SUMMARY:What is the value of online cultural engagement?
DESCRIPTION:What does meaningful digital engagement look like and does it change the way we value culture?\n**Waiting list only** \nIn the current climate\, it’s likely that the growth in online cultural engagement in the UK will continue for the foreseeable\, as cultural organisations have pivoted the focus of their work from live experiences to digital output and engagement. \nBut how does online engagement change the way we value culture? What can we learn from organisations that have found ways to engage with audiences and the community with and without using digital engagement\, and what is the emerging research telling us about digital engagement with culture and its associated new ways of creating value? \nIn this session you’ll hear from Kim Wide\, CEO and Artistic Director of Take A Part\, an organisation that has focused on in-person engagement through lockdown\, Portia Tremlett\, Public Programme Engagement Officer at Novium Museum\, who are developing online field trips for schools\, Rishi Coupland\, Head of Data Intelligence at National Theatre who brought theatre into our homes\, and Hasan Bakhshi\, Director of the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre\, Nesta\, which recently published a report into online cultural consumption.

SUMMARY:Failure – the ultimate taboo?
DESCRIPTION:How can we better recognise\, acknowledge and learn from failure?\n**Waiting list only** \nNot every cultural participation project will achieve the impact that it set out to or deliver all the aims for all its stakeholders. This doesn’t mean that these projects are not of value or cannot generate wider learning. \nThe FailSpace research project\, led by Dr Leila Jankovich\, University of Leeds and Dr David Stevenson\, Queen Margaret University\, explores how cultural policy can better recognise\, acknowledge and learn from failure. \nThis interactive session will share some findings from the research and invite you to propose and discuss ways in which the cultural sector can have more honest conversations about its failure. \nDemand for demonstrating impact often means we default to making the case for the value of participation projects rather than identifying opportunities to learn and change. \nWe believe that critically reflecting on both success and failure\, drawing on a range of different perspectives\, is the best route to ensuring this sort of learning takes place and can be built on and shared in future.

SUMMARY:How can we use research and evidence to influence policy change? 
DESCRIPTION:Learnings and insights on how to effectively influence policy\n**Waiting list only** \nWe’re excited to welcome contributors from a range of organisations in a session that focuses on using research and evidence to shape policy change. \nEach speaker will share their learnings and insights on how to effectively influence policy – and you’ll hear from Harman Sagger from the Department of Culture Media and Sport\, Ailsa Macfarlane from Built Environment Forum Scotland discussing making heritage relevant and getting traction when stats aren’t turning heads\, Paul Cairney\, policy researcher from the University of Stirling\, Julia Lamaison\, Head of Research and Statistics at British Film Institute (BFI)\,and Kate Clark\, heritage expert and former CEO of Cadw (the Welsh Government heritage service) who will explore both how we can influence policy and use policy to influence behaviour and skills. \nThis session is chaired by Abigail Gilmore\, University of Manchester and you’ll be invited to share your insights and questions too. You’ll leave with some practical tips and advice about how you can use evidence and research to influence what policy gets made and how it gets made. \nIn association with the Cultural Policy Centre at Leeds

SUMMARY:Young people and mental health: shaping our research
DESCRIPTION:Mental wellbeing makes headlines every day\, with an estimated one in ten children and young people in the UK living with a mental health diagnosis.\n**Waiting list only** \nWith Covid-19 creating an environment for heightened loneliness and isolation\, there’s a need for a stronger focus on the mental health of young people. \nThe Centre for Cultural Value is currently developing a research digest which centres on the question: what is the value of cultural experiences for young people’s mental health\, wellbeing and resilience? Our role is to review and summarise existing research and to share these summary findings in an accessible digest\, to help inform future practice and policy. \nJoin us for an interactive workshop where we share the introductory stages of our research in this area and invite you to feed in your ideas to the development of this research review\, so we can tailor the digest to be as useful as possible to the sector and policymakers. \nSome areas of cultural practice focusing on mental health have strong evidence-based research demonstrating strengths\, whereas other areas have been under-researched. Led by artist and facilitator Viv Gordon\, you’ll help shape the research digest and collectively identify the strengths\, challenges and knowledge gaps in practice and research in the sector. \nAlso participating in the discussion are Dr Robyn Dowlen\, Centre for Cultural Value who is writing the research digest\, Dr Kat Taylor from Greater Manchester’s Arts and Mental Health Innovation programme\, Kevin Edward Turner\, dancer and co-artistic director of Company Chameleon and Errol Francis\, CEO at Culture&. \nThis event is also part of Beyond Measure\, a collaboration between the Leeds Arts Health and Wellbeing Network\, Cultural Institute and Centre for Cultural Value. Beyond Measure is a programme of digital engagement exploring research and evidence in culture and health.

