Zależności między kulturą a rozwojem z perspektywy oddolnych inicjatyw kultury społecznej
Relations between Culture and Development – Grassroots Socio-cultural Initiatives Perspective – Report on the Results of a Research Project “Culture and Development”

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a partial analysis of the results of a research project called “Culture and Development,” which was carried out in 2014-2015 by a wide range of researchers gathered around the Advanced Studies Institute, run by the Stanisław Brzozowski Association. In the research, twelve cases of socio-cultural initiatives were analyzed. The article focuses on two of them: the Terra Artis Association and Łaźnia Nowa Theatre. The results of the two analyses are used as examples in order to diagnose the relations between the socio-cultural initiatives and socioeconomic development. Those relations are described using terms and ideas referring to development which were defined in the “Culture and Development” project. Those terms include mostly: empowerment, sense of community, participation, sustainability and auto-reflexiveness. The presentation of those terms is the second goal of the article.
