213 7.5.1. Bergsjön – 4000 years at Siriusgatan Use of evaluation techniques Evaluation of the project has been made by master students at the University of Gothenburg. 5. Innovative, research and creative elements used The project shows a high degree of innovation and creativity. Through the years of the project, local pupils have, among other things, been able to create art with a connection to the place that has also been exhibited there. The interpretation that the visitor takes part in today includes objects on display, replicas of what can be found in megalithic tombs, children’s stories, and pictures in a time span of 4000 years, and stories and drawings about what it is like to be a child there today. In terms of research, the project is built with heritage interpretation as a starting point, as well as theories from cultural her- itage research and community archaeology. Why this activity should be considered a Heritage Interpretation Good Practice? We think this is a good practise because it shows how theoretical concerns linked to inclusion, senseof placeandheritagecanbeput intopractise, usingheritage interpretation. Also, it shows that this long-time engagement has led to success in another way than many “moon landing projects”. www.gu.se Researcher Anita Synnestvedt, project leader for the HI project.
