Leeds Metropolitan University has been commissioned by Arts Council England to coordinate a new Knowledge Exchange Network and a series of seminars exploring key issues in participation and engagement in the arts across the North of England.
The work is being coordinated by Leila Jancovich, from the UK Centre for Events Management, and Professor Franco Bianchini from the Cultural Planning and Policy Unit in the School of Cultural Studies.
The Network creates opportunities for knowledge exchange between cultural researchers, policy makers, managers and practitioners, from across the North of England, to debate key issues around cultural development generally and participation and engagement in particular.
This site intends to spark and facilitate discussion on topics raised within the seminar programme. Please feel free to leave comments, suggest contributions and don't hesitate to drop us an e-mail on participationandengagement-arts@leedsmet.ac.uk.
