Museum education, which creates conditions for people to better understand their own culture and other cultures and to form skills for effective intercultural interaction, is based on the recognition and acceptance of differences and the development of empathy, tolerance and respect, while helping to preserve cultural values. This determines the role of museum education in the ethnographic and historical museum as a tool for successful implementation of intercultural dialogue. This article presents the main aspects of a functional analysis of educational and cultural policies in the period from 2012 to 2020. In addition, in the context of the key global and European visions for education and culture and their reflection in national policies until 2030, the introduction of modern intercultural educational programs for ethnographic and historical museum in strategic terms is justified. The research was carried out as part of research on contemporary intercultural educational programs for ethnographic and historical museums.

The study aims to present the best practices of museum education, art pedagogy and circus pedagogy in Hungary, to highlight their importance and their role as mediators of cultural values and their role in social equal opportunities. It emphasizes the role of non-formal forms of learning that are capable of meeting learners’ needs in a well-defined, differentiated, and experiential way outside the school system. At the same time, the study reflects on current issues in the renewal of museum education. Among other things, for those who want to study, «everything is more interesting outside of school». Changing learning habits and technical opportunities poses a major challenge in sustaining learning motivation. It also emphasizes the potential of informal learning in diverse settings - family, community, informal and supportive of information acquisition and capacity building (Coombs 1969, 1972). It cites examples of good domestic practice as interpreted by the Constructivist Museum (Anderson 2008; Black 2012; Hein 2004 a, b) and refers to programs, projects, and circus pedagogical initiatives for SEN and disadvantaged groups.

The world is changing rapidly, the power of countries is shifting from traditional "hard power" to taking advantage of "soft power", including the strength aspect of culture. This article focuses on reviewing cultural approaches and the role of cultural policies in promoting national soft power. In particular, the experiences of the US and China in formulating, implementing cultural policies and promoting the soft power of culture are respectively emphasized. The lesson that can be learned from changes in the world situation is that the role of culture and soft power has always been an important force in the foreign policy of countries. Thereal prestige of a country formed through the process of international relations and cultural promotion is considered as a solid foundation of soft power. That prestige can be built from the good cultural values that the country has, pursues and influences other countries.

Food insecurity in Indigenous communities in Canada continue to gain increasing attention among scholars, community practitioners, and policy makers. Meanwhile, the role and importance of Indigenous foods, associated knowledges, and perspectives of Indigenous peoples (Council of Canadian Academies, 2014) that highlight community voices in food security still remain under-represented and under-studied in this discourse. University of Winnipeg (UW) researchers and Fisher River Cree Nation (FRCN) representatives began an action research partnership to explore Indigenous knowledges associated with food cultivation, production, and consumption practices within the community since 2012. The participatory, place-based, and collaborative case study involved 17 oral history interviews with knowledge keepers of FRCN. The goal was to understand their perspectives of and challenges to community food security, and to explore the potential role of Indigenous food knowledges in meeting community food security needs. In particular, the role of land-based Indigenous foods in meeting community food security through restoration of health, cultural values, identity, and self-determination were emphasized by the knowledge keepers—a vision that supports Indigenous food sovereignty. The restorative potential of Indigenous food sovereignty in empowering individuals and communities is well-acknowledged. It can nurture sacred relationships and actions to renew and strengthen relationships to the community’s own Indigenous land-based foods, previously weakened by colonialism, globalization, and neoliberal policies.

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.

Experiences of absence are often laden with values and expectations. For example, one might notice that a job candidate is not wearing a tie, or see the absence of a wedding band on a person's ring finger. These experiences embody cultural knowledge and expectations, and therefore seem like good candidates for being a form of evaluative perception. This chapter argues that experiences of absence are evaluative apart from the social or cultural values they take on. They are evaluative in their core, solely by virtue of being experiences of absence. The chapter begins by explaining why certain experiences of absence should be treated as a case of genuine perception. It then clarifies the role of the evaluative states in experiences of absence. The chapter concludes by arguing that experiences of absence constitute a new form of evaluative perception, and presents the subjective–objective dichotomy in a new light.
