There is a wealth of research on everything from the impact of cultural mega-events to exploring questions around place and wellbeing, gentrification and regeneration. But where to start? In this newly published research digest, the Centre’s John Wright, Ava Podgorski and Kyla Tully review 126 studies to identify the key findings from the current evidence. Available online and as a PDF download, head to the highlights section for a short rundown of the main themes within the research. https://lnkd.in/efkx5cZE And a special thank you to Dr Cara Courage and Ben Walmsley for their expert input.

About us
We are building a shared understanding of the differences that arts, culture, heritage and screen makes to people’s lives and to society. We want cultural policy and practice to be based on rigorous research and evaluation of what works and what needs to change. We invite you to join a movement to help us better understand the role that culture plays in our lives. You might be thinking about how you can better evaluate the impact of your work, or how you can use research insights and critical reflection in your practice.

Olympic fever is riding high, with only a few days until the final medals are awarded and the Paralympics taking place at the end of the month.

Following on from our resource focused on the economic impact assessments of Cities of Culture, the Centre’s Emma McDowell has gathered seven essential reads for anyone eager to think more broadly about the economic impact of major cultural, sporting and community events. Drawing on this collection of recent reports and important articles, Emma reflects on how economic impact can also be considered alongside social value.

How can we nurture ethical, people-centred research collaborations in the cultural sector? We learnt a lot developing Collaborate, an exploratory programme pairing cultural practitioners with academics to investigate questions of cultural value. We’re now keen to share what we have learned with others who may want to embark on similar collaborative research projects. In this new how-to guide, Lisa Baxter FRSA (Partnerships Manager for Collaborate) draws upon the lessons learned from the programme, sharing practical tips on designing successful collaborations that put people first. Lisa prompts us to think about how we can find shared values, address power imbalances, and cultivate a culture of care when establishing collaborative research partnerships.

How have UK Cities and Capitals of Culture impacted their local economy? In our latest resource, Emma McDowell and Ava Podgorski shine a light on the sometimes thorny topic of economic impact assessments of major cultural events and consider how they relate to other measures of value. “Cultural events and festivals can have a variety of impacts on a place, both good and bad. It is important to look at these in the round. Any economic impact assessment needs to consider how it interacts with environmental, cultural, educational, social and health impacts within a host city.” The resource also draws out other key learning from the evaluations of UK Cities and Capitals of Culture, looking at economic impacts over the short and longer term.
