Cultural observatory

The main initiatives implemented under the project will include:

• Initiating, conducting and supporting research and diagnostic projects,
• Conducting publishing activities and organizing industry meetings and conferences.

The Cultural Observatory will create a platform to document good practices in the area of cultural programs, projects and policies implemented both in Poland and around the world and covering all seven creative categories represented in the Network.

In addition, the observatory’s task will be to monitor the creative sector in Bydgoszcz on an ongoing basis, evaluate projects implemented by the city, observe current trends in culture and forecast trends for the coming years.

The reports created within the framework of the Cultural Observatory will constitute a repository of knowledge for other cities – members of the network as well, and will therefore constitute a real and material contribution of cities to the development of the network. Experts from other cities in the network will be invited to create them, so that content with an international, transferable context can be created.
