218 TEHIC Towards a European Heritage Interpretation Curriculum 7.5.2. Forsviks factory 3. Heritage values provoke thinking or identity storytelling or media The heritage of the area hinges upon industry. Besides the current buildings and other tangible assets being displayed, Forsviks bruk highlights stories about workplace hierar - chy and the working environment. This includes hierarchies between workers and patrons, but also between different workforces. The systematic use of child labour as well as workers living conditions are explained to children and families, giving perspectives on children’s and women’s rights. 4. Heritage Interpretation strategies applied: use of the Tore model / use of immersive techniques An example of a theme: Children at Forsvik. School kids are presented with facts about child labour and living conditions of the past. Guides use food, colouring, musical instruments, and games to make history come alive. For example: A guide draws a 10 sqm area on the ground, making ten kids stand in that area. This is the living space for an average family of ten kids in the 19 th century. Discussion come up on what you need in a room, sleeping conditions, sibling rivalry, and homework stations (which leads to discussions about rights to education, and today´s technologies like computers). Other examples include playing games which were popular a hundred years ago such as stilts and various forms of hide-and-seek games. Assessment Only direct assessment is implemented by direct communication with visitors, who also often send emails to thank the guides or to give further suggestions. 5. Innovative, research and creative elements used BeCULTOUR (BEyond CULtural TOURism) is a Horizon 2020 project focusing on industrial heritage destinations, where Forsvik is used as a case study.
