Cultural Strategy 2018-2027 | Milton Keynes MK Creative and Cultural Strategy 2018-2027 | Milton Keynes

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 haveWe now know that we have gained much wisdom through the extreme experiences of living in our city. We are proud of the place we call home and our doors are open. To help take forward this theme, we will engage creative facilitators, citizens and our cultural partners in a co-design process that will reach into all areas of Belfast. This will involve getting into the extraordinary ordinary spaces of people’s lives - living rooms, shopping centres, bus stops, taxi cabs and classrooms.

If we recognise the role of our cultural partners as collaborators and innovators, we should not approach the relationship with predetermined demands and precast solutions. The principle of reciprocity involves an open dialogue on the contribution of culture and creativity to all aspects of life in the city. 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. Richly ornate: this industrial powerhouse of the 19th and early 20th centuries has lavish facades and gorgeous interiors - not just the grand civic buildings but its pubs and cafés and hotels. And rich in culture, talent and creativity: with our history of making things, our extraordinary street art, our live music scene, our sporting legends and our unique dialect that helps give this city its different sound. Belfast’s long been home to creators who dare to dream - industrial designers and innovators, technicians and craftspeople, as well as artists, writers and poets, music and film-makers. Enabling a sense of belonging and sense of place through cultural participation to help encourage a strong civic identity that people can share and celebrate. Imagine an inclusive city where everyone actively participates in cultural life To nurture the creative economy we will attract new business and investment by increasing opportunities to engage in creative enterprise and the local cultural offer.Belfast City Council is committed to taking forward a City Compact and to working with our partners to deliver the strategic priorities set out in this Strategy. The purpose of this model is also to support a more joined up approach to investment in culture across both the public and private sectors. This will include those partners working in a range of areas including health and well-being, education, regeneration and business. For many people the city already has a thriving cultural scene including high quality sporting facilities and excellent examples of natural and built heritage. However, a vision of cultural inclusivity must push out to connect to all dimensions of cultural life including engagement, programming, accessibility, participation, audiences, volunteering and employment.
