Stories of change
Welcome to Stories — the narrative heart of the EXCENTRIC project. This section brings to life the project’s core mission: to empower cultural organisations with smart, data-driven tools developed collaboratively and tailored to real-world needs. Here, we present the project’s objectives through the voices and experiences of those making it happen.
Get to know the pilots as they share updates, reflections, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into their transformation journeys. These blog-style entries offer a grounded, human perspective on what it means to implement collaborative data strategies in cultural ecosystems, and how innovation unfolds across diverse European contexts.
What we’re building together
EXCENTRIC was designed with a clear purpose: to support the cultural sector in adapting to a digital, data-driven world — without losing its human soul. Each objective contributes to building a fairer, more connected ecosystem for culture in Europe.
Co-design & testing of tools
We create digital tools with cultural actors — not just for them — ensuring real-world relevance and usability.
Empowering cultural actors
We support professionals on the ground with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to lead digital change.
Data literacy
We help the sector make sense of data, turning it into a tool for creativity, inclusion and growth.
Policy recommendations
We translate local experiences into concrete proposals to inspire smarter, more supportive cultural policies.
Breaking silos
We connect disciplines, regions and perspectives — because collaboration drives meaningful innovation.
