Impact
Creating impact is an important issue in our POEM research. Impact has many forms and faces, beyond performance metrics it is hard to quantify, however often the non-metrical effects are the most relevant ones. Here we provide examples of POEM impact.

The Participatory Memory Practices series provides a forum for research on a crucial challenge in pluralistic societies: the organisation of open, participatory and socially inclusive memory practices in contemporary digital media environments.
Advancing inter- and transdisciplinary research, the series examines how and in which ways memory practices in digital media are open for engagement of people from diverse backgrounds. It analyses the modalities of memory making and how they can enable institutional and public memory making with a broad spectrum of people and groups in civil society at local, trans-local, national and transnational levels. The series will examine the mediatized character of memory making, whilst also considering what sort of obstacles and potential benefits emerge from participatory memory making. As a whole, the series aims to be a source of knowledge and ideas for creating socially inclusive, sustainable and future-oriented memory practices. It will publish forward-looking, empirically grounded research monographs and edited collections that set the multidisciplinary research agenda for studying heritage in contemporary digital media as an element and a driver of cultural and social change.
Titles within the Participatory Memory Practices series will appeal to academics and students working in memory studies, heritage studies, museum studies, information studies, archival studies, design anthropology and participatory design, social and cultural anthropology, diversity studies, migration studies, media studies and sociology.
The Series Editors welcome proposals that explore the political and social significance of memory institutions and their ethical implications for participatory and socially inclusive memory practices in contemporary digitalized and pluralistic societies. If you have an idea for a book that you think would be appropriate for the series, then please contact the Series Editors and they will be able to provide some initial feedback and information about next steps. |

Tools and Services
Becoming practical and organizing change towards participatory memory practices is easy and complicated at the same time. It needs a modification of mind sets and a long breath – like all change processes. In this section we collect and provide tools and services for getting started with participatory memory practices in digital media ecologies. It provides information for mundane, practical problems in the eclectic mode of emerging questions, without aiming for completeness or systematization.
Action Research and Participatory Design
Research is situated in societies and communities, where it creates impact in some form. Potential impact of research is a main, actively integrated and reflected element of action research and participatory design. The knowledge production is thus based on participatory, experimental and interventional research approaches. Here we share approaches and information on action research and participatory design in POEM.

Virtual Lecture Series
Towards an open dialogue on participatory memory making
The Virtual Lecture Series shares POEM’s knowledge network and scientific results with interested stakeholders for transdisciplinary network building. POEM’s Virtual Lecture Series aims to open a dialogue on participatory approaches in memory making.
View and discuss the public guest lectures and keynotes by our scientific and non-academic experts at the POEM Knowledge Hubs and conferences, made available as open access video talks in our Virtual Lecture Series.
Digital Archive of Forgotten Memories
POEM fellows created the Digital Archive of Forgotten Memories as a space to talk about the things you consider not worth preserving. The memories that you believe not worth storing for all eternity. The things that might never find a suitable place in your individual as well as the collective consciousness of our societies. In the coming two years fellows are attending a variety of different audience-centered cultural and science events, in the form of a One Stop Shop. Our One Stop Shop is an open space where we invite you, the public, to submit a memory that you would like to forget.
Best Practice
Good practice examples for participatory memory work in digital media ecologies are inspirational for rethinking memory making in Europe as more participatory, socially inclusive and future-envisioning. Below we collect and share best practice examples that connect people and groups and memory institutions while paying attention to recent (changing?) memory modalities.
Community of Practice
POEM – Towards a Community of Practice (CoP) of Participatory Memory Work, Fostering Socially Inclusive, Future-Envisioning Memory Making in Europe
Communities of Practice (CoP) form around emerging problems or tasks of everyday life. They bring together people with varied knowledge backgrounds and levels of expertise, which matter decisively for coping with these challenges by learning from one another.
Conferences and Presentations
In order to share and to discuss their knowledge within the scientific community, all fellows gave multiple presentations at scientific conferences, organized workshops and participated in symposiums during the project. Please find a summary of all given presentations here.
AI and life after death

SIEF2021 15th Congress: Breaking the rules? Power, participation, transgression
The POEM project participated in the SIEF2021 15th Congress Breaking the rules? of the Société Internationale d´Ethnologie et de Folklore (SIEF) which ran as a fully virtual conference from 19th to 24th June 2021.
Prof. Dr. Gertraud Koch, Samantha Lutz, Prof. Dr. Isto Huvila and Prof. Dr. Maria Economou curated the panel “Opening-up memory making: inquiries into memory modalities in digital media ecologies I“. The panel explored modalities for opening-up memory making, as digital media ecologies promise to open-up established knowledge orders by providing new modes of participation and publicness, even though participatory memory making has not emerge by itself for people in vulnerable social situations.
The POEM Fellows Cassandra Kist and Susanne Boersma presented their research on “Connecting people, connecting practices – the potential of extending participatory work into the online realm” in the Panel on “The aftermaths and futures of participatory culture in museums and heritage sector II“, which examined participatory and collaborative cultural heritage in retrospective. It explored the aftermath of the participative turn in terms of communities, digitalities and institutions and discussed the question how it has or should break the rules of established cultural heritage practices.
