FCE theory was developed within neo-institutional theory, the aim of which is to understand how institutions
and organisations function and change. In this paper, we match this theory with another theoretical
tradition: that of action research. We use this theoretical framework to analyse and reflect upon
the SpARTathlo event in the Greek town of Sparta. We demonstrate how the framework enables
both a more multifaceted and more comprehensive understanding of the event, and how this has practical
implications for the improvement of such events.
