Parallel with this we anchored it internally within the four faculties of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and art. For the "rst two phases each step in the process marked a real progression, and for the planned third we continue this line to reach our primary goal. 2010-2012: Formation phase. Collaboration of four faculties; recruitment of 5 international post-docs to support research environment; reaching out and connecting internally and internationally; organized "rst international conference on Critical Heritage Studies with 500 participants; formation of Association of Critical Heritage Studies based at GU.

  • F&L Way to Explore Gothenburg
    THE F&L WAY TO EXPLORE THE CITY YOU ARE HERE! FOR SUNNY DAYS TRÄDGÅRDSFÖRENINGEN The Garden Society of Gothenburg, Trädgårdsföreningen, is one of the best preserved 19th century parks in Europe. Here you can find thousands of roses, carpet beddings and lush woodlands. The palm house from 1878 houses exotic plants in a Mediterranean climate. For 170 years the Garden Society of Gothenburg has been an oasis of greenery in the heart of Gothenburg, a place to relax and be invigorated. Today it is one of the best-preserved nineteenth-century parks in Europe, where rolling lawns, historic buildings and ornamental gardens featuring exotic and indigenous plants take you back to the golden age of horticulture. The sweeping borders and nineteenth-century atmosphere set the tone. In 1992 the Garden Society of Gothenburg became the first park in Sweden to be given listed building status for its cultural heritage. “Palmhuset” at Trädgårdsföreninen GOTHENBURG BOTANICAL GARDEN Here you'll find around 16,000 species of plants in the different greenhouses and areas like the rock garden and herb garden. The Botanical Garden offers a vast and impressive collection of plants and flowers, and is a great place to visit all year round. With over half a million visitors a year it’s one of the most popular attractions in the region. The admission to the Botanical Gardens is free; the admission to the greenhouses is 20 SEK (Free for under-18s). Download the Botaniska app and go on a guided tour throughout the Botanical Garden. Choose between a walk that takes you through all the essential parts of the garden or go off the beaten path and head out among ferns, moss and viewpoints.

  • We Expand Worlds
    We Expand Worlds A publication by the City of Gothenburg Cultural Affairs Administration, December 2018 Editor: Åsa Nohlström Photography: Lo Birgersson, Frida Winter Text: Marit Larsdotter, Joanna Glad Printing: Stibo We Expand Worlds Culture is a necessary force in an ever-changing world. It is a democratic right that can be thought-provoking and push boundaries. A city where everyone is able to enjoy art and culture is a city that is relevant to people from all over the world. In this publication, we describe how the City of Gothenburg Cultural Affairs Administration’s activities contribute to expanding worlds. Our stages and our different spaces highlight multifaceted stories about our modern age, past times and our future. We provide space for reflection, encounters and discussion. Supporting and safeguarding the independent arts scene and the inherent value of art are vital aspects of our mission. Art and culture should be at the centre of Gothenburg’s development. This is how the city becomes humane. We make it possible to experience our cultural heritage, while also nurturing it for future generations. Knowledge, curiosity about the wider world and receptiveness are the com- mon forces that drive us towards our goal of an open, equal city. Read on, and find out more about some of the people who work with activities that provoke, move and surprise.

  • Winter Activities – When There Is Snow and Ice
    Winter is the coldest season of the year in Sweden as well as in the Northern hemisphere. At the winter solstice, the days are shortest and the nights are longest, with days lengthening as the season progresses after the solstice. Winter in Sweden is defined by meteorologists to be when the average temperature per day is constantly below 0°C. This usually corresponds to the months of December, January and February. An extremely cold winter is called vargavinter (wolfs’ winter). The last vargavinter in Sweden was the winter of 2009/2010. Many animals go into hibernation or lie dormant during the winter e.g. bears and hedgehogs. Migratory birds have flown to the tropical regions. Annual plants survive the winter as seeds. Winter activities – when there is snow and ice Popular winter activities in Sweden are ice hockey, bandy, skiing, skating and go sledding (se picture). You can go sledding in Slottsskogen and at Delsjön in Gothenburg. We have listed information about some winter activities below. Unfortunately most of the links are only in Swedish. (try google translate to get the information in your language) Snowball-fighting, jigging and ice swimming Popular activities during winter are snowball-fighting, jigging (drill a hole through a frozen lake to catch fish) and ice swimming followed by a sauna. You can try this in Gothenburg, see www.askimsbastu.se Skating Public ice-skating on Heden in the city centre of Gothenburg. Fee: SEK 30. If you wish to borrow skates, it costs SEK 30. More information in Swedish e.g. opening hours at www.ispaheden.se Long distance skating In the Gothenburg surroundings, there are excellent opportunities to go long distance skating on natural ice.

Dark heritage is a concept which is synonymous to heritage that hurts, difficult heritage, heritage of atrocity and places of pain or shame (Magee & Gilmore 2015, p 900). Dark heritage sites (DHS) are places and institutions “that stand as legacy to painful periods in history; massacre and genocide sites, places related to former penal institutions, prisoners of war, battlefields and many more.” (Magee & Gilmore 2015, p 899).

  • RIVERCITY GOTHENBURG VISION Welcome to RIVERCITY GOTHENBURG Rivercity Gothenburg Will Be Open to the World
    ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL 11TH OCTOBER 2012 RIVERCITY GOTHENBURG VISION Welcome to RIVERCITY GOTHENBURG RiverCity Gothenburg will be open to the world. It will be inclusive, green and dynamic. It will be designed in a way that connects the whole city, embraces the water and reinforces the regional centre. Success in this endeavor requires openness, collaboration, knowledge development and strong leadership. RiverCity Gothenburg is central Gothenburg along the river. Major areas of our city are waiting to be transformed into a living, attractive inner city. What you have before you is the RiverCity Gothenburg Vision and Strategies document, the result of an extensive consultation and concept process. The process has involved the people of Gothenburg, municipal administration representatives, companies, private industry and academia. Since August 2010, public consultations, expert workshops, exchanges of experience, enquiries and studies have been conducted. Student projects have been developed in collaboration with the secondary schools in Gothenburg, Chalmers University of Technology, the School of Design and Crafts and Harvard University. An international workshop involving 80 leading urban development experts has been held. An exchange of experience with seven other major Nordic urban development projects has taken place. Collaboration and co-ordination have taken place with Gothenburg 2021 as well as Mistra Urban Futures. The public consultation work and international workshop have taken place with the support of the Delegation for Sustainable Cities. During the course of the work, a consensus has emerged about how the city ought to be developed. We should strive towards urban development where we make use of the features offered by the river and the water.
