The project was carried out between April 2018 and August 2019. The Brazilian Centre of Analysis and Planning (CEBRAP) proposes to: (1) Strengthen the local cultural values chains through capacity building activities (in 4 cities of 4 Brazilian macro regions); (2) Improve the local conditions for creative economy's sustainable development through mapping and networking activities; (3) Foster a dialogue between the national cultural centres programmes and the cultural communities.
Capacities and skills on culture, cultural economy and cultural management were improved in the local cultural communities of four cities of four Brazilian macro regions through an open program of training and capacity building. Four 32 hours-long courses, targeting the entire cultural community, including local public managers, were held in the “Praças CEUs das Artes” cultural equipment in four cities, representing four macro regions in Brazil. The courses were divided in two modules. Module 1, 16 hours-length (in 4 days), which contemplated reflections about fundamental issues of cultural policies agenda: culture conceptions, identities, diversity, and cultural citizenship. Module 2, 16 hours-long (in 4 days) focused on skills and techniques related to cultural economy, including elaboration and management of cultural projects.

Quels sont les résultats atteints jusqu’à présent grâce à la mise en œuvre de la mesure/initiative ?:
We believe that the educational process is an effective methodology to trigger future actions and sociocultural transformations, aiming at broadening social participation and improving democracy at local level. To ensure the quality of this process, an effort was made in the development of the contents and methodologies of workshops (Open Program and capacity building in Cultural Mapping Methodologies), considering the sociocultural realities of each city and the agents involved in the means of production, preservation, sustainability and dissemination of local cultures. The workshops combined reflective tools/contents and technologies/skills for local action and networking, aiming at involving civil society and public management to act jointly. Issues varying from normative tools (related to legislation, and policy formulation/implementation/accountability) to mobilization strategies or tools for construction of public policies, and participation in the political life were discussed in the period.
Finally, the cultural mapping activities provided quantitative, and qualitative data and information about the cultural realities of the municipalities, besides stimulating the mobilization and visibility of various socio-cultural actors, revealing a rich and potent cultural diversity in the territories.
Beyond these results related to the creation of new information, the mapping process itself also had different impacts in terms of the articulation of networks in the territories. As more direct results we have the mapping results, reaching more than 200 agents in each city, and some "institutionalized" (or "named") networks created during the workshops and the mapping processes, such as Rizoma Cultural in Toledo (more focused on advocacy and interlocution with the local government) and Pedra d'Água in Embu das Artes (more focused on the conditions of production, it includes a collective art space), as well as the application of 2 cultural agents (local multipliers and participant of the workshop) as eligible to integrate the local cultural council in Macapá. It is also worth mentioning that the project enhanced the start of the work of the municipal Council of Culture in Serra Talhada (the counselors had been elected months before, but the structure was still inoperative, which was issue for many debates involving public actors and cultural civil society during the training activities). In Embu das Artes, the creation of a public policy reflecting demands discussed during the workshops was a highlight point, due to the public notice for cultural projects to published concerning a public cultural center.
- 178 civil society or government cultural agents from Embu (SP), Toledo (PR), Macapá (AP), and Serra Talhada (PE), both male and female, from all age groups (from 17 years old), acting in different stages and domains of local cultural chains.
- Local cultural managers and producers, local public managers, population of the city and neighboring cities.
