Building on the work of stakeholders
This process advances the recommendations of stakeholders who shaped emergency responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and who called for a longer-term strategy to support recovery.
A way forward
The codesign approach has been outlined in a Way Forward document.
This aims to shape better ways for the culture, arts and heritage sectors to be more fully recognised, harnessed and supported as key enablers of a thriving society. A codesign structure provides focal points to bring together insight and learning from across wider networks and sectoral interests:
- Culture, Arts and Heritage Strategy Taskforce
- Local Government Catalyst Group
- Central Government Catalyst Group
These groups will work together to include other voices, plans, research and perspectives informed by people, places and communities across the region.
Timeline
A recommended draft vision and strategy aims to be brought forward by Spring 2023 for subsequent wider public consultation.
