Let's Culture Together
Co-creating Europe in 24 cities
Pierluigi Vaccaneo and Cristiana Olteanu will present the results of their project after a year of international cooperation through the workshop: Let's Culture Together | How to use literature to activate communities online and offline. The workshop includes Interactive Performance and Video Screening.
With this workshop we want to show how we try to activate communities using literature and new technologies.
We called our project "Let's Culture together" because we used Twitter and Betwyll (the web-based application based on the TwLetteratura method) dinamics - brevity and sharing - to activate communities of people around a cultural content. How the method works: the community chooses a content, establishes a calendar of reading and rewrites it with tweets or twyll, through personal interpretation. The game works with books, but also with other types of "texts": paintings, sculptures, films, operas, territories and stories of trade companies.
The workshop offers a new method to understand books and the places books are related to, using the potential of web communication and of social networks in order to activate a community, to develop an audience through gamification, to stimulate self-conscious use of social media and practice grammar and synthesis.
