Cultural Policy Tracker #4: Environmental Sustainability and Cultural Mobility

On the Move — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 07:09:06 +0000

This fourth edition of the Tracker includes three articles which foreground different aspects of sustainability for the creative and cultural sectors.

In the first, it is considered ‘How Culture Contributes to Health and Well-being: Findings from the CultureForHealth EU Preparatory Action’. ‘Research on Mobility and Culture’ examines the impact of the pandemic on three groups of actors: artists and cultural professionals, hosts providing mobility opportunities, and funders who set the conditions for mobility.

Finally, Data analyst John Ellingsworth’s ‘Exploring Recent Trends in Environmental Sustainability and Cultural Mobility’, a discussion of On the Move’s second edition of the Cultural Mobility Yearbook (March 2023), reflects on the importance of the ‘green transition’ being reflected in practices as well as in visibility.

Rethinking Cultural Evaluation: Going Beyond GDP

On the Move — Sun, 21 May 2017 10:55:04 +0000

On 23 of October 2014, 50 researchers, academics, cultural operators and practitioners, cultural managers and representatives from European and international institutions met in Paris to discuss about the most recent advancements in cultural evaluation. All in all, more than 11 countries were represented with participants coming from as far as Morocco and Australia. Among the audience were representatives of the European Commission, UNESCO, OECD, the European Cultural Foundation, the French Ministry of Culture, the British Council, the Louvre Museum, as well as directors of prominent cultural networks and art organizations.

Organised by ENCATC in partnership with the University of Deusto, BizkaiLab and the Diputación Foral de Bizkaia, this event was hosted by Vivendi Universal. After the seminars “Rethinking Cultural Evaluation: Going Beyond GDP” (Antwerp, 2013) and “Place of culture in sustainable development: going beyond the GDP indicators” (New York City, 2013), the debate on cultural indicators has continued in 2014 with the Advanced Seminar organized in Paris. This debate in Paris was a unique platform for the major players on this topic to share their research and results from their respective policies and projects on evaluation in the arts and culture. Participants gained insight into the most recent advancements in the debate on culture as an indicator of well‐being and development. A discussion followed on rethinking how to measure the spill‐over effects of cultural and creative industries and how to evaluate cultural approaches.
