Outreach to Ownership: A community-led research pilot investigating inclusive approaches to community engagement across culture sectors

**在与AHRC、咨询委员会和合作伙伴就结构和交付进行进一步讨论之前，可能会进行修订**“向所有权延伸”是一个跨境中心和辐条研究试点项目，由历史英格兰和历史环境苏格兰提供，将支持一系列较小的文化部门合作伙伴组织及其社区探索广泛的包容性方法，以促进苏格兰和英格兰各部门的社区参与。中心和辐条模式是一种创新的伙伴关系结构，英格兰历史和苏格兰历史环境的一个小团队作为中心发挥管理和倡导作用，较小的辐条组织领导包容性参与研究，试点和测试方法，以便在2022/23年扩大所有英国国家项目。近年来，无论是通过英格兰的“升级”倡议，还是通过苏格兰的社区财富承诺，社区赋权都已成为英国和地方政府关注的重点。这些政策越来越多地要求社区塑造、参与，甚至承担设计和提供文化服务的责任，以及博物馆、图书馆、画廊和历史建筑等文化资产的所有权。这一试点项目将使社区能够对整个文化部门的这些趋势进行全面调查，并倡导一个包容性的社区参与的文化部门可以为当地社会经济发展和国家政策做出贡献。这一创新试点将产生新的数据和战略见解，有助于确定围绕包容性社区参与建立的互助模式和研究伙伴关系如何在跨文化部门进行协调，确定倡导当地社区可以为文化部门合作伙伴带来的独特服务和领导力，例如志愿者在跨文化部门提供影响、包容和covid恢复方面的关键作用。该试点将评估和分析包容性文化参与的社会和经济影响，确定哪些最佳实践可以增加游客数量，改善当地社区的福祉和社会凝聚力；业务和技能增长。关键故障点也在范围之内：社区参与失败或对文化资产和服务构成风险的地方。辐条组织将在共同创造研讨会上发展研究课题。这些措施可能包括：发展和维持社区伙伴关系（例如与第三部门组织）；联合委托创意或历史解说工作；数字环境下的社区参与；在农村和偏远地区开展包容性参与；参与设计展览、活动及外展计划；社区主导的研究（档案、实物、视觉、口述历史或民族志）；社区领导和/或资产所有权。

**Subject to revisions pending further discussions on structure and delivery with AHRC, advisory board and partners**'Outreach to Ownership' is a cross-border hub and spokes research pilot delivered by Historic England and Historic Environment Scotland that will support a range of smaller culture sector partner organisations and their communities to explore a broad spectrum of inclusive approaches to community engagement across the sector in Scotland and England. The hub and spokes model is an innovative partnership structure, with a small team at Historic England and Historic Environment Scotland playing a management and advocacy role as the hub, with smaller spoke organisations leading the inclusive engagement research, piloting and testing methodologies for a scaled-up all UK nations programme in 2022/23.Community empowerment, whether through 'levelling up' initiatives in England, or community wealth commitments in Scotland, has become a key focus for UK and devolved governments in recent years. Such policies increasingly ask communities to shape, participate in, and even take responsibility for the design and delivery of cultural services and ownership of cultural assets such as museums, libraries, galleries and historic buildings, for example. This pilot will empower communities to interrogate the full extent of these trends across the culture sector, and to advocate for the contribution that an inclusive community-engaged culture sector can make to local socio-economic development and national policy.This innovative pilot will produce new data and strategic insight that will help to identify where mutual aid models and research partnerships built around inclusive community engagement can be brokered across culture sectors, identifying advocating for the unique offer and leadership that local communities can bring to culture sector partners, such as the critical role of volunteers in delivering impact, inclusion and covid recovery across culture sectors. The pilot will evaluate and analyse the social and economic impacts of inclusive cultural engagement, identifying where best practice leads to increases in visitor numbers, improved wellbeing and social cohesion for local communities; business and skills growth. Critical failure points are also in scope: where community engagement fails or poses risk to cultural assets and services. Spokes organisations will develop research topics in co-creative workshops. These might include: developing and sustaining community partnerships (E.G. with third sector organisations); co-commissioning of creative or historic interpretation work; community engagement in digital-only contexts; inclusive engagement in rural and isolated places; co-design of exhibitions, events and outreach programmes; community-led research (archival, object-based, visual, oral historical, or ethnographic); community leadership and/or ownership of assets.
