The first MESOC (MEasuring the SOcial dimension of Culture) Workshop will present the first outcomes of this Research and Innovation Action Project, designed to propose, test and validate an innovative and original approach to measuring the societal value and impacts of cultural policies and practices. The event will be dedicated to an in-depth exploration of the different dimensions of culture-enabled transition within three impact domains, i.e. 1) Health and Wellbeing, 2) Urban and Territorial Regeneration and 3) People’s Engagement and Participation.
International guests will introduce key concepts and approaches related to poliy-making for urban transition, and will explore the main challenges of capturing the social relevance of cultural policies and practices. In addition, three thematic round-tables will provide the opportunity to discuss with experts and stakeholders the role of culture in urban change, as well as methodological and operational approaches relevant for social impact assessment and evaluation.
