The main objective of the project Brokering Migrants’ Cultural Participation (MCP Broker) is to train Public Cultural Institutions* (PCIs) and to provide them with the tools required to improve their cultural diversity management. At the same time, the project aims at stimulating migrants’ cultural participation by strengthening PCIs’ capacity to interact with them. MCP Broker is thus a project that studies the role of cultural institutions as actors in migrant-integrating societies. The benchmarking tool was developed during the first phase of the project by all partners.
7 chapters were identified : institutional vision and policy, visitors/audiences, programming/repertoire/collections/narrative, partners/collaborators, staff, boards/governing bodies, suppliers. For each chapter, 4 levels were reported: basic, lower intermediate, upper intermediate and advanced. In order to make the benchmarking tool work, some conditions were identified inside each chapter and each level to allow a certain degree of flexibility and adaptability during its use. The application of the benchmarking tool to 11 cultural institutions in Belgium was carried out by the Platform for Intercultural Europe (PIE). PIE identified some problems that are stated in the conclusions of the Pilot Study.
