Committees, constitutions and commissions may hold Europe together as a political project, but it is people that hold it together as a cultural entity. This project will look at the aspirations of geographical Europe’s youngest generation, focusing particular on the way they make and exchange new-media with one another.

• English in the Developing World In developmental contexts, we need to understand the tensions between the old models of power that saw  the imposition of English, the emerging dynamics created by globalisation and the complex factors that constitute people's choices.  This requires understanding the full implications of English provision across political, economic
  and socio-cultural spheres.  This project sets out to understand, and explore fully these complex relationships and identify the full potential  of the language in development. Researchers: Jamie Bartlett Peter Bradwell 3 BlogPosts 2 Bookmarks 11 Themes
• Cultural Literacy Our identities comprise different senses of belonging to different groups at different times.  These are the cultures of which we are all a part, and our world is one of many cultures.  The problem is that there is a real lack in our skills to read other cultures.  One result is that our newspapers, media and websites carry numeorus stories about hostility between people, breeding a cycle of fear, insecurity and ultimately violence and prejudice.  To overcome this, we need a new skill: cultural literacy.

• For Your Information (past) We live in an information age. Libraries, radio and television have been supplemented by the Internet, email and mobile technologies.  But we seem to have quickly generated a state of collective angst about what new levels of openness, and an environment rich in information, mean for the protection of personal data – for where it is stored, who sees it, what it is used for, and what it might say about us.
