Part Five:
Next Steps
From here, the Culture Commons team will be working with our programme partners – and hopefully you – to put these recommendations into action.
We’re already working with:
- Several combined authorities across England to explore how our recommendation for an enhanced cultural devolution deal with the UK Government might work in practice.
- British Council and others to scope and develop our recommendation for an International Network on Cultural Devolution.
- Multiple local authorities and universities in Scotland to explore the potential to implement our recommendation for pan-regional governance mechanisms.
- A combined authority in England to bring our recommendation for a Culture Forum to life in their area.
- A major research institute to scope our recommendation for a new National Data Observatory.
- Cultural sector leaders in Wales to consider how our recommendation for a new UK-wide taxonomy for cultural infrastructure might be spearheaded in Wales.
- If you or your organisation would like to a member of the Culture Commons team to come and share the findings and policy thinking from this work with your members, networks or wider sector, please get in touch with us at contact@culturecommons.uk
We are particularly interested to hear from organisations who are keen to collaborate with us to put these recommendations into action.
