‘Tout Maastricht’ has commissioned Joop de Jong and his research team, consisting of Sandra van Helden and Ward Schoonbrood, to analyse and evaluate the effects of the cultural education programme ‘Toon je Talent’ (‘Show your talent’) on the cultural participation of children studying in group 8 in primary schools in Maastricht.
Stichting Tout Maastricht is an independent network organisation in Maastricht, promoting cultural participation through cultural education, community arts and other cultural programmes for youngsters and elderly people, cultural entrepreneurship, and cultural exchange and cooperation. Toon je Talent (show your talent) is a cultural education programme for elementary schools in Maastricht. This programme, run by Caleidoscoop, receives support from Tout Maastricht, the Municipality of Maastricht and the national Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie.
Tout Maastricht has asked Joop de Jong and his research team, consisting of Sandra van Helden and Ward Schoonbrood, to analyse and evaluate the effects of this programme on cultural participation of all children in group 8 of primary schools in Maastricht. The research on the effects on cultural participation of this long term education programme (ending in 2021) is using digital questionnaires and will be repeated every year.
