Market research shows several other successful multi-arts festivals in nearby cities that attract thousands of attendees. The target audience is identified as culturally active individuals aged 18-50, including students, families and older citizens. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are considered, and plans are outlined for financing, branding, objectives and a project timeline.
Music and Culture, Music Event Grant ProjectHampus Elinder
The document proposes a Newcastle Choir Day event to promote choral music. The event would include workshops, performances, and a concert. It would appeal to all ages and cultures by integrating different music genres. Practicing music and singing in a choir provides mental, physical, and social benefits by reducing stress, enhancing mood, and building community. The event aims to broaden Newcastle's small choir scene and have positive impacts on the whole community's health and culture. It would be hosted at the University of Newcastle's Conservatorium to utilize their facilities and student/staff involvement.
Measuring cultural value using social network analysis: a case study on valui...Anna Jordanous
1) The document discusses measuring cultural value in electronic music using social network analysis. It explores how to quantify cultural value in a way that can be used by computational creativity systems.
2) The study examines social networks on SoundCloud to identify key electronic music producers and communities. It analyzes relationships between producers based on geography, genre, and interactions like comments.
3) The research aims to use social network data as a proxy for measuring cultural value computationally. Factors like an artist's position in genre/location based subnetworks and frequency of positive comments may indicate higher cultural value. This approach could help computational creativity systems evaluate and emulate valuable interactions.
The Cultural Value Project aims to take a broader approach to evaluating the value of arts and culture through public, commercial, and informal sectors using a range of disciplines. It will examine the value of arts and culture through components like individual experience, economic benefits, health, understanding across cultures, and well-being. The project will develop appropriate methodologies and forms of evidence to evaluate rather than simply measure cultural value. It will involve case studies, workshops, and an open funding call to advance understanding of this topic.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

1. CULTURAL VALUE PROJECT
Professor Geoffrey Crossick
Director, AHRC Cultural Value Project
AHRC Subject Associations Meeting
26 September 2013
1
2. Why the Cultural Value Project?
• AHRC’s work on measuring cultural value
• Past efforts driven by political imperative
• Value of arts and culture increasingly discussed
• Need for more ambitious & broader approach
• Research not advocacy
2
3. The broader approach
• Value to individuals & society of all arts & culture
publicly-funded, commercial, 3rd-sector, amateur
•Breadth of arts and cultural activities
art to theatre, music to literature, film to design
incl. museums & heritage
incl. digital consumption/co-production; and home
• Start: value located in arts and cultural experience
• Framework approach
components
methodologies & evidence
3
4. The components – for now at least (1)
• Reflective individual and engaged citizen
fundamental experience of arts/culture at root of this?
• Benefits to economy
arts & cultural environment and creative industries
innovation & cultural environment
economic impact
• Communities, regeneration and space
urban regeneration, community arts
cultural assets and neighbourhoods
rural communities

professional and informal carers
ageing
• Wellbeing
subjective measures + capabilities approach
place of culture
• Culture, understanding and international relationships
cultural engagement & trust, ‘soft power’
5
6. The challenge of evaluation
• How evaluate arts/culture value across components?
• Appropriate methodologies & forms of evidence
• Evaluate not measure
no necessary hierarchy quantitative & qualitative
issue is appropriateness and rigour
though will explore meta-methodologies & big data
• Case studies
identify and develop methodologies
6
7. The range of disciplines needed
• Creative disciplines
• Full breadth of humanities disciplines
• Social sciences
eg economics, ethnography, sociology
• Sciences
eg cognitive psychology, neuroscience, medicine

11. Challenge of the Cultural Value
Project• Objective is understanding – a research goal
+ more grown-up conversations on value of arts & culture
• Yet want it to be useful and relevant
understanding, evidence, methodologies
relevant to cultural world itself at all levels
and, yes, helpful in making case for public contribution
persuasive to policy-makers
• Wide-ranging report
some of the answers, but far from all
basis for future work – esp. evidence, methodologies
future work driven by enhanced understanding 11
