The research activities aim at a better understanding of how participatory activities impact on the venues and how to enlarge the analysis at regional level. The research team will develop the right tools to be shared among artistic partners, to collect not only qualitative data, but also quantitative ones, to understand how the process activated affects the venues, the staff involved, the audiences, the artists. The way of working is Action Research, which should help artistic partners to better understand the impact of their activities and to set valuable KPIs to make the most of the impacts of the process. The research wants to provide a clear analysis of what a participatory approach and an active involvement of spectators imply.