SUMMARY:Who and what is evaluation for? And when is it useful? 
DESCRIPTION:Why do we evaluate our work and who do we do it for?\nIs it to meet the expectations of funders and stakeholders or to assess a project’s success and capture the difference it makes? Are we missing a trick if we don’t use evaluation as an opportunity to enhance our practice and deepen our learning and critical reflection skills? When is evaluation useful and when should we not do it? \nJoin us to discuss and question evaluation in the cultural sector and explore how we might be able to do and share it better\, so collectively we can articulate the difference culture makes to people and to society. \nLed by Anne Torreggiani\, the Centre Co-Director and CEO of The Audience Agency\, we’re also joined by artist Grace Ndiritu\, who works collaboratively with museums across Europe\, Hilary Jennings from the The Happy Museum Project that looks at how the museum sector can respond to the challenge of creating a more sustainable future\, Holly Donagh\, Director of Strategic Learning\, Insight and Influence at Paul Hamlyn Foundation\, Harpreet Kaur\, consultant and project manager at Xtrax and Chris Batsford. The session is introduced by Beatriz Garcia from the University of Liverpool.

SUMMARY:What does cultural participation look like with and post Covid-19?
DESCRIPTION:How do you create opportunities for cultural participation in communities through a global pandemic?\n**Waiting list only** \nWe’ve been entertained and engaged during lockdown\, as cultural organisations and creative practitioners have created an impressive array of rapid responses during the ongoing pandemic to try and keep us connected to their work and to each other. \nAs a society\, we have learnt to adapt to the current environment\, initially mindful that it was ‘short term’. But as new lockdowns roll on and off across the country…what happens next and how do you create opportunities for cultural participation in communities through a global pandemic? \nChaired by academic researcher Dave O’Brien\, join our contributors to hear what they have learnt during this time and how they might have done things differently\, so we can gain insights into how we can help understand cultural value in the future. \nThe line-up includes Zulfiqar Ahmed\, an expert in community-led development and now progressing\, in the midst of coronavirus\, the 10-year £3.5m Bradford Creative People and Places project The Leap; Amerah Saleh\, General Manager of youth organisation Beatfreeks\, whose recent Take The Temperature report focused on the impact of coronavirus on young people; Nisha Tandon OBE\, director of ArtsEkta\, who has created cultural activity packs and an online Mela in Belfast\, and Sarah Clarke\, Learning & Participation Manager at the National Civil War Centre\, who are creating activity boxes for schools with genuine and replica artefacts.

SUMMARY:Whose cultural values?
DESCRIPTION:Does everyone place a value on culture and if so\, do they value it in the same way?\n**Waiting list only** \nAnd do people get the opportunity to engage in what they value most? \nWhilst many argue that art\, heritage and culture define what it means to be human\, it doesn’t mean that we all share the same idea of what culture is\, or how it plays a role in our lives. \nWe’ve brought together contributors whose work is reshaping cultural value in the UK\, including Tobi Kyeremateng\, whose initiative Black Ticket Project gives young Black people free access to the theatre\, artist and activist Harry Josephine Giles\, who is currently producing a disabled artists’ manifesto ‘imagining a crip future’\, Rabab Ghazoul\, director of Gentle/Radical\, a cultural and community organisation in Cardiff working hyper-locally from a basis of social and healing justice\, and Dadirai Tsopo of Hard Times Require Furious Dancing and Wales House Farm Big Local\, whose work focuses on ‘enabling voices from the grassroots a place to be heard’. Chaired by Eleonora Belfiore of Loughborough University. \nTogether they will discuss the headline ideas of cultural value and cultural engagement in the UK and how we can see and move beyond them. How can we step outside the established norm and reshape what cultural value looks like? Audience participation encouraged!
