Family, Culture, and Place: Cultural Leisure Activities in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic
Thursday October 8, 2026 1:00pm - 1:30pm EDT
Studio
The frequency of contact with art and the degree of intergenerational transmission of cultural habits within the family environment represent key determinants in shaping pupils’ relationship to culture. This paper focuses on the analysis of families’ cultural leisure activities in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic as one of the crucial factors in the development of relationships to diverse forms of cultural expression.
 
The study draws on a questionnaire-based sub-study conducted among parents of primary school pupils in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic (N = 676) as part of the REFRESH project. The examination of families’ leisure activities forms part of a broader research framework focused on the visual literacy of pupils in primary education.
 
The findings indicate that family patterns of leisure-time behaviour constitute an important context for cultural participation in a post-industrial region. They suggest that shared cultural experiences within the family form an important part of pupils’ broader cultural environment and should be taken into account in research on the relationship between culture, place, and visual representation. In this way, the paper contributes to the current discussion on the relationship between place, memory, and visual representation in contemporary education.
