4.6b Which interventions and delivery approaches are the most successful at targeting specific local needs as part of cultural events that lead to long standing benefits to places and communities? ‘What works’ at different scales of need, e.g. cities, towns and villages?
Background
DCMS supports a number of cultural events, for example UK City of Culture. We are interested in understanding how we can, through these interventions, effectively target local needs and maximise long-term impact, including addressing specific community needs and supporting development of local infrastructure and cultural assets. We also want to better understand ‘what works’ at different levels of urban scale and how participation and physical engagement can be most effectively forecast. We need to understand the best approaches for stakeholders to engage with each other to secure support and possible funding for cultural events, and how the international outlook of event programmes can be developed.
