2023 - Ár gcuid oibre i líon
Our Company Strategy 2019 to 2024 identified the five goals of Engage, Experiment, Learn, Share and Embed; that we would work with, through and for the people of Dublin to achieve.
Within the Strategy we built in clear measurables against each goal to monitor and evaluate our work. Our evaluation framework used a core of common questions across all programmes and buildings to participants, visitors and audience members along with culture makers and our partners. Through this evaluation framework we consistently checked our delivery of the five goals on a qualitative and quantitative basis over the five years.
Here is a summary of what we achieved:
From 2019 to 2024, Dublin City Council Culture Company operated 1 museum, 1 cultural community centre, and since 2021 produced an annual festival of history. Across Dublin City, on a continuous citywide basis, we delivered 14 programmes in the areas of cultural heritage, creative engagement, oral history, cultural data and mapping, history, cultural participation and audience development.
675,444 people actively engaged with us through our buildings and programmes as participants, visitors and audience members. This participation involved them making something creative, joining a conversation, taking part in a cultural experience or attending a curated series of workshops and talks that responded directly to their interests and curiosity.
We worked together in 1,792 partnerships with community and cultural organisations and issued 1,998 contracts to artists, historians and cultural makers to deliver these collaborations.
Our programmes delivered 6,131 creative workshops, creative residencies, cultural events and fairs.
We recorded 18,626 digital and paper feedback surveys from participants, artists, visitors and cultural partners and captured 327 project and programme evaluation reports with our team, cultural facilitators and partners.
We had 1,466,691 visitors to our 3 websites. We recorded 456 features or items of national press, media and broadcast coverage of our programmes and buildings.
