It is sometimes easiest to understand definitions and relationships through the use of a metaphor. But because metaphors can also be taken too far, we offer this one as a guide only until it ceases to be useful.

Cultural Strategy 2021 to 2026 - Dorset Council

A culturally vibrant city must take risks. The citizens of Belfast have indicated that they are ready to challenge traditional mind-sets and take a culture-led leap into the future. Cultural, arts and heritage organisations have To engage with public sector, private sector, cultural sector and citizens in the ongoing development of cultural policies We know we are a work in progress. We believe that Belfast is a city imagining. Chapter 1:The story so far The long view The two Cultural Strategies are different from each other and will deliver on place-based priorities shaped around a predominantly rural area contrasting with a large conurbation. This strategy seeks to sustain cultural activity and increase cultural impact by building capacity at a citizen, sector and city level. Critical to this will be the development of stronger regional cultural networks (formal and informal connections and opportunities supported by local authorities) that will allow for deeper collaboration and partnership working between Belfast and other areas.invest in our cultural and creative sectors to develop the skills and capacity for production and innovation We are committed to delivering a cultural investment programme for the city. The purpose of this programme is to support the delivery of strategic priorities as set out in this document. These in turn will contribute to achieving the outcomes of the Belfast Agenda. The UK government responded to calls for cultural sector-specific support with the provision of the Culture Recovery Fund. Humanity faces the combined catastrophes of climate change, a mass extinction of vital biodiversity and a degradation of ecosystems health. A socio-economic impact study commissioned by Artsreach in 2019 estimated that the volunteer time to promote rural arts annually is 4,780 - the equivalent of an additional two and a half paid staff would be needed to deliver the programme without volunteer help.

Cultural Strategy – Culture is Our Plan 2021 – 2031

The Belfast Agenda sets out an ambitious vision for a city that is energised, vibrant and connected. The opportunity for this transformation is considerable, however, the challenges are significant. Each of these descriptors - energised, vibrant and connected - speak to specific cultural values. It is in this space that our artists and cultural players can lead in imagining this transformed city. Enforced closures and ongoing uncertainty about future funding and trading conditions have put our cultural venues at risk. Our year is designed to create a collective moment for the city. The programme does not have a final destination. If the purpose of this wider strategy is cultural transformation then the legacy of 2023 is that in activating a new sense of place we can find new senses of belonging. Kirklees is a district with a rich and diverse cultural heritage and future. Kirklees is home to a wide range of cultural organisations and businesses, who continually produce new work, develop new content and support relationships and communities across the district.

After getting a baseline and crafting a strategic point of view around the why, who, how, where and when of work, culture can then be periodically assessed. This leads to the reidentification of gaps and an opportunity for continuous process improvement. Much like other parts of the business, this strategic approach will ensure your culture isn’t merely an afterthought, but a core competitive advantage. And that’s a strategy any business should embrace. Created by a strong civic partnership led by Belfast City Council, the Belfast Agenda is our city’s first community plan. It sets a vision for 2035 that imagines a culturally vibrant city. Our cultural strategy sets out a series of priorities that have the potential to contribute significantly to all five outcomes of the Belfast Agenda. The connection between the local and the global is important. Belfast’s tourism industry is driven by a 21st century international trend where visitors seek authentic, local and cultural experiences. In many ways, this is the contemporary articulation of an age-old phenomenon. That people connect with people. That tourism by its very nature is cultural. A city exploring also recognises that as well as major infrastructure, marketing and investment the success of the visitor economy will be defined by storytelling.
