The University of Southampton has strong links with the city’s artistic and cultural sector. However, the independent cultural organisations do not have high quality records of their many interconnections, nor a good model of the effects of their activities.
As part of the University’s Connecting Culture program, we were commissioned to create a modification of our Outreach Activity Mapper software to track artistic & cultural activities targeted at young people within the city of Southampton. This will enable research into the city’s existing provision, and the impact it has on children and young people.
