Cultural Adaptation Project Reports
The reports gathered here document the implementation of the Cultural Adaptations Project which brought together leading cultural organisations and their innovative local partners from Belgium, Ireland, Scotland and Sweden. There were two main strands of the project: the development of adaptation strategies as part of new business models for cultural SMEs; and the embedded artist projects which placed artists within adaptation projects run by climate or sustainability organisations. The strands were realised through ongoing collaborative working between a cultural organisation, a sustainability organisation and an embedded artist in each of the four cities across the project span; and transnational meetings. The aim of the meetings was to facilitate mutual learning and sharing of progress between the project partners (combining meeting-type sessions with site visits), as well as to engage other cultural SMEs and climate/sustainability organisations working in each city in thinking about the interface between culture and climate change adaptation through half-day workshops combining talks/lectures and discussion activities.
