Paris lock bridge
Since late 2008, tourists have taken to attaching padlocks (love locks) with their first names written or engraved on them to the railing or the grate on the side of the bridge, then throwing the key into the Seine river below, as a romantic gesture.[4] This gesture is said to represent a couple's committed love.[5] Although this is not a French tradition and has only been taking place in Paris since the end of 2008, with locks occasionally being cut off by city workers, since 2012 the number of locks covering the bridge has become overwhelming, with locks being attached upon other locks. In February 2014, Le Monde estimated[6] that there were over 700,000 locks; with the 2014 summer tourist season, many thousands more have since been added, creating a serious safety concern for city authorities and an aesthetic issue for Parisians
letters to Juliet, letters in wall
Each year, the town of Verona, Italy — home of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet — receives thousands of letters of heartache and unrequited love addressed to the play's star-crossed heroine.
The tradition of sending letters to Juliet very likely goes back centuries. People started by leaving notes on a local landmark said to be Juliet's tomb. Later, many started sending mail directly to the city. By the 1990s, Verona was receiving so many letters, it created an office to deal with it. And each letter — the Juliet Club office gets more than 6,000 a year — is answered by hand.

Bronzee Bull
“It gives you good luck,” is the usual justification for fondling the testicles, according to tourists from South America, Asia, and all sorts of places in between.
The Charging Bull statue just south of Wall Street is slightly bigger and burlier than a Humvee, weighing in at 3.5 tons (7,100 pounds). Each of its cojones is comparable in size to a slightly distended soccer ball. Rubbing these giant golden-bronze testicles has become a superstitious pursuit for visiting businessmen and tourists alike.

Trevi fountain Rome
The myth, originating in 1954 with the movie "Three Coins in the Fountain," goes like this:
• If you throw one coin: you will return to Rome.
• If you throw two coins: you will fall in love with an attractive Italian.
• If you throw three coins: you will marry the person that you met.
The origins of the fountain go back to the year 19 B.C., in which period the fountain formed the end of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct. The first fountain was built during the Renaissance, under the direction of Pope Nicholas V.

hells gate, clay on face NZ
Once bathed in by Māori warriors, the mud and waters of Tikitere have soothed battle-scarred bodies for centuries. To this very day our nutrient-rich water relaxes the body, while our mud gently exfoliates the skin. Take the time out to experience this healing for yourself, with a soak in the sulphur pool and full body mud coverage. You’ll leave rejuvenated and fresh, ready for the rest of your adventure.

Holi
Holi ( /ˈhoʊliː/); is a popular ancient Hindu festival, originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is celebrated predominantly in India and Nepal, but has also spread to other areas of Asia and parts of the Western world through the diaspora from the Indian subcontinent. Holi is popularly known as the Indian "festival of spring", the "festival of colours", or the "festival of love

Spanish tomato trowing
La Tom atina can trace its roots back to the mid-1940s, when the first public tomato food fight accidentally took place in Buñol .
According to the official website for the festival, a parade was taking place in the town square on the last Wednesday of August in 1945, which featured individuals dressed as giants with big heads (gigantes y cabezudos).
A group of young people apparently caused the big head of one of the parade's participant's to fall off, a mishap which led the costumed individual to become irate.
The unfortunate individual began to cause havoc along the parade route, colliding with a market stall selling tomatoes.This series of events resulted in spectators picking up the tomatoes and throwing them at one another, sparking the origin of La Tomatina.

Feed back
Michelle and Gwen really liked the ideas about modern heritage and what we do today creates heritage and also the sensory nostelgic triggers, not seeing heritage just as a place.
she referred to an exhibition on Te Papa about Indian weddings and part of it was boxed of spices which helped connect with the exhibit.
Also they said there is no boundary for digital platform but to not get caught up designing apps and websites.
The idea about what we leave behind and connections to the anthropocene seemed to be of interest.
if we look into the mental health direction it has to me NZ Heritage with mental health benefits not metal health with NZ Heritage
Stories of others can help migrants etc feel comfortable.
Email from Michelle and Gwen:
Hi Georgia and Charlotte,
Your questions about engagement got us thinking. In the digital space, we think we would measure engagement as like/share/comment on a post or similar – something more than just like/follow a site.
We’ve just discussed whether we’re getting app fatigue. Encourage you to think about creating personality(s) that operate across existing platforms, as well as exploring creation of new platforms.
Another question is how we can encourage action/activism. Gwen suggested modelling how to nominate places for the list. These are really big actions – maybe beyond the small shift to caring.
On caring: nostalgia can be tricky for people not born here, eg saffron might be the nostalgia trigger for a refugee from Afghanistan, hence Gwen’s point about learning about the values that drive the local history here. So, for instance, Tariq used to teach girls underground in Afghanistan when it was banned by the Taliban, so learning about the history of women’s suffrage in NZ would likely connect with his values.
Thank you for stimulating questions this morning!
Michele.

