Culture Connects: mapping UK Ireland arts & cultural connections: Webinar: 19th March Join us on 19th March from 12-1pm (GMT) for an online webinar on our upcoming research: Culture Connects: mapping UK Ireland arts & cultural connections . This webinar will present an opportunity to virtually launch and disseminate this new research by British Council Ireland. Researchers Jane Morrow and Amberlea Neely of Starling Start will present findings and reflections from the research which explores UK Ireland arts and cultural connections. There will also be an opportunity for audience members to ask questions. The webinar will be relevant to anyone working in the cultural or creative industries particularly in the UK and Ireland, or individual artists, practitioners or researchers in this area. To register for the webinar https://lnkd.in/e-Cys2q3 About the Research The research combines survey responses with interviews, a desktop literature review of policy, and mapping of available data in recent arts and cultural connection between the UK and Ireland. We are gathering insights from both individual practitioners and organisational representatives across the artforms of literature, music, theatre, dance, visual arts and multi-disciplinary practice as well as those engaged in creative and cultural work. Our overall goal is to understand how to foster greater connectivity, mutual understanding, and stronger relationships in the arts / cultural sectors between UK and Ireland. The study will comprise a mixed methods study - analysing quantitative data in addition to a series of semi-structured interviews with artists and key cultural stakeholders in the UK and Ireland. The research aims to do the following: Capture the connections between the UK and Ireland in arts and culture. Understand geographic specificity and attraction across the UK and Ireland. Explore the motivations (and barriers) associated with this attraction. Generate recommendations for the type of interventions, initiatives or supports that could create, or enhance, mobility and connection across the UK and Ireland. It will be of interest to government agencies, policy makers, analogue organisations, resource agencies and arts and cultural practitioners along with those interested in arts and culture in a UK Ireland context. https://lnkd.in/evbWd3sc

Today, a new study has revealed that the Liverpool City Region is still reaping the rewards of hosting Eurovision 2023, with repeat visitors contributing an additional £11.1m to the local economy over the past year! Evaluating impact is crucial, and as we reflect on Eurovision’s legacy, it’s just as important to look ahead. I recently spoke with Spirit of 2012 about how we develop our event strategy and shape the future of events in the Liverpool City Region. Watch below, and relive Eurovision with this blog: https://bit.ly/4h84C1K Liverpool City Council | Liverpool City Region Combined Authority | Culture Liverpool
This is Developing Events Strategies - a fresh look at local and regional events strategies and how (as well as why) to put them together. When they are delivered well, events can play a key role in forging identity, reflecting a positive, confident and ambitious vision of a place and its people. We take a deep dive into two of the UK's premier events cities - Glasgow & Liverpool - to look at what they've done to ensure events resonated at a local level and successfully delivered benefits to communities.
