Cultural intermediation is a set of processes that seek to get people involved in activities within the creative and cultural economy. This can encompass a wide range of activities from poetry coaching through training people with new IT skills, to outreach activities by a local museum. This project investigates these processes intending to find ways of improving their effectiveness, taking Birmingham and Manchester/Salford as case studies.
