О ПРОГРАММЕ: 

The research report investigates Armenia’s Cultural and Creative Industries, exploring both the economic impact of this sector on things like employment and national GDP, as well as if and how the country’s infrastructure supports the sector. The report contains information gathered through focus group discussions and one-on-one interviews with representatives from various cultural and creative industries in Armenia. These representatives include artists, designers, musicians, filmmakers, architects, and other creatives, as well as museum professionals, book publishers, journalists, and advertising executives, among others. The report also contains data gathered through a customized survey we designed to assess prevalent industry issues concerning intellectual property rights, the shipping and exporting of cultural goods, online marketplaces for cultural products, participation in international arts fairs and expos, and hosting local cultural events.
In addition to gathering the Organisation's own information, AGBU Armenia also analyzed data provided by ArmStat, the country’s official body for gathering data on residents and the nation.

The primary objectives of this report include:
- Evaluating the current state of Armenia’s Cultural and Creative Industries.
- Understanding the sector’s needs and challenges for development.
- Proposing solutions to address the obstacles and barriers to its growth.

Another key goal is making this information accessible and interesting to a broader public- both by using more accessible language and AGBU Armenia hopes also through engaging design not usually typical of research reports, but also in alignment with its branding guidelines.
An additional component may be included in the report with some consultation with the designer, that includes photographic documentation of the sector and its representatives.
