F.A.Q.
What is the Particip-Arc network?
Particip-Arc
created in 2017 with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, is a network of actors engaged in citizen cultural research. Its aim is to encourage the sharing of experiences between members and the reflective analysis of their practices, whilst also promoting and developing citizen science in the fields of culture.
This web portal has been designed by the network in order to highlight the actions, members, projects, news, events and resources relating to cultural research and citizen science.
Who is the Particip-Arc portal for?
The Particip-Arc portal is where you’ll find information on the projects and people involved in citizen science in the fields of culture. So, whether you're a project leader, a contributor or just curious about culture, this portal is for you. Project leaders and anyone already involved in citizen cultural research can join the network – a community of actors keen to share their know-how, knowledge and experience – via this portal. Contributors and those curious about culture will find a showcase of projects in which they can get involved.
