\n<\/span>Cultural Management, Southern Finland<\/h3>\nMany cultural institutions have tried to activate their audiences as the residents are not, any more seen as passive receivers of the services but as content creators.\u00a0 The activating measures increase the opportunities of influencing but they do not in general broaden the customer basis. The typical non-goers, like young men with little education, working men and immigrants usually stay outside the opportunities to participate. The project aims to broaden the participating opportunities for the typical non-goesrs. The participants of the pilot are cultural centres Stoa and Vuotalo from eastern Helsinki and cultural centre Karatalo from Karakallio Espoo. They were chosen because they have been especially active in participating the residents. Eastern Helsinki is a typical neighbourhood with a great number of immigrant population.<\/p>\n
The project starts with examining the measures that have been taken to participate the audience. The surveying is international, and a benchmarking visit will be made to several European destinations. In the second phase the statistics of the underutilization of the regional cultural centres of Helsinki and Espoo, as well as the needs of the cultural centres will be analysed.\u00a0 The third phase is creating a new kind of “cultural activist register” to the members of which concrete participating and influencing possibilities are offered.\u00a0 The experiences of participating will be evaluated with those involved (Phase 5).<\/p>\n
