Cymunedau Cysylltiedig 2: Researching the Industrial and Post-Industrial Heritage of the Swansea Valley

这个多合作伙伴，双语社区遗产项目的重点是工业和后工业社区在斯旺西山谷的历史。该地区拥有非常丰富而复杂的工业-城市-环境遗产，对这一遗产的研究有助于更好地理解其独特的历史和文化背景如何继续塑造该地区居民的身份、地方感和生活质量，该地区16.8%的人口说威尔士语。该项目的第二阶段旨在巩固和扩大斯旺西大学艺术和人文研究人员与广泛的社区团体之间的合作。第一阶段合作发展了多个社区文物研究项目，其中七个项目获得了文物彩票基金“我们的故事”计划的资助。因此，在第二阶段，我们希望通过研究、生产和交付阶段来支持这些项目。通过这样做，研究小组旨在加强项目，最大限度地提高研究的影响，并通过提供新的或额外形式的集体产出来增加价值，最显著的是项目展览。与此同时，我们将继续支持其他寻求发展社区遗产项目的团体。为了实现这些目标，研究小组将与斯旺西大学的档案，媒体和IT服务，成人继续教育和塔里埃森艺术中心的部门，以及五个外部合作伙伴密切合作，提供有针对性的研究支持，和培训计划，以加强产出的开发和交付，特别是那些数字类型。该项目的外部合作伙伴是斯旺西的国家海滨博物馆；西格拉摩根档案馆；斯旺西市、县图书馆服务工作研究格拉摩根-格温特考古信托基金；许多不同的团体将从该项目中受益。首先，致力于“我们所有的故事”项目的社区团体将受益于有针对性的支持和研究的合作生产。这一过程将大大提高整个区域社区团体的知识和技能，并将为他们创造和提供项目产出增加价值。其他社区团体在开发新的合作研究项目时也将受益于与研究团队的接触。社区团体研究成果的最终传播将通过加强对集体和个人历史的理解，使斯旺西和西南威尔士更广泛的公众受益。这一转变将使人们更好地了解该地区的遗产和身份，以及它在地方、国家和全球背景下的位置感。项目合作伙伴将从这个合作项目中受益，因为通过与高等教育学院和非高等教育学院的研究人员进行创造性的接触。在第一阶段的基础上，该项目将继续扩大获得合作伙伴资源的机会，并将有助于促进更多地利用其设施、知识和技能。参与项目的研究生将直接从项目中受益，因为这将为他们提供合作项目的实际经验，使他们能够识别、发展和学习新的可转移技能，例如自我意识、主动性、团队合作、行动计划、领导能力、沟通、网络、解决问题、灵活性等。这些可转换的技能对学生未来的职业生涯至关重要。

This multi-partner, bi-lingual community heritage project is focused on the history of industrial and post industrial communities in the Swansea Valley. The region has a remarkably rich yet complex industrial-urban-environmental heritage, and research into this informs a better understanding of how its unique historical and cultural context continues to shape the identity, sense of place, and quality of life of the people who live in an area, where 16.8 percent of the population speaks Welsh.This second phase of the project aims to consolidate and extend collaborations between arts and humanities researchers at Swansea University and a wide range of community groups. Phase one saw the co-development of a number of Research in Community Heritage Projects, and seven of these have received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund's 'All our Stories' Programme. As a result, in Phase Two we wish to support these projects through the stages of research production and delivery. By doing this the research group aims to enhance the projects, maximise the impact of the research, and add value by delivering new or additional forms of collective output, most notably a project exhibition. At the same time we will continue to support other groups that are seeking to develop community heritage projects. In order to achieve these objectives, the research group will work closely with Swansea University's archives, media and IT services, Department of Adult Continuing Education and Taliesin Arts Centre, as well as five external partners, to provide targeted research support, and a programme of training to enhance the development and delivery of outputs, especially those of a digital type. The project' s external partners are The National Waterfront Museum, Swansea; West Glamorgan Archives Service; The Libraries Service of City and County of Swansea; Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust; and Glynn Vivian Art GalleryA number of different groups will derive benefit from the project.First and foremost, the community groups working on 'All Our Stories' projects will benefit from targeted support and the co-production of research. This process with greatly enhance the knowledge and skills of community groups across the region, and it will add value to their creation and delivery of project outputs.Other community groups will benefit from the engagement with the research team as they develop new collaborative research projects.The eventual dissemination of community group research findings will benefit the wider public in Swansea and south-west Wales by enhancing understanding of collective and individual histories. This turn will inform a better understanding of the region's heritage and identity, as well as its sense of place within local, national, and global contexts.The project partners will benefit from this collaborative project because through creative engagement with both HEI and non-HEI researchers. Building on Phase 1, the project will continue to widen access to the partners' resources and will help to facilitate the increased use of their facilities, knowledge, and skills.Postgraduate students involved in the project as project champions offering support to the community groups will directly benefit from the project because it will give them real-world experiences of collaborative projects and enable them to identify, develop and also learn new transferable skills, for example - self-awareness, initiative, teamwork, action planning, leadership, communication, networking, problem solving, flexibility, etc. These transferable skills will be essential for students in their future careers.
