Value of culture

What is the value of culture? How can we make that value visible – for individuals, communities and policy?

In the series “The value of culture”, we systematically and substantively map the impact of cultural participation accross the economic, social, health and cognitive domain, based on an extensive review of literature . You can read more about our approach and methodology in this introduction.
