, and interviews with 379 eventgoers. Analysis of this research material shows that through their live media practices eventgoers are continuously involved in mediated memory work (Lohmeier and Pentzold 2014; Van Dijck 2007), a form of live storytelling thatrevolves around how they want to remember the event. The article focuses on the impact of mediated memory work on the live experience in the present. It distinguishes two types of mediatised experience of live events: live as future memory and the experiential live. The author argues that memory is increasingly incorporated into the live experience in the present, so much so that, for many eventgoers, mediated memory-making is crucial to having a full live event experience. The article shows how empirical research in media studies can shed new light on key questions within memory studies.

While live event experiences have become increasingly mediatized, the prevalence of ephemeral content and diverse forms of (semi)private communication in social media platforms have complicated the study of these mediatized experiences as an outsider. This article proposes an ethnographic approach to studying mediatized event experiences from the inside, carrying out participatory fieldwork in online and offline festival environments. I argue that this approach both stimulates ethical research behavior and provides unique insights into mediatized practices. To develop this argument, I apply the proposed methodology to examine how festival-goers perceive differences between public and private, permanent and ephemeral when sharing their live event experiences through social media platforms. Drawing on a substantial dataset containing online and offline participant observations, media diaries, and (short in situ and longer in-depth) interviews with 379 event-goers, this article demonstrates the value of an ethnographic approach for creating thick descriptions of mediatized behavior in digital platforms.

The pressure on the European health care system is increasing considerably: more elderly people and patients with chronic diseases in need of (rehabilitation) care, a diminishing work force and health care costs continuing to rise. Several measures to counteract this are proposed, such as reduction of the length of stay in hospitals or rehabilitation centres by improving interprofessional and person-centred collaboration between health and social care professionals. Although there is a lot of attention for interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP), the consortium senses a gap between competence levels of future professionals and the levels needed in rehabilitation practice. Therefore, the transfer from tertiary education to practice concerning IPECP in rehabilitation is the central theme of the project. Regional bonds between higher education institutions and rehabilitation centres will be strengthened in order to align IPECP. On the one hand we deliver a set of basic and advanced modules on functioning according to the WHO’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and a set of (assessment) tools on interprofessional skills training. Also, applications of this theory in promising approaches, both in education and in rehabilitation practice, are regionally being piloted and adapted for use in other regions. Field visits by professionals from practice to exchange experiences is included in this work package. We aim to deliver a range of learning materials, from modules on theory to guidelines on how to set up and run a student-run interprofessional learning ward in a rehabilitation centre. All tested outputs will be published on the INPRO-website and made available to be implemented in the core curricula in tertiary education and for lifelong learning in health care practice. This will ultimately contribute to improve functioning and health outcomes and quality of life of patients in rehabilitation centres and beyond.
In de lerarenopleiding wordt aandacht besteed aan het ontwikkelen van pedagogisch handelen waarbij aangesloten wordt bij de ‘bekwaamheidseisen voor leraren basisonderwijs’. Het gaat dan om de ontwikkeling van pedagogische kennis en kunde en het stimuleren van bewustwording van het eigen handelen. Het expliciteren van het pedagogisch handelen van leraren is vaak nog lastig en blijft impliciet. Aanstaande leraren lijken zich wel bewust van het belang van hun pedagogische opdracht, maar kunnen hun pedagogisch handelen soms lastig verwoorden, onderbouwen of expliciteren. Zo ook bij het creëren van een oefenplaats voor burgerschapsvorming. Het ontbreekt hen aan taal om situaties te herkennen en hun pedagogisch handelen te duiden, terwijl ze er wel degelijk vorm aan geven. Dit onderzoeksproject heeft als doel om (aanstaande) leraren te ondersteunen bij het expliciteren van hun pedagogische opdracht bij het creëren van een oefenplaats voor burgerschapsvorming. Met behulp van de centrale vraag: “Op welke wijze kunnen alledaagse ervaringen – gericht op pedagogisch handelen bij het creëren van een oefenplaats voor burgerschapsvorming – benut worden om het handelen van (aanstaande) leraren te verstevigen?” wil de postdoc inzicht creëren in: - de manieren om alledaagse pedagogische ervaringen tot uitdrukking te brengen; en - de manier waarop deze ervaringen gebruikt kunnen worden om (aanstaande) leraren te ondersteunen bij de bewustwording van hun pedagogisch handelen en het zodoende te verstevigen. Het startpunt voor bewustwording is het expliciteren van alledaagse pedagogische ervaringen, zogenaamde lived experiences. Deze zijn de basis voor reflectie, dialoog met anderen en daarmee bewustwording. Het delen van verhalen over praktijkervaringen wordt gezien als een belangrijk startpunt bij het ontwikkelen van pedagogisch handelen . Bovenstaande sluit aan bij het instellingsplan 2017-2022 genaamd ‘Le(ra)ren met Lef’ en het onderzoeksprofiel van het onderzoekscentrum. De hbo-postdoc besteedt 50% van haar tijd aan onderzoek, de andere 50% wordt besteed aan het geven van onderwijs.
The AR in Staged Entertainment project focuses on utilizing immersive technologies to strengthen performances and create resiliency in live events. In this project The Experiencelab at BUas explores this by comparing live as well as pre-recorded events that utilize Augmented Reality technology to provide an added layer to the experience of the user. Experiences will be measured among others through observational measurements using biometrics. This projects runs in the Experience lab of BUas with partners The Effenaar and 4DR Studio and is connected to the networks and goals related to Chronosphere, Digireal and Makerspace. Project is powered by Fieldlab Events (PPS / ClickNL)..
