The 20 projects supported provide a concrete answer to the evaluative question: "How can a demanding artistic approach contribute to living together on a territory? "This methodological guide aims to help cultural stakeholders to identify and evaluate their social impact. It is conceived in a logic of self-evaluation: the evaluation process is defined and implemented by the organisation itself.To find additional information and practical tools related to that guide:https://www.fondationcarasso.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/La-Boussole-de-lArt-Citoyen-catalogue-impact-WEB.pdfhttps://www.fondationcarasso.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/notre_aventure_collective_-_livret.pdf
