This collaborative webinar with LGA and University of Southampton will be hosted by CLOA Chair Donna Pentelow and will provide practical support for councils undertaking cultural strategies.

The session will feature an introduction to the context for the Cultural Strategies Think-kit from Ian Leete, Senior Adviser – Culture, Tourism and Sport at LGA.

Dan Ashton, Professor of Cultural and Creative Industries at University of Southampton, will introduce the Cultural Strategies and Futures research and how the recommendations from the report were developed through a community of practice into a Think Kit, which includes practical resources, tools and templates linked to various areas to focus on in developing and maintaining a cultural strategy.

This is a timely session for all those officers seeking to align culture with broader outcomes such as place, health and wellbeing and the environment through cultural strategies and compacts.  It will also be of relevance in preparing for devolution and reorganisation.
