About the project

The Data Conversations will develop DIDACT – an interactive, AI enhanced impact design and assessment tool- building on the success of best practice tools, such as the Impact Canvas from MeMind project, the self-evaluation framework from Museums of Impact project and the Europeana Impact Playbook. DIDACT will use AI visualisation and text analysis capacities to become an interactive guide for the CCIs looking for ways in which they can accelerate their digital transition, become more sustainable, engage audiences, and utilise AI in a meaningful and supportive way.

The project will also develop info-experiences: creative and collaborative data collection methods and guidelines aiming to create a better understanding of and engage with audiences. Furthermore, the project will bring together at least ten artists and creative professionals for an artistic research and development residency where they can learn and collaborate in developing new data collection approaches suitable for CCIs.

Finally, Data Conversations will train cultural and creative professionals in i) adopting data-based organisational practices, by engaging data in decisions and planning for impact; ii) empowering organisations through conversations about data; iii) utilising and developing creative, collaborative, meaningful and emotionally engaging data collection approaches that support audience engagement and iv) enhancing their practical knowledge in working with AI.

The project is funded under the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
