The proposed workshop programme is set to review existing definitions of cultural engagement and outline the main lines of assessment that have been tested within the Impacts 08 programme and are being further explored in a diversity of special projects within Liverpool and the North West in the context of the 2008 European Capital of Culture. The programme also establishes a link with partners and stakeholders in the South East who aspire to maximise audience engagement in the lead to the 2012 Olympic Games via Cultural Olympiad - related activities. The main issues we aim to explore are interpretations of quality within arts and cultural experiences and approaches to measuring and fully assessing the impact of such experiences. Large-scale cultural events such as the Capital of Culture and the Cultural Olympiad involve extensive collaborations and partnerships as well as targeted spending over brief but intense periods of time. However, understanding the value of experiencing such events and their long term impacts remains a contested issue. In order to frame the debate and maximise opportunities for advanced research methodologies as well as suggested lines of action for practitioners and policy-makers, we are proposing to conduct three workshops that will consider the same questions around quality and measurement. - The first will set-up the scene, by reviewing current definitions and tensions in the interpretation of cultural engagement and outlining established research methodologies. - The second will build on the same questions but with a focus on cultural engagement in physical environments - particularly, the experience of public art and how it differs from a gallery environment- The third workshop will focus on emerging questions around the impact of virtual environments, in particular, the effect of blurring amateur and professional production as well as the impact of increased interaction and the role of audiences as producers of contentThe workshops will involve a core group of 16 participants/speakers who will be involved in the three debates and will have the opportunity to test the methodological and conceptual issues raised in each meeting against their own academic or creative practices.

拟议的研讨会计划将审查文化参与的现有定义，并概述评估的主要路线，这些路线已经在影响08计划中进行了测试，并正在利物浦和西北部的各种特别项目中进一步探讨，以2008年欧洲文化之都为背景。该方案还与东南部的合作伙伴和利益攸关方建立了联系，他们渴望通过文化奥林匹克相关活动，最大限度地提高观众对2012年奥运会的参与度。我们旨在探讨的主要问题是对艺术和文化体验质量的解释，以及衡量和全面评估这些体验影响的方法。文化之都和文化奥林匹克等大型文化活动涉及广泛的合作和伙伴关系，以及在短暂但紧张的时间内有针对性的支出。然而，了解经历这些事件的价值及其长期影响仍然是一个有争议的问题。为了组织辩论，最大限度地利用先进的研究方法以及为从业者和政策制定者建议的行动路线，我们建议举办三个研讨会，讨论质量和测量方面的相同问题。- 第一部分将通过回顾当前对文化参与的解释中的定义和紧张局势，并概述既定的研究方法，来建立场景。- 第二个研讨会将以同样的问题为基础，但重点是物理环境中的文化参与-特别是公共艺术的体验以及它与画廊环境的区别-第三个研讨会将重点关注围绕虚拟环境影响的新问题，特别是，模糊业余和专业制作的影响，以及互动增加的影响和观众作为内容制作者的作用。一个由16名与会者/发言者组成的核心小组，他们将参加三场辩论，并将有机会对照自己的学术或创造性做法检验每次会议提出的方法和概念问题。
