Enlace Participativo de Projetos com Fomentos e Políticas Públicas para Museus Comunitários

Abstract

Community museums face difficulties to ensure economic and financial sustainability, it is necessary to build entrepreneurial technical projects and establish strategies for attracting investments. From the point of view of the promoters of museological units in Brazil, there is a deficient capillarity to meet the specialties of Brazilian regionalities, dispersion of investments and discontinuity of public policies. Seeking to contribute with strategies to solve the issues raised, a research was carried out, using the Vila Museum (MUV) as a cutout, whose objective was to support the link in a participatory way of the demand for projects with the offer of funds and public policies. The work associated exploratory, bibliographic and documentary research in cyberspace with elements of participatory action research, specifically questionnaires, interviews and knowledge construction workshops, with the promotion of meetings between projects and with developers in the Matchmaking environment. The results point to the construction of a financing and promotion program with (5) five goals, (11) eleven strategies and (19) nineteen actions for the MUV. The investigation instituted an educational process for projects in the area of social innovation, inserting social entrepreneurship, associated with the opening of a dialogue channel between applicants and funders, seeking to build a relationship between the institutions involved. The work leaves as a product an e- book with prospection of 167 (one hundred and sixty-seven) potential funding sources for museums in the areas of social innovation, culture, environment, socio- productive inclusion and food sovereignty. Finally, the research contributed to the process of democratization of access to information, highlighting the need for diagnosis, planning, improvement of projects, survey of funding sources and links between museum institutions and developers, with a view to contributing to the strengthening of the museology and social innovation.
