Culture Strategy for the Royal Borough of Greenwich 2024 – 2030

Many of you will already be aware that the Culture Strategy for the Royal Borough of Greenwich 2024 – 2030 was launched in August.


“This Culture Strategy provides a guide to help us achieve a significant step for arts and culture, and for our communities. It lays out our shared ambitions and how we can achieve great things together when we fully utilise our cultural strengths - our people, our stories and our places – to create a better future”


Two key points within the strategy stood out to members of the Greenwich CEP Steering Group

PARTCIPATION
“Support young people’s programmes to develop co-creation and participation on their own terms, as well as developing their skills and knowledge.”
 
CREATIVE ECONOMY  
“Bring our Higher Education institutions together and explore Cultural Education Partnerships to develop opportunities for both people in the industry and skill and talent development programmes for young people.”

We think it’s brilliant that there is now a strategy in place with a focus on the Children and Young People of Greenwich and more support for Creative and Cultural Organisations.

You can download the full strategy here: Royal Greenwich's Culture Strategy | Royal Borough of Greenwich
