Cornwall Council has launched a consultation on its bold new Cultural Strategy.
The draft strategy, which sets out an exciting vision to make Cornwall a place where creativity supports prosperity, regeneration, health and wellbeing for everyone, has been published on the Let’s Talk Cornwall today (March 13).
It focuses on five ambitions:
- helping everyone join in and enjoy culture
- supporting people into creative careers
- growing Cornwall’s economy
- improving our towns and villages through culture-led regeneration
- celebrating Cornwall’s unique culture, identity, language and heritage.
People can share their views about the strategy via the Let’s Talk Cornwall website. The responses will help shape the final version, which will be published this summer.
The Duchy’s creative sector contributes almost £300m to the Cornish economy and supports over 7,000 jobs.
From festivals and museums to creative workspaces and Cornish language initiatives, the Strategy commits to delivering quality, enjoyment, prosperity and wellbeing for Cornwall through culture and creativity.
Cllr Sarah Preece, cabinet member with responsibility for culture at Cornwall Council, said:
“We’re really excited to share this strategy which sets out how we will celebrate and promote our unique culture over the coming years.
“By telling our Nation’s story and building on our rich assets, infrastructure and partnerships, we will demonstrate how our cultural offer delivers for Cornwall, for the UK and beyond.”
The consultation runs from March 13 to April 24.
