A Culture Strategy for Scotland - Culture Conversations

Overview

This resource pack contains background information, key questions and a feedback form which can be used to host a Culture Conversation which will shape the development of A Culture Strategy for Scotland. The Scottish Government is at the early stages of developing the Strategy and as part of the engagement phase we are having conversations with individuals, artists, cultural organisations, communities and other sectors across Scotland. These conversations are helping to support the development of a strategy that will set out a vision and priorities for culture in Scotland.

We are developing a rolling programme of public discussions to help as many people as possible take part in shaping the Strategy over the next few months. Some of the events will be supported directly by the Scottish Government, and some will be attended by Scottish Ministers. Others will be held by organisations and groups across the country.

Culture means different things to different people. There are many cultures in Scotland and many ways to create and take part in culture. We also know that not everyone has the same opportunity to take part in or contribute to cultural life in Scotland. That is why it is important that we work together to engage with as many people as possible, so that the voices, views and experiences of many are reflected in the Strategy. To achieve this we are asking individuals, organisations, networks and community groups across Scotland to host their own Culture Conversations.
