Evaluating Co-Creative Cultural Heritage Projects in Rural Communities in Ancash, Peru.

Author(s): Robert P. Connolly

Year: 2018

Summary

This paper discusses the evaluation criteria in the creation and implementation of cultural heritage educational programs over a four-year period in rural communities in the Ancash Region of Peru. Over the length of the projects, we made a decisive shift from an approach of creating products for a community to one where we worked with the community in program development.  We determined that a co-creative approach that prioritized the expressed needs of the community resulted in cultural heritage programs with an increased likelihood for being sustained through time by the local community.  We considered a host of models, including the Critical Assessment Framework to evaluate the success of these co-creative projects.
