FCSP’s Encouraging Active Participation Mission has opted to partner the project for the specific purpose of disseminating best practices in audience development. With the aid of international experts, furthermore, FCSP aims to support cultural, civic and democratic participation policies in relation to the guidelines set down in the European planning documents covering the next seven-year period.

Now in its third year, ADESTE+ has attracted the involvement of 15 organisations across 11 cities, spanning 7 different countries. All of these organisations have striven to make audiences the central plank of cultural design. To achieve this goal, the project has involved a wide range of organisations with different vocations, including artistic partners, research partners and institutional partners responsible for developing national policies.

By the end of its first year, ADESTE+ had already reached 349 people from 19 countries, through its first Summer School European Conference in Lisbon. In 2020, due to the continuing pandemic, the second European Conference was held online for 1250 registered participants from 59 countries.

Firstly, it forges a partnership that represents the culture chain at various levels, including designers of cultural support policies, and producers, organisers, commentators and users of culture. Secondly, the path it sets is not aimed exclusively at creating cultural products. The artistic partners will road-test different approaches to planning and production, while working alongside each other as they become case studies of how to promote the models they test. The following partners have opted to subscribe to the project:

 

ADESTE+ is a new iteration of ADESTE, a 2013 project designed to put audiences at the centre of the cultural production process, by creating high-quality content that is genuinely accessible. For further information: www.adesteplus.eu
