Prof. Sarah Whatley is Professor of Dance and Director of the Centre for Dance Research at Coventry University. Her research focuses on dance and new technologies, intangible cultural heritage, dance analysis and documentation, somatic dance practice and pedagogy, and inclusive dance. She has published widely on these themes and the AHRC, EU, and the Leverhulme and Wellcome Trusts fund her current projects. Those projects include coordinating EuropeanaSpace, exploring the creative reuse of digital cultural content. She is also a partner on a H2020 project, WhoLoDancE, exploring smart learning environments for dancers. One of her current AHRC-funded projects has involved creating an online toolkit for the professional dance sector, built on a MOOC model, supporting dance artists and arts organisations building knowledge about policies and practices for inclusion and diversity. She is founding editor of the Journal of Dance and Somatic Practices and sits on the editorial boards of several other Journals.
The Council of Europe Framework 
This collection explores the growing global recognition of creativity and the arts as vital to social movements and change. Bringing together diverse perspectives from leading academics and practitioners who investigate how creative activism is deployed, taught, and critically analysed, it delineates the key parameters of this emerging field. Rosa Cisneros’ chapter Urban Villages: The Roma’s Digital Scrapbooks—Changing Narratives One Image at a Time, explores creative practices and cultural values of the Roma community through the use of IN2s digital scrapbook tool. Providing the Roma community with and access to advanced digital technologies which they would struggle to approach in other environments, was essential to the Urban Villages project. Allowing the Roma to write their stories and express their voices using the arts through producing films and a travelling exhibition and sharing the work widely and highlighting these positive stories, counternarratives were produced which begin to challenge the erroneous images that exist and are widely circulated.

Since the onset of the war in Ukraine, Museums across Europe have implemented different support actions to help their Ukrainian museum colleagues and citizens.
PédeXumbo was born in 1998 to provide a legal framework for the Andanças Festival, created in 1996 by a group of Portuguese young people. The Association’s work can be divided into two stages: before and after 2007. Until 2007, it had an unstoppable growth, showing new artistic forms based on the practice of European dances and dances, hitherto unknown in Portugal. At the same time, it was promoting the professionalization of artists and increasing the offer in the area of traditional dance in Portugal. The Association itself became professional, expanding its activities to the whole country, multiplying festivals, training and leisure activities. In Évora, where it has its headquarters, it was possible to develop more in-depth work in the pedagogical aspect. To understand the scope of the association, it is necessary to talk about dances from the world, but keeping a distance with the Revivalism that happened in other European countries: in Portugal, the integration, especially with the Lusophone cultures, is very strong, and PédeXumbo safeguarded this wealth.
