Best Practices (an incomplete annex)
This Annexe to Young People’s Addendum to the Porto Santo Charter — Caldas da Rainha/ Loulé, although incomplete, presents concrete examples that illustrate the above recommendations. It aims to provide practical and inspiring insights into how the guidelines of the Charter can be effectively implemented in different contexts and scales. We believe that these references will serve as inspiration and guidance for future actions and projects in line with the outlined objectives.

Tell those in charge
Abstract
This Transdisciplinary Report is published in the context of the Youth Addendum to the Porto Santo Charter, as a support document which summarises and integrates the proposals of the young people who took part in the ‘Tell those in Charge’ consultation method. After implementing this method of listening to young representatives across 10 European countries, 23 reports emerged, offering the young people’s perspective on what culture is and how their peers can ignite it.
The collected data was viewed as a unique sample representing diverse youth living in Europe and was systematically organised and categorised to achieve actionable insights. This data was then categorised into the three scales of the Porto Santo Charter, as well as in different analytical dimensions, which served to build a critical and interpretative analysis of young people’s proposals.
The process involved a sociodemographic characterization of the participants and an analysis of their concepts of culture. Then their own positions regarding culture were explored, and the barriers to and promoters of cultural participation that young people recognise from their experiences were identified. Finally, the recommendations presented in the reports were systematised and analysed, enabling their organisation into concrete (actions) and abstract (proposals) recommendations.
