Cultural Theme Group
Our vision is simple: 'A county with safe, cohesive, healthy and
inclusive communities, a strong and diverse economy and a valued
and cherished environment'.
Culture is fundamental to quality of life, sense of place, and a
flourishing County. Moreover, people's understanding of a place is
shaped by its unique cultural character. Culture is so much part of
the choices people make every day that its sometimes easy to forget
that our cultural life needs to be planned, resourced, championed,
sustained and debated.
Worcestershire has outstanding natural, cultural and historic
assets, including Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
Worcester Cathedral, the birthplace of Edward Elgar and Motion
Analysis Research & Rehabilitation Centre at University of
Worcester. The County has experienced and committed cultural
organisations, as well as a strong tradition of participation.
Above all, there are creative imaginative, and passionate people
working in every field of culture, with more and more of them
achieving great success.
Through the Cultural Theme Group, the cultural sector can share
its priorities, improve what it does, and help raise the cultural
aspirations of everyone in the region. To deliver the defined
outcomes during the life of the Cultural Strategy, the cultural
sector must work with key partners on the right actions. It is this
work which will drive our County to a new place – a place of
choice, where culture is at the centre of everyone's life.
