The  Workshop Compendium

The moderator and reporter make Notes from the sessions and may ask some participants to send elaborated notes on their proposals. The reporter provides final Summary Notes from the thematic sessions. The Notes per workshop is approx. 5 standard pages and include examples of good practice, warnings and tips for improved practise, and recommendations for further education of the culture actors.

The editors from the project team collect the four Summary Notes and edit them to be the main text in a Summary Report that also includes an introduction and a concluding section with recommendations and perspectives. In total approx. 25 pages.

The editors proof-read and layout the report using the adopted visual identity of the project, and publish the Summary Reports as an English PDF-edition.
