Forest relationship workshop
A forest relationship workshop is an opportunity for those who work in the forest industry to take part in confidential discussions about their relationship with the forest in small groups. The aim is to become more aware of the significance of the forest for oneself and, in more general terms, for the industry and Finnish society and culture. The service also helps participants to understand the forest industry, forest culture and their own jobs, and it also allows them to stop for a moment to reflect on the forest from a perspective other than their work.
Target group/the workshop is suitable for:
The service is aimed at groups of 4–6 people who work in the forest industry and have chosen to take part as a team (e.g. colleagues, classmates, team members). The Forest relationship workshop can also serve as a networking tool as it is an opportunity to get to know other people in the industry.
Duration:
The workshop, held either at Lusto or a location chosen by the participants, lasts 4–6 hours.
Reservations and bookings:
At least four weeks in advance: lusto@lusto.fi
Participatory significance analysis for museums
Significance analysis is a collective method for determining the significance and museum value of museum objects and collections in Finnish museums. An inspiring significance analysis workshop helps museums get started with participatory efforts on their own collections. Different objects of analysis can inspire wonderful and surprising approaches to our shared cultural heritage.
The significance analysis workshop consists of a preliminary assignment set by the museum, two days at the workshop, a commentary on the analyses and a planning meeting with the museum staff to discuss how the participatory significance analysis could be introduced to museum activities on a permanent basis.
We will be happy to provide more details and an offer for a workshop package.
