My project is focusing on two different perspectives of learning:

1) How a group of fishermen in the northern Jutland over the past four years have changed their attitude to the everyday life during a struggle for their rights to the fish. To understand why this has happened and how they have been doing it, the intriguing interplay between European governments and a whole set of life-modes struggling for mutual recognition must be explored, including EU politicians, civil servants in the ministries, workers’ unions, private capital investors, regional authorities, environmental organisations, and self-employed fishing families. A new law introducing a forced legal process of maritime enclosure marks a turning point in the struggle. In this regard my project tries to understand the concept of a “learning culture” as depending on the concept of the struggle for mutual recognition.

2) How a nearby museum can communicate the perspectives and the history of this struggle to an audience. How do the museum reach out to the audience? What kind of activities, artifacts, techniques, materials etc. will be the most suitable to tell the story of the local fishermen to the rest of the nation? In this regard the concept of learning is depending on the concept of learning goals, referring to discussions of the concept of didactics.
