The ‘Huis voor de Kunsten Limburg’, the institute for amateur and professional arts and cultural heritage in Limburg, has asked Joop de Jong to evaluate the effects of the ‘Motie Limburgse Volkscultuur’ (‘Resolution popular culture in Limburg’). In 2011 the Limburg Parliament adopted this resolution in order to support a strong popular culture, which is one of the pillars of the provincial cultural policy. The research budget is €14,000.
Researchers: Joop de Jong, Ward Schoonbrood and Sandra van Helden. Sandra van Helden and Ward Schoonbrood are both graduates of the MA Art, Culture and Heritage.
