Title: Comparing Cultural Landscapes. Approaches to GLAM Projects in Argentina & Germany
Speaker: Rainer Halama - Wuselig, Juan - BugWarp
Abstract: This presentation explores the differences in carrying out GLAM projects in Argentina and Germany. The comparison focuses on the approaches, challenges, and opportunities faced by the volunteers and staff on their respective countries in preserving and promoting their cultural heritage. By analyzing the distinct cultural landscapes, this presentation sheds light on the diverse strategies employed by GLAM institutions to address the unique needs of their communities.

The presentation takes a comparative approach to examine the diverse strategies, challenges, and opportunities that volunteers and staff from both communities have faced while carrying out the same objective of preserving and promoting their cultural heritage. From an outsider's point of view, the work and final results may seem similar However, the differences between the two become more striking when viewed from the inside. The internal workings of GLAM institutions in each country are shaped by unique historical, cultural, and institutional factors that impact their approach to preserving and promoting cultural heritage. These differences can manifest in diverse strategies, priorities, and outcomes, which demonstrate the crucial role of internal contexts in shaping GLAM projects.
