Cultural Strategy: Using Innovative Ideologies to Build Breakthrough Brands

Product Information

The cultural, social and economic impacts of events cut across all areas of the Belfast Agenda. The decision to bid for the European Capital of Culture indicated that there is a desire to enhance the quality and ambition of the cultural offer in Belfast through closer partnerships within the city, across the region and internationally. We are starting from a strong position. However, from this foundation we must commit to a long-term and strategic approach to events that supports the wider ambitions of this strategy. Despite the richness of Belfast’s cultural offer and a number of significant successes in recent years, the city has not yet established itself as an events destination. What the city has demonstrated is the potential to be different, authentic and distinctly Belfast. Events can challenge and articulate a city’s diverse identity and personality. Public engagement must underpin our city’s new approach to developing events and festivals. Successful cities of culture have shown that investment in homegrown talent has long-term and measurable impacts. This strategy has been driven by thousands of conversations. Success will be defined by our willingness and capacity as a city to turn these conversations into action and to take shared responsibility for delivering a vision for culture in Belfast. Agenda 21 for Culture This new strategy will play a key part in the recovery of our sector. It will not only inform how Dorset Council will support the sector in the future, but it will set out a united direction forculture in our county for other stakeholders, funders, cross sector partners, Parish and Town Councils, organisations and individuals. Encouraging environmental responsibility and resilience by understanding and adapting cultural behaviours. Cultural vibrancy will be essential to ensuring we meet our ambitious target to significantly increase the number of people living in the city centre. It will also be crucial to the sustainable evolution

What is a shared theory of change? position Belfast as an international testing ground for new approaches to cultural engagement, development and placemaking Over the centuries, Dorset’s landscapes have inspired poets, authors, scientists and artists, many of whom have left a rich legacy of cultural associations. The best known of these is writer Thomas Hardy who was born and lived most of his life in the county. Many of the major themes in his work, the characters and the landscapes they inhabit, are drawn from the Dorset countryside. These museums work collectively with the assistance of the South West Museum Development Programme and the Dorset Museums Association to mentor each other and improve their offer to the public.

The UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) aims to strengthen cooperation with and among cities that have recognised creativity as a strategic factor of sustainable development with regard to social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects. Member cities come from diverse regions and work towards a common mission: placing creativity and cultural industries at the core of their urban development plans to make their cities safe, resilient, inclusive and sustainable. Priorities under this theme will facilitate and explore new ways of working, taking more risks and helping artists to have more autonomy to engage with citizens in new and creative ways. 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. Transforming under-used public spaces into vibrant and diverse cultural destinations. Imagine a diverse city with vibrant public and cultural spacesOur aim is to develop a Belfast portfolio of festivals and events. This will consist of up to five signature and 12 growth events each year. It will also include continued investment in smaller festivals. City partners will work together to bid to secure a major event once every five years. Our approach will also consider the potential for a series of homegrown events such as a year of culture in 2023, to deliver the same level of impact as an external international event. Investment in major events should consider connection to the city’s cultural narrative and longterm contribution to infrastructure as well as any short-term economic impact. contribute to placemaking by using public spaces in innovative ways to shape identity, regenerate the city and tell new stories Dorset is famous for its locally produced food and drink and this continues to be a big draw for tourists.
