A multi-platform project which includes a series of films detailing the scientific progress made by scientists in the USA in understanding and treating Alzheimer’s as well as the effects of the disease on those with Alzheimer’s and their families. The series consists of four documentaries and 15 shorter supplemental films.
The first documentary, The Memory Loss Tapes, follows seven people living with the disease, each in an advancing state of dementia, showing how the illness manifests itself very differently in each individual case. The second film, Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am?, tells the stories of five children whose grandparents have Alzheimer’s. The third documentary, Momentum in Science, is a two-hour, two-part film which visits the laboratories and clinics of 25 leading scientists and physicians and examines their research into the treatment of the disease. The fourth film, Caregivers, looks at the lives of those caring for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Links-up is an EU project looking at how ‘Web 2.0’ technologies – e.g. social networking software – are changing the face of education and training for disadvantaged people. The project puts together a picture of the ‘landscape’ of ‘Learning 2.0 for Inclusion’ by reviewing what has been done in the academic and research field, as well as by practitioners working on the ground. It uses a series of ‘action research’ experiments, collaborating with host projects working in the field, to evaluate the added contribution Web 2.0 can make to practices that use learning to support social inclusion. The website offers a collection of case studies as well as podcasts on local initiatives such as the Podcasting-Workshop in Senior citizen center of Walser Birnbaum.

This new resource is dedicated to digitising and providing access to the many films sponsored by the British Council from the 1930s up to the 1960s. At present fifteen films from the 1940s have been digitised and are now available for free online viewing. These documentaries reflect the work of great directors such as Mary Field (Development of the English Town), Philip Leacock/Paul Rotha (Island People) and Ken Annakin (London 1942), as well as an apprenticeship for future ones such as John Krish (editor of Election 1945). The films are designed to promote an exploration of the British Council archive as well as debate and discussion on, for example, the role of these films in the development of a British brand for overseas consumption and how this might have changed over the years. The site also features a wiki listing of all known British Council films by date, beginning with 1933, with the space for discussion.
