Valletta participation survey

Abstract

The Valletta Participation Survey (VPS) is a population survey with its main objective being that of capturing data related to cultural activities regarding Valletta 2018 events. It is one of the statistical tools that are used by the Valletta 2018 Foundation to monitor and evaluate the strategy that is being used for the 2018 European Capital of Culture, mainly the general public response on the activities that are being organised by the Valletta 2018 Foundation. The survey was carried out for the first time in 2014 and then followed by five other waves in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. One of the main scopes of these surveys and the time series data that they are providing is that of shedding light on the areas that were tackled by the Foundation strategy and to evaluate its progress. The survey covers areas related to cultural activities mainly held in Valletta during different times of the year. Other questions are related to the perception that the general public has on the events organised by the Valletta 2018 Foundation and on the current attitude towards Valletta in general and the general attitude of the public towards Valletta as the European Capital of Culture 2018.
