Borders in the Mind is a project in the ambit of adult education which promotes the values of being a host and creates opportunities to explore and share the cultural heritage of neighbourhoods. The project was conceived and begun in pre COVID 19 situations with unprecedented mobility within Europe and a hunger to discover the previously unknown sides to cities and towns. Our objectives were to develop clear guidance for communities and organisations on how to create Discovery Events to give guests a genuine experience of the neighbourhood. We promote an inclusive understanding of cultural heritage, embracing both traditional and contemporary expressions, formal and informal.We began our work behind schedule as we had been on the waiting list and as soon as we were given funding, requested and were granted an extension, not as much as requested but we were happy to get to work. Actually most partners did not think the project would move from reserve list to funded and had made their yearly plans without factoring in BiM. The good will and commitment which has characterized this partnership from the outset allowed us to negotiate an accelerated start with a start up meeting, the joint staff training event and three further partnership meetings within the space of nine months. We completed work on our IO1 and IO2 and were well advanced with IO3 when the pandemic hit with its devastating consequences. We requested and were granted extensions to the project in the hope that we could once again bring our project to life and complete as much as possible.During lockdown and subsequent restrictions, partners met on a regular basis to discuss possible digital innovations and keep the spirit of the project alive. Digital meetings are minuted and worked to agenda. A fully digital version of Discovery was proposed where interacting with the public was reduced to the minimum and pre-recorded content could replace live interactions with stakeholders. Once travel restrictions began to ease the partnership decided to try to complete the project with one final mobility in Nicosia, Cyprus. We decided on Cyprus for the symbolic significance of its physical border. All partners agreed to finish their work on IO3 before travel.In our final meeting we plotted the pathway towards this report, finishing all work on time to upload to our website: www.borderinmind.euAll products of the project are stored there, you will find:Our main product, a series of “discovery events“, designed by participating adults to present to visitors from different neighbourhoods, cultures and countries.The process develops skills and self-confidence, enables and supports engagement in adult learning and training, encourages European identity, active citizenship and promotes entrepreneurship.To achieve these objectives we used interactive methodologies, collecting information from stakeholders to undertake audits mapping cultural heritage, social services, political boundaries and attitudes.We used this material to create innovative and entertaining discovery welcome events to the neighbourhoods and cultures of our project partners.Each partner contributed at least two Discovery Events documented in English and host languageWe also produced the following in English and project partner languages– A template for community based learning projects– Audits of the objective and subjective borders defining communities– Templates for “discovery events“ for neighbourhoods or institutions– A practical handbook describing methodology activities opportunities motivation and results– A training course for teachers with innovative methods materials and motivationIn addition we created and distributed a newsletter to coincide with each of our mobilities.We created a ‘digital calling card’, a multimedia short presentation of the project to be sent in advance of meetings or after when stakeholders request further information. This works as a tool in support of our dissemination strategy.All partners have worked to plan in dissemination of the project and its outcome with local, regional, national and international stakeholders. Many of the expected stakeholder and partner benefits from running Discovery Events have been put on hold because COVID restrictions do not allow groups to circulate freely and go into shops and businesses as was designed in IO3.However, the products and relationships are in place and once we can circulate freely the neighbourhood Discoveries will resume. The strong bond between partners encourages us to build future projects and build on the experiences of BiM.
