This workshop and second SOLiDi training event explored the conceptual, intellectual and political history of the idea of culture, and its present, both in terms of its uses and misuses. Looking at the relationships between education and culture in light of the question of equality, the workshop explored culture ‘in action,’ through notions of translation, hybridity and practice. Likewise, it engaged with the ethical and political questions concerning the encounter ‘with’ and ‘through’ culture ‘on the ground’ through research. Organised through a photo-voice pedagogical approach, the workshop also aimed to open up possibilities for self-interrogation of one’s own ‘inter-cultural’ location/s. Through 6 workshop sessions extending over a period of three days, the ambition of this training event was to engage the ESRs in a more nuanced and informed ways with issues concerning culture and interculturality in their own projects.
