How IN SITU Became a Space for Collective Learning
Four years of the EU-funded IN SITU project are wrapping up, so it is now time to reflect on the value that was generated for the cultural sector operating in rural areas across Europe, as well as its legacy for the future.
Shared experiences of Non-urban Cultural Ecosystems
Within the broader economic and social system, cultural and creative industries (CCIs) are finally regaining centrality as meaningful contributors to society, thanks in part to IN SITU’s effort to provide alternative perspectives challenging common preconceived ideas about the role of culture in rural environments.
Community Activation as Placemaking Practice for Local Sustainable Development
As the final phase of the EU-funded IN SITU project approaches, it is time to reflect on the major takeaways of this experience and on the valuable impact that a place-based approach meant for the development of cultural and creative activities in rural areas.
