The Time Travel method gives space for reflection on contemporary issues, by using local heritage and history. This educational method started in the Kalmar region, Sweden in the mid 1980’s and is now used in more than 20 countries all over the world.
In February 2018 a group of 40 persons from eight countries met at a seminar in Kalmar to explore how the Time Travel method and Applied Heritage can meet today’s challenges: social cohesion, peace building, education, health and environment. It was inevitable to look back on the 35 years of existence, what has been achieved? But the main focus was to look ahead. How can the Time Travel method make a difference in the future, to be in the service of society and its development?
Hopefully these articles from the seminar will give inspiration to use local sites and stories for community building and learning, creating a cohesive society for the future.
