SEEKING PARTNERS FOR DEVELOPING A VALIDATION SYSTEM FOR ARTISTIC INTERVENTIONS


Humak University of Applied Sciences (Finland) is the biggest university in Finland educating cultural managers. It focuses on developing cultural management training and strengthening cooperation between creative industries and entrepreneurial activities in the society. The research, development and innovation (RDI) unit at Humak has gained a significant role in Finland bridging the creative sector with other sectors and utilizing culture as an interface for building up new multidisciplinary innovations.

We are now applying for the Creative Europe Program (cross-sectoral strand) and are seeking various kinds of organizations (practice, research, education) throughout Europe working with artistic interventions to join the project. The project span will be 3,5 years starting on August 2014.

The objective is to create a validation system to develop artistic intervention quality, liability and measurements. The core question is: “What can we expect from certain kind of interventions?” Artistic interventions are and they have to stay open and unique processes in order to fulfil the idea of art, but it is important for all stakeholders to understand that there are various levels of probability.

The validation system will help:
* Identify effective creative interventions which are appropriate for any client group, context and desired objectives - (eg reading and interactive theatre do different things).

* Specify criteria to help ensure that the creative intervention will be delivered effectively - collaboration, audience research, planning, prep, funding, etc.

* Define systematic approaches to evaluation and how evaluation should be used to support the development of policy and practice.

Those of you, who are interested to join us, please be in contact with us not later than December 15th 2013.
