Report on the methodologies and results of implementing cultural innovations in different waterfront environments.
The aim of this report is twofold: (1) to present a methodology that might be instrumental for cultural organisations in (co)-developing and launching new methods with the communities, and (2) to overview the results of implementing arts-based methods in cooperation with the waterfront communities.
The presented materials are based on the “I_Improve” (Erasmus+) project, launched in 2019-2021. It is based on the experience of 6 European organisations, experienced in conducting cultural and educational programs and activities: SPÖ Wiener Bildung (Austria), Stad Oostende (Belgium), Venti di Cultura (Italy), Laimikis.LT (Lithuania), River//Cities Foundation (Poland), Intercult (Sweden). The framework of the project was announced as “promoting audience engagement through culture, especially in waterfront areas. Its priorities are social inclusion, open and innovative practices in the digital area, and adult education”.
This report combines the description of the creative tool for the cultural organisations (to map their resources and to incorporate new methods in their practice) and the review of the innovative approaches (case studies).
Hereby you will find the presentations about the developed innovative approach (method) by each project partner. The presentations were arranged on the basis of a profile distributed by Laimikis.lt and presented during the last transnational meeting, arranged by River // Cities
