Impulse, incubate, develop!
…… cultural channels
Discover the power of cooperation. When knowledge and skills are shared to support cultural industries in a sustainable and mutually supportive way.
Synergies
Collective strength,
Limitless imagination
One of the distinctive features of the independent arts and culture scene is that it actively works behind the scenes to innovate. These innovations are both artistic and in terms of modes and methods of action.
At Coin Coin Productions, we love encounters, mixing and hybridization in all their forms, and place them at the heart of our creative approach.
We believe in the collective strength and boundless imagination of players in the cultural sector. That’s why we initiate, incubate and develop original projects.
Discover our projects, research & the experiments we’re working on, the disciplines we’re crossing and the thinking we’re doing. Social sciences, humanities, music, new technologies – this is the place where everything intertwines to create the new.
What do these projects have in common?
Cooperation between several players to create schemes, initiatives or structures designed to contribute to the development of the cultural sector, with the general interest and solidarity at the heart.
Participation in university research
Coin Coin Productions is a test structure for a survey on measuring the social impact of SSE organizations.
Produced by the Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) department at Lyon 2 University, following a commission from Fonda (a non-profit organization that conducts research on the associative world); Avise (national portal for SSE development); and Labo de l’ESS (research center).
The aim of the analysis was to provide ” a forward-looking approach to measuring the social impact ” of SSE organizations. Coin Coin Productions took part in the first exploratory phase of the scheme set up by these three organizations, which involves “analyzing practices reported by players in the field […] characterizing the advantages and limitations of existing methods, and beginning to identify future challenges for social impact measurement.”
