WMCA Cultural Officers Group update
David Furmage provided an updated on key points:
- Given that the WMCA Board approved the strategic priorities for culture, the next steps will involve developing focused actions around these. This work will be led by COG which will closely involve CLB in this process. The initial plans include creating matrix to map the four areas and actions on impacts and costs
As a reminder, the strategic priorities were:
- Support cultural sector recovery and growth postCovid-19
- Increase participation and to make sure the benefits of cultural participation are highlighted
- Focus on placemaking to harness the potential of culture to play a key role in transforming to the region
- Promote the West Midlands as the best place to work and live
COG will continue to update CLB with refined list for input and suggestions.
Action:
- COG to update CLB
