212 TEHIC Towards a European Heritage Interpretation Curriculum 7.5.1. Bergsjön – 4000 years at Siriusgatan Audiences’ diversity The main target group is children. The perspective of the child has been in focus all since 2006. The second target group is the community in the vicinity of the heritage site. Positive impact in the community The project has an interesting aspect of linking the local and the global. Here, the local heritage has been seen in a global context and vice versa. A majority of the people living in the suburb where the project has been conducted are born outside Sweden and many have come to Sweden as immigrants and refugees. The project shows that local heritage can play a key role in creating local identity and a sense of place, even if you are born far from the place/context. 3. Heritage values provoke thinking or identity storytelling or media Inclusiveness is in focus. 4. Heritage Interpretation strategies applied: use of the Tore model / use of immersive techniques. TORE Theme The everyday life of children at the heritage site through the millennia is a very clear and a good choice. It enables today’s children in the area to imagine children in other times who did similar things at the same place. The choice of theme is excellent for creating place connection and inclu- siveness. Organized From having only a traditional information sign, today’s interpretation is organized around a permanent ice installation, with an exhibition right next to the archaeological site. Relevant Things make sense to us if we can relate them to something familiar. The interpretation at the site is both meaningful and personal for the target groups and has good chances of making them reflect on their own lives. Enjoyable We estimate that heritage interpretation is engaging for the audience and has the possibility to enable strong experiences at the site.
