Based on all collected data, conducted analyses and insights gained through the project "Participatory Governance of Cultural Institutions", the book containing notes for cultural policy was created as a joint work of the researchers and the director of the Foundation.

The book has multiple purposes. According to the Foundation’s role as intermediary or matchmaker, which it assumed and developed during this project, the book should serve stakeholders involved in practices of participatory governance in culture to improve their capacities and build mutual trust for further collaborative governance. It may additionally serve as the foundation for all those who recognize the values of sustainable and good participatory governance of cultural resources and hence create new initiatives. The book can also be used in future research and continuous analysis of this topic in local contexts and on national and international levels.

The publication is awailable for free download here.
