These workshops are an occasion for committed encounters and for comparing and contrasting experience and views, on the basis of concrete examples of artistic and social experiments, to stimulate and promote thinking, analysis and actions proposed by the various teams involved in ARTfactories/Autre(s)pARTs. These workshops are a response to the teams’ need to address issues as diverse as urban development or socio-economic or environmental questions concerning project-spaces and their development. A summary is then made public to stimulate thinking, analysis and discussion. Therefore these meetings provide an opportunity for the following:
Ø The consolidation of mutually supportive links between the participants in arts activities who belong to the network.
Ø Reflection on the involvement of project spaces in the sustainable development of an area or “territory” [“territoire” [1] in French].
Ø The development of common, shared tools, resources and methodologies, technical data sheets, and of the detailed forms of organisation and contexts in question.
Ø Meetings of and with other players in order to widen the scope of thinking, analysis and perspectives.
Ø Participation in thinking, analysis and discussions on and in culture and the arts, and more widely on/in other sectors of activity.
