What are the case studies?

PULSE-ART CASE STUDIES

The case studies are the spaces and time in which the Methodology is explored, adapted, and implemented.

PULSE-ART works with seven projects that, from different disciplinary fields, develop processes aimed at promoting Cultural Awareness and Expression (CAE) with young people (ages 16–30). The seven case studies gather data for PULSE-ART research on the impacts of arts in education to foster CAE.

A three-part process

The Methodology is structured as a three-part process that aligns with the lifecycle of participatory artistic projects:

1. Discover

Contextual grounding and needs assessment.

2. Create

Participatory artistic action and curriculum integration.

3. Reflect

Reflection, evaluation, and learning.

This structure ensures alignment with the nine methodological criteria, including needs assessment, inclusivity, interdisciplinarity, curriculum integration, diverse artistic mediums, inspiring guest artists, reflection, assessment strategies, and professional development for educators. Each organisation implementing a case study adapts the methodology according to its artistic discipline and context.
