Is it possible to use 'carry out' here with regard to 'participative experiences' or would another verb be more appropriate?

organized/funded/supported/made possible etc.
What about one of these? Given your context, I would go for something like "organized by the centre (using/and supported/funded by the centre)" or whatever kind of funding these "subvenci'ones" are, or why not "funded by grants/subsidies (awarded to/by the centre depending on context)" "made possible by (centre) funding"... Something like that might work for you?
If nothing else, some more ideas for the pot! :)

: In this case, where we have the word "experiences, maybe not. I think that "to carry out an experience" sounds dodgy.

If you want an alternative... (I'm in the middle of a text which seems to use llevar a cabo and tener en cuenta in every single sentence!) I know it's not exactly the same, but it sometimes does OK.

(avoid)
I usually try to avoid translating this verb (and "desarollar", "realizar", etc.) as it often sounds awkward in English. How about using the (equally awkward) "participativa" as a verb rather than an adjective?
Example sentence:
...evaluate their experience of taking part/being involved in the Centre's grants
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
mjsmyth
: depending on the nature of the evaluation: ... assess the (participation)/(experience of participants in) activities funded by the Centre

sounds neat IMO... "engaging in participative experiences" ... sort of like kudoz... :-)

And I'll give myself extra points since it's not in AA's list of synonyms!

to complete
Carry out is also good but llevar al cabo definitely implies completion of a project. Think of the common term 'se acabo' - which means 'it's finished' or 'it's over'.
