Gender Equality in the Arts
(1 attachment on this document)
Women are strongly represented and even overrepresented in the cultural and creative sector, or at least in some fields of this sector. However, despite what one could think when looking at their quantitive superiority in public cultural institutions or programmes of higher education in culture management and the arts, the creative sector is far from offering equal opportunities for women…

(6 attachments on this document)
Many culture makers have embraced the theme of Audience Development (AD); we all want audiences, preferably large and enthusiastic ones. But how can we demonstrate to our investors that we have taken the task seriously? How do we measure our efforts? Here, the key terms are: cultural impact; immaterial indicators; shared knowledge; shared practice; people to people; citizen/visitor. What are…

Access to Social Protection: Atypical Workers & Health
(0 attachment on this document)
The topic of access to social protection is very broad.

Cultural practices and participation are key factors for social and personal well-being and contribute to citizens’ ability to deal with social and economic change.
