Hello ACORNS subscriber,
This fortnight it's all about
statistics and evaluation. A number of interesting reports and findings have been released recently, so whether you are looking for serious summer reading (or are enjoying the southern hemisphere winter and want an excuse to stay indoors) we have ideas for your reading list. If you would like to contribute the world of statistics and evaluation, we would be grateful for your input into our latest research project on cultural leadership. Complete our short sector survey here, and feel free to forward the details to your networks.
Last week the European Commission published the third edition of Culture Statistics, which looks at a range of indicators that relate to culture, including employment, expenditure, international trade, enterprise and participation. The full report
is available on their web site, but if you’re pressed for time, the Network of European Museum Organisations has a good summary of interesting results. In the same week, the Asia-Europe Foundation
published their two-volume
ASEF Outlook Report, Connectivity: Facts and Perspectives, which was released in line with the 11th Asia-Europe Meeting. The report addresses connectivity between the regions in relation to various factors including economics, sustainable development, culture and media, and education. Meanwhile in Mexico, the Secretary of Culture and the National Institute of Statistics and Geography have presented a snapshot of the role of culture in the national economy. The findings show that more than one million people are now employed in the sector, which contributes 2.8% of the country’s GDP. If you want to explore your reading options futher, you can always browse our online catalogue of cultural policy publications.
No doubt there have been other interesting reads from the past fortnight, so if you have news or publications that you would like us to share, please contact us at news@ifacca.org.
Le recordamos que continuamos entregando noticias del espacio iberoamericano tanto de los países miembros como artículos en prensa en general de la región. Al final de cada edición de ACORNS encontrará la sección de ACORNS Iberoamericano. Asimismo, nuestro sitio web cuenta con una variedad de noticias en español a su disposición.

This is an important issue for the sector, and even if you can't join us at the Summit - though we hope you can - we’d like your voice to be heard. Share your perspective:
