Music Drivers is a module that combines laboratory didactics, music history and promotion of local economic development, designed for secondary school students but adaptable to different educational needs. The module is divided into three phases, the first dedicated to music history research and the others to its practical implementation. The aim of the module is to develop and design a musical tourist guide for the town of Lanciano, whose tradition is rich in music-historical events and important personalities, in a completely digital format that can be used on the move. Broadly inspired by the ‘research-action’ methodology, the module has established strong links with the objectives of Agenda 2030 and those of the National Curriculum Guidelines, and is therefore presented as a proposal to broaden the educational offer both in school and extra-curricular settings.

The tourist image of modern Vyborg consists of various layers of the city's history – Swedish, Finnish and Soviet. The most attractive for tourists are few “medieval” objects of Vyborg, the main of which is the castle. To increase the tourist attractiveness of the place, local historians and tour guides deal with Vyborg monuments and historical sources, as well as construct the “medieval” Vyborg, using popular representations of the Middle Ages. Based on the in-depth interview method and on online survey, the article analyzes the perception of Vyborg by its inhabitants and the practices by which local historians and guides create the medieval image of the city. Such practices include theatrical excursions, quests, composing legends, etc. In addition, the authors take into account an alternative approach of the local history community, – deconstruction and problematization of the medieval past of Vyborg due to the lack of written and material sources on this period.

The Messianic model of prayer uttered on the Mount of Olives, which has become a standard for the entire treasury of the later church, is our interdisciplinary research today. Given that it was uttered by Jesus Christ himself, it becomes relevant to any believer who wants his daily life to be in continual communion with God. In the liturgical richness of the Christian church of all times, the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) is an integral part of any time of the day, morning, noon, or evening, because it represents the quintessence of the key words that every Christian visionary must have in his vocabulary. daily. In the following I have prepared research meant to attract the musician or theologian, or the contemporary scientist in the pragmatization of the manipulative requests contained in this grandiose prayer. Thus, we combined theological research with musicological research in an exceptional composition from the old Romanian space. In the history of the local culture and civilization, famous names have remained that have shaped the Romanian academic space from all times. One of these names of scientific relevance was Ciprian Porumbescu. Endowed natively with hard work, he succeeds and confirms over time his passage through time. A plurivalent musician, but also a poet and essayist, he manages to imprint in the history of the second half of the 19th century a unique perspective on the religious and folkloric and patriotic treasure of Bucovina. All this treasure is haloed by its vast improvement in Chernivtsi and Vienna, inscribing itself in the memory of the musical times of the end of the 19th century both far from the native places and especially capitalizing on them with their whole load of centuries in a vision. unique, complex, representative musician of Romanian choral music.

El caserío, entendido como un paisaje formado por unidades domésticas autónomas distribuidas de manera dispersa, constituye el principal modelo de ocupación del espacio rural en la vertiente atlántica del País Vasco. En las últimas décadas, el estudio arqueológico de muchos caseríos ha permitido definir series tipo-cronológicas de gran detalle para este tipo de edificios. El presente trabajo propone abordar el estudio de los paisajes culturales articulados por el caserío, integrando el estudio de las trazas materiales de los usos agrarios del pasado, como el acondicionamiento de espacios productivos específicos o determinadas prácticas de gestión, con la evolución de las formas arquitectónicas. El análisis se centra en el ejemplo de Zizurkil (Gipuzkoa). Junto con la recopilación de fuentes documentales y orales y el estudio de los elementos arquitectónicos, se ha implementado una metodología geoarqueológica basada en el análisis de diversos parámetros físico-químicos de los suelos de cultivo, con el fin de establecer estratigrafías de alta resolución. Los resultados obtenidos permiten distinguir tres fases en la evolución de este paisaje: un momento de (re)configuración de su estructura básica en los siglos XIV-XIV; una importante intensificación en los siglos XVII-XIX, de la mano de la revolución agraria que siguió a la introducción de cultivos americanos; y una rápida degradación desde mediados del siglo XX. ABSTRACT: The Atlantic sector of the Basque Country is characterised by a particular settlement pattern known as baserria, consisting of dispersed, individual farmsteads with autonomous landholdings. Over the last few decades, the architecture of these farmsteads has been studied from an archaeological point of view, resulting in detailed typo-chronological series on the evolution of aspects like constructive materials and techniques or the functional division of the domestic and productive spaces. In this paper, we propose widening this analytical framework by adopting a landscape-based approach that considers not only the architecture of domestic units, but also the material traces of past social practices in the surrounding agricultural areas (e.g., the creation of specific productive spaces or the imprints of specific management practices, like manuring or liming). To this scope, we propose an intensive local study based on the village of Zizurkil (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country). We have applied a transdisciplinary methodology based on the combined analysis of documentary and oral sources, architectural features present in the local landscape, and geoarchaeological core sampling. Sampled soil records have been analysed using different physical and chemical proxies (XRD, XRF, and LOI, along with radiocarbon dating) to define a high-resolution stratigraphic characterisation. Our results show three main phases in the evolution of the local rural landscape: 1) a moment of (re)configuration that originated the backbone of the ‘traditional’ landscape between the 14th and 16th centuries; 2) a significant intensification linked to the introduction of American crops, such as maize, between the 17th-19th centuries; and 3) a rapid degradation since the mid-20th century.

