“The aim of this text is to reflect on the impacts of Stronger Peripheries (SP). The impact assessment for a project such as this is necessarily complex, multidimensional and requires a time frame and a distance that are not easily compatible with the scope of a four-year project. With this in mind, we structure our panoramic assessment exercise into three different—but complementary—levels: (i) a processual evaluation, focused on the implementation of the activities of the SP project and in comparing researchers’ observations with factual data collected from the project activities; (ii) a systematization of challenges that participatory processes pose and that cultural agents face in applying these processes in the future in this kind of international collaborative projects; and (iii) an exploratory synthesis of the diverse types of impacts (artistic, social, economic, etc.) felt by the communities involved in the project, based essentially on the self-assessment, by the different partners, of the activities undertaken during their artistic tandems”.
