Cultural Participation: Demand, Supply and Public Policy

Edificio Histórico de la Universidad de Oviedo

Oviedo, 13 & 14 March, 2014

The Project "Assessing effective tools to enhance cultural participation" (PUCK) has been awarded a European Grant in the

CULTURE 2007-2013 program from the European Union, to promote cooperation among organizations involved in the analysis

of cultural policies. We investigate the drivers and barriers to cultural engagement in contemporary European societies, in an

attempt to establish a fruitful dialogue between universities, firms and cultural institutions from Belgium, Ireland, Italy and Spain.

The aims of this cooperation network are:

Develop knowledge and useful management tools to better understand and to enhance cultural participation.

Improve the mechanisms of transmission of knowledge between the university, the cultural sector and private and public

managers.

Areas of the PUCK project:

Audience analysis to determine who gets engaged with culture today, how and why.

Analysis of the impacts of cultural participation.

Assessment of the impact of cultural institutions in the university and impact of the university in the configuration of cultural

industries.
