KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE FOR AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT

2017-2019

 

 

Fondazione Fitzcarraldo has been a partner of CONNECT, a Knowledge Alliance for Audience Development developed within the framework of Erasmus+ that promotes innovative cooperation between universities, institutions and enterprises in the cultural sector across Europe.

CONNECT aims at developing an innovative multidisciplinary training module mixing informal and formal learning methodologies and digital resources to introduce audience development theory, practice and philosophy. The training module is called Twin Track programme and aims to be adaptable to university and non-university contexts, through a methodology that includes action learning and mentoring for the development of hard and soft skills for both students and cultural professionals.

Fondazione Fitzcarraldo has been in charge of the preliminary research phase and of the final evaluation of the training programme examining the Twin Track programme, the mentoring scheme and the Action Research processes. The Evaluation report is available here: http://connectingaudiences.eu/resources/evaluation-report
