  • Greater Manchester: Our Year in Culture 2018/2019
    GREATER MANCHESTER: OUR YEAR IN CULTURE 2018/2019 CONTENTS 1) INTRODUCTION 2) CULTURE AND SOCIAL IMPACT FUND 3) GREAT PLACE 4) LOOKING AHEAD INTRODUCTION Culture is essential to our identity in Greater Manchester. We have always understood the value of it here. In an ever-troubled and changing world, culture is a foundation in what it is to be Greater Mancunian, outward facing, welcoming and diverse; to express ourselves and forge our place in the world. Culture and creativity has become more prominent in our work over the last year than ever before. Sometimes, culture can be viewed as a ‘nice-to-have’, a ‘bolt-on’ but we take a different view in Greater Manchester; we see culture and creativity as fundamental to who we are, but also essential to the success of our economy and a key enabler for our residents to fulfil their full potential. The Independent Prosperity Review, the largest economic review we’ve undertaken in ten years, highlighted creativity and digital as key areas for economic growth in Greater Manchester, and we must build on this to see our economy and residents flourish. Whilst we can’t know what employment opportunities might look like in ten, 20 or 50 years, we can ensure that our residents have the creative skills necessary to adapt and develop to the jobs of the future. Equally, beyond Greater Manchester, our international reputation, and subsequent visitor economy, is driven by our position as a leading cultural destination. This report outlines how far we have come in the last year, and the hard work of the brilliant 28 organisations we fund through our Culture and Social Impact Fund.