The international and interdisciplinary study of the construction and history of the Saint Martin Church (The church and fortifications of Motig/Mortesdorf municipality of Valea Viilor, district of Sibiu - History of construction and use from the Middle Ages to the present, by Günther Buchinger and Doris Schön), provides new insights into the local history, the dating of construction, and the classification of the monument. Focusing on these results on the Romanesque parish church in a small village, some historical aspects are taken into account, concerning the patronage and the medieval church administration along with new syntheses of archaeological and social-historical facts within the period, in order to frame the typologie of the church in a regional context. In this respect, the article include some scientifically results about the historical development in Transylvania into the topic, avoiding the inaccuracy of the previous stylistic catalogues and the precarity of information about construction typologies in the period. Following, a list of 55 churches in Alba, Brasov, Cluj, Harghita, Mures and Sibiu will be prepared not only through bibliographic research but also by on-site survey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The studying of national history is important for building and affirming the identity of a country, people and society, but also the study of local history is important for the construction and promotion of the local identity and identity of the local community.In the historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina we will not find many high-quality works that explain topics of local history of our country's cities and towns. In particular, this refers to the study of the topics of the small local communities, and those that were not or are not now the home of several large administrative territorial units or just for some reason were not interested in a certain period of development of our historiography.The aim of this paper is to point out the situation and perspectives of the study of local history in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a special focus on local history research of Lukavac municipality. Analyzing the results of recent research, we can conclude that very little has been done to improve the study of the local history of this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.However, since the end of 2014, the above mentioned issues are more actively studied, historical sources are frequently consulted, and the scientific method results in historical exposures. A decisive step towards a more comprehensive and quality study of the past of Lukavac municipality was made by organizing the scientific conference “Cultural, historical and natural heritage of Lukavac municipality”, and by publishing the work of the same title in 2016. Since then, the focus has been on the study of Lukavac's past and enriching the historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the topics of this part of local history.

The author argues for a plurality of approaches to presenting and remembering the history of the Volkshochschulen -- and other large adult education institutions -- in light of their present structural framework, instead of merely taking a traditional look from a historical perspective. Accordingly, events and projects -- without predetermined outcome -- which are integrated into the normal program of the institutions seem suitable modern formats for remembering the history of the Volkshochschulen.

The 1941 census is an important source for studying the history of the settlements from the present-time districts of Soldanesti and Rezina in the Republic of Moldova. In 1941, those localities were part of Bessarabia’s Orhei County. The materials of that census are stored at the National Archives of the Republic of Moldova, the fund No 2069, inventory 1, part 1, file 450-a. Villages Census 1941 – this is the title of the questionnaire used to collect data. The census was conducted under the auspices of the Central Institute of Statistics subordinate to the Council of Ministers of Romania. The census questionnaire contained 28 sections, each containing questions aimed to clarify the status of settlements in terms of administrative, social, economic, ethnographic, cultural, medical and religious aspects. Many questions pertained to the duration and continuity of the population’s residing in villages listed in the census and villages’ foundation years, to description of rural settlements, permanent and temporary dwellings. Also, the census results show some elements of relations between Romanians and Roma people. The 1941 census is the most significant and representative component of local history, substantially enriching the sources of this domain of research.

This paper presents a documentary research of the history of establishment of Săseni village in Orhei County, which was formed in the second stage of the population of Moldova, during 15th-18th centuries. According to the documents, the first owner of the village was mentioned in the charter of Stephen II of March 6, 1443 as “pan Ivan Boldur”, who sold this place to “God-loving pan Mihul the scribe”. In the 16th century the settlement came into the possession of State Treasurer Mire Călugărul, the progenitor of the family of Bulat and a ktitor of the Hîrjauca Monastery. This article also presents the place, the specifics of the village in the administrative apparatus of Ţara Moldovei, its demographics and socio-economic development.

The article deals with the issue of forced eviction of the German-speaking population in two cities – in Chomutov (Komotau) and Brno (Brünn). The authors analyse the negotiation of the problematic/conflicted history in the two selected cities after 1989 within the framework of exploration of a culture of remembrance as a collective term for the entirety of the non-scientific dealing with history in communities. The strategies of different actors in these cities and towns are examined, as well as narratives that are transported in official publications and at official events. By comparing Komotau and Brünn, the article shows parallels and differences in dealing with this topic and thus contributes to a better understanding of remembrance culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since 2005 numerous initiatives have been established throughout Germany which study the significance and impact of colonialism locally. From an early stage the focus on »colonialism at home« was influenced by political and civil rights objectives. Today, the location of colonialism at a regional level has also reached parts of academia, because colonial discourse, colonial mentalities and practices of the actual colonial period, of the Weimar Republic and of NS-Germany as well as their significance and impact can best be studied locally. This article focuses on three leading questions with regard to local studies of colonialisms: What are the civil and political goals and objectives? Does the local study of colonialism lead to a new understanding of colonialism in academia? Do the different initiatives actually reach the »general public« and what is the »general public's« attitude towards these initiatives? Trying to answer these questions, it becomes evident that there are conflicting priorities, and attitudes concerning political and civic goals on the one hand and the perception of colonialism and its consequences by the »general public« on the other hand.
