This contribution presents selected findings from the research project Cultural Welfare Ecosystems for Wellbeing: Mapping Semantics and Practices, Co-designing Tools, and Raising Awareness, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR) and by NextGenerationEU, and coordinated by the University of Bologna (Principal Investigator: Roberta Paltrinieri). Within this broader framework, the local research unit of the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, under the scientific coordination of Laura Gemini, has developed an experimental line of inquiry dedicated to the relationship between digital technologies and participatory artistic practices.

More specifically, the project investigates the role of instant messaging platforms—such as WhatsApp—as qualitative research tools and as spaces for observation, reflection, and co-design within cultural welfare ecosystems. The analysis focuses on four case studies conducted in the Marche Region.

Participants: Laura Gemini, Lorenzo Giannini, Francesca Giuliani, Chiara Spaggiari.
