The latest PASCAL book, Heritage, Regional Development and Social Cohesion, edited by Peter Kearns, Sofia Kling and Christina Wistman has been published.

It is an outcome of the 8th International PASCAL Observatory Conference in Östersund, Sweden, which was organised jointly by the Jämtland County Museum, Jamtli, and The Nordic Centre of Heritage Learning, NCK.

NCK is a Nordic collaborative initiative for creative research and experimental method development within the field of cultural heritage learning, and was founded in 2005 by the Regional State Archives in Östersund, the Popular Movement Archive in Jämtland County and Jamtli.

Cultural institutions, such as museums, often stand at the intersection of competing values and stories so that their role in learning throughout life, progressing social agendas, and building cohesive communities is an important one, and likely to be increasingly important into the future. In this context, the PASCAL Östersund Conference held in June 2010 in the Jämtland region of Sweden provided multiple perspectives on the role of heritage and heritage learning in 21st century society.
