First year of the project comprised a research on the educational activities and practices of cultural institutions – museums, libraries, cultural centres - and on the training needs of cultural professionals and managers. After a brief investigation of the cultural systems from the countries participating in the project, the research took the form of questionnaires-based surveys in a first phase, followed by a series of in-depth analyses carried within a limited number of cultural organisations. The results are gathered in one research report composed of 2 parts, first part already published on the project website, accessible to anyone interested, the second part to follow soon. The summary of the research report published in 5 national languages will be also available.
