Co-creating online literary resources to build a national future for reader volunteering and a real-world legacy of the Cultural Value Project.

该项目建立在利物浦大学阅读、文学和社会研究中心(CRILS)之前的一项研究基础上，该研究题为“评估读者志愿读者计划(CRILS CVP)的内在价值，以及对个人和社区的健康和福祉好处”。这项研究的重点是一项志愿者计划，该计划让有心理健康困难、孤立和失业风险或痛苦的人参与其中。报告分析了社会责任志愿者经历的方方面面--从参与、到领导社区阅读小组--得出的结论是，主要的幸福益处是：通过分享文学阅读增加生活的使命感和个人价值观；在个性化的社区精神中产生积极的归属感和接受感；重新相信一个人的工作和贡献的价值；将社会责任感作为一种内在价值，超越克服缺陷(如孤独)。这个后续项目将尽可能广泛和经济地传播读者志愿者计划(RVS)的机会和好处，同时保持CRILS CVP研究证明的个人读者志愿者体验的质量、丰富性和深度。关于阅读文学以促进心理健康和发展，其使命与更广泛的文化价值项目的建议优先事项密切相关，即通过文化参与和积极的公民意识创造改变的背景和条件。拟议的后续活动有三个主要方面，旨在使迄今集中在西北部和伦敦的读者志愿模式能够在全国成功推出。1.使用CRILS CVP的学习和证据与The Reader(Tr)合作制作在线数字文学学习资源。我们将与tr共同制作培训电影，在这些电影中，CRILS将激活与不同时期的文学有关的研究成果，并在仔细阅读中展示建模技能。阅读小组的摘录--新拍摄的以及从作为原始研究数据一部分产生的音频-视频记录中挑选出来的--将提供对小组动态的洞察。还将制作一段简短的宣传片，向潜在的志愿者和合作伙伴介绍共享阅读的价值。为了产生持久的影响，这些电影必须具有吸引力、创新性和最高质量，以吸引人们的兴趣和受过教育的参与。2.与贸易代表密切合作，巩固其与公共部门(NHS、地方政府和图书馆服务)的现有伙伴关系，并发展新的合作伙伴关系(与第三部门和企业部门组织)。这些伙伴关系的目的将是确定致力于发展和嵌入读者志愿服务的当地冠军企业。因此，通过利用当地社区的资产来传播和嵌入这些资源的使用和价值，该项目将确保志愿服务倡议在全国推广时，由最接近和最了解当地社区需要的人在当地主导。3.使用和改进CRILS最初的CVP研究中开发的评估方法，以便有力地评估个人志愿者经验在共享阅读中的受益结果。具体地说，我们将实施CRILS CVP报告中关于报告福利的最敏感结果措施的明确建议，并在广大受益人中进行测试。在这样做的同时，我们还将使我们的后续项目与AHRC完整的文化价值项目报告中的一个关键重点保持一致-即在艺术实践中嵌入多标准评估的重要性。该模式、其方法和资源及其评估将向合作伙伴的其他组织提供。

This project builds on previous research by the Centre for Research into Reading, Literature and Society at the University of Liverpool (CRILS), 'Assessing the intrinsic value, and health and well-being benefits, for individual and community, of The Reader's Volunteer Reader Scheme' (CRILS CVP). The study focused on a volunteer programme, which engaged people at risk of, or suffering from, mental health difficulties, isolation and unemployment. Examining every aspect of TR's volunteer experience - from participating in, to leading, a community reading group - the report concluded that the chief well-being benefits were: increased sense of purpose in life and of personal worth through shared literary reading; an active sense of belonging and of acceptance within a personalised community ethos; renewed belief in the value of one's work and contribution; a sense of the social as an inherent value, beyond overcoming deficit (such as loneliness). This follow-on project will spread the opportunities and benefits of The Reader's Volunteer Scheme (RVS) as widely and economically as possible, while maintaining the quality, richness and depth of the individual reader volunteer experience evidenced by the CRILS CVP study. In relation to reading literature for psychological health and development, its mission closely corresponds to the wider Cultural Value Project's recommended priority of 'creating the context and conditions for change' through cultural engagement and active citizenship. The follow-on activities proposed have three major strands, designed to enable the successful national roll-out of a reader volunteer model, which to date has been centred in the North-West and London. 1.To use the learning and evidence from CRILS CVP to collaborate with The Reader (TR) in producing online digital literary learning resources. We will co-create with TR training films in which CRILS will activate research findings in relation to literature from diverse periods, modelling skills in careful reading. Excerpts from reading groups - newly-filmed as well as selected from audio-video recordings generated as part of the original research data - will offer insights into group dynamics. A short publicity film will also be made to introduce potential volunteers and partners to the value of shared reading. It is essential for lasting impact that these films are attractively innovative and of the highest quality in order to attract interest and educated involvement.2.To work closely with TR to consolidate its existing partnerships with the public sector (NHS, local government and library services) and develop new collaborative working (with third and corporate sector organisations). The aim of these partnerships will be to identify local champions committed to growing and embedding reader volunteering. By thus harnessing the assets of local communities in disseminating and embedding the use and value of these resources, the project will ensure that, as the volunteering initiative spreads nationally, it also remains locally-led, in the hands of those who are closest to, and understand best, the needs of local communities. 3.To use and refine evaluation methods developed in CRILS' original CVP research in order robustly to assess the beneficiary outcomes of individual volunteer experience within shared reading. Specifically, we will implement the explicit recommendations arising from CRILS' CVP report as to the most sensitive outcome measures for reporting benefit and test them across a broad population of beneficiaries. In so doing, we will also align our follow-on project with one of the key emphases of the AHRC's full Cultural Value Project report - namely the importance of embedding multi-criteria evaluation within arts' practice. The model, its methods and resources and the evaluation thereof, will be available to other organisations which partner.
