The research aims to provide evidence and knowledge on how democratic values and creative health can be coordinated in practice and therefore, potentially strengthen cultural rights globally. How can theatrical creators and political leaders build more bridges and forge more alliances with each other? How can collaborative spaces be created and fostered in local communities? What role do theatrical organisations play in their urban and cultural context, and how can they become creatively involved with discourses of broader public value?