Mis-Guides
“Many of us drive long distances to get to our places of work. Perhaps we gave the journey our whole attention at first. But the road rapidly becomes familiar. After a while, it becomes visible, a featureless corridor from home to work, a non-place where the mind drifts and we suddenly find ourselves arriving without having any memory of the journey.
Our minds might be busy elsewhere. Many people enjoy these in-between moments of solitary meditation.
But we don’t know this familiar route at all. Perhaps it by-passes strange towns. Perhaps it opens onto tiny lanes, leading into the green like veins.
Is there something to be said for reconnecting with the journey, for stepping off the road’s conveyer belt and seeing what lies to one side? For getting out of the car and seeing the landscape at a different pace? “

New Questions?
How can 18-24 year olds engage with heritage in a mindful and personal way that fits into their own free time schedule? How can we make heritage apart of youth culture through small scale misguided interventions?

Client Meeting
Prior to the Meeting, we sent through some information on a direction for the project and the following are notes takes from during the meeting:
- 18-24yrs is the target
- The individualized actualisation is becoming for relevance in today's society, how can we be more human.
- You can walk back to the future, this is a Maori saying and away they view time.
The feedback about more specifically the NZ Heritage Festival was that it is to large a scale and that it needs to be a more cost-effective solution, projection might not be the best way to look at the solution but use it as a way of thinking, like layering on top of what is already there, maybe more of a cultural way. what could something be that is integrated into the culture of the young people, for example, they want heritage to be something that would be weird if you didn't know about it “What? You don't know about your heritage?”. What are some ways we can encompass this idea a smaller or subtle way? There has been a project in other countries where they give artist free rein on historical rooms, but how does this affect the other demographics? There was a concern about how to engage local artists. I mentioned the Te Papa night shows and how young people have different time schedules to other ages (this direction is why we went with a night festival i think) the client liked this insight a lot, explaining that they have tried something with Vincent Pauls at a venue with live music but thinks it was still aimed at older people. We should look into integrating heritage into the culture of young people, where we go in our spare time and how we could merge these. Look at the difference of drawing people to and event vs the event/thing appearing to them.
Maybe we journey map our days/other peoples days and where they go at what times?
Look into how to change cultural dynamics.

Competition
Heritage NZs Competes with educational and family activities as well as other sources of historical background programmes:
Educational:
Libraries, libraries offer a place to research history and read about published heritage sites and stories. This would be the first place many people reach out to first if researching particular historic places or events.
Internet, The internet is available to us at the most convenience, every second the database and knowledge of the internet grow at extraordinary rates, as an adapting species this is the becoming a reliable source if exploring properly. The younger generations would take to this method without a thought, it has become a cultural instinct.
People, Before we could read or write people were the history keepers and to this day it is a prefered method to gather accounts and historic records. It highlights the storytelling aspect of history and keeps it alive and interesting.
Family Activities:
Walks/Tramps, New Zealand is a country that prides itself on its land and greenness, many NZ families take to nature activities and walk as a way of reconnecting with the land and its history by being present with it while also creating new experiences and memories with their families.
Museums/Galleries, Museums are an educational but engaging day activity for families, where parents can take children while being in a safe environment. Museums offer a range of different categories that rotate and new exhibitions circulate, meaning you can go back and it might have changed, creating new experiences constantly.
Movies/Entertainment, these are becoming a relatable way of communicating stories, documentaries and movies are released to sites such as Netflix where people get recommended these things, the information comes to them rather then them searching for it. If popular it can spread, e.g Ted Bundy, Planet earth etc...
Other:
DNA Testing, Allows people to physically relate to ancestors and individualised historic records and events that is a personalised journey. This has become a trend that has interested young people, a self-discovery that a network of business does all the work they send the package and you get the results back.
