More The trial is also fea- tured in an online article by BBC Medical Correspondent Fergus Walsh here. A number of online articles about the trial have since been published including the Daily Mail and Marie Claire. Liverpool welcomes Prof Dan Palmer The Centre is delighted to introduce Professor Dan Palmer, Liverpool University’s new Chair of Medical Oncology. Pro- fessor Palmer took up post in April 2011 and is based in the Dept of Surgery and Oncology. “ My research interests relate to HPB cancers (pancreas, liver and biliary tract) and incorporate basic laboratory sci- ence, translational research and clinical trials. The rele- vance of this to Liverpool is that my research maps on to the already hugely successful pancreas cancer research portfolio that Professor Neoptolemos and the team have established here. In terms of the ‘added value’ my research brings, this will largely be in the form of the development of novel drug and immunotherapies for these cancers, with pre-clinical laboratory testing followed by an active early phase clinical trial programme, again taking advantage of the already excel- lent infrastructure here in terms of labs, the Pancreas Biomedical Research Unit, the Liverpool ECMC, the Liverpool Cancer Trials Unit and, of course, the CRUK Centre.

Opinions vary about this, but numerous examples of successful online media campaigns abound, such as Barack Obama‟s use of social media during the US Presidential campaign. Today, other governments are quick to utilise similar environments, and 10 Downing Street has accounts with both YouTube and Flickr, the popular websites used for video and photo sharing respectively. Additionally, marketing and communications departments in business, industry, the arts and the media are rapidly re-organising their strategies around the rise of digital convergence and in light of evidence that demonstrates the decline (or fragmentation) of mass media audiences. These circumstances are pertinent to the hosting of European Capital of Culture by Liverpool in 2008. In short, if we want to understand how audiences were engaged during 2008, we need to complement a range of surveys and reporting with analyses of online activity, which have the potential to reflect both broader media perspectives and the views of people on the street.

Contents Introduction 06 Part 1 Creative Health and Well-being Programme 12 Part 2 One-to-one. The interviews 32 Part 3 The Big Conversation 54 01 State of the Art: Creative Health Talks – Voices from Creative Health and Well-being Stakeholders. Liverpool, European Capital of Culture 2008. Opening Comments There is overwhelming evidence that culture in its widest sense; the arts, sport and community, contributes to health and well-being. I have argued for a few years that not only does culture have this effect but that that is its purpose. I have a rather stern colleague who maintains that “the plural of anecdote is not evidence”, it can be when we work out whose evidence matters. This is not to knock fundamental research because it is important, but when we want to know the benefit of an activity it makes sense to ask the beneficiaries. That is what this report does and what a story it tells! One of the joys of the last year for me has been the perpetual feedback from people participating in events about how joyful, fulfilled and moved they have been. Gladly I don’t have to appreciate this second hand only. I have been uplifted, thrilled and enthused by so many things. My son’s initial reluctance to see the “La Machine” – the giant spider, and then his entreaties to be allowed to stay and see her progress around the city, will stick in my mind.

The project explored the way various stakeholders were involved in Liverpool ECoC and their perceptions of Liverpool ECoC‟s influence and impact on the city and their organisation or institution, as well as discussing their thoughts on the future of Liverpool following the end of the ECoC year. The research involved interviews with many individuals and organisations from three main groups, chiefly local developers and investors involved in regenerating the city centre, and those working in the statutory and the voluntary sectors within the city (including the major religious groups in Liverpool). This work complements interviews conducted with other event stakeholders, such as Liverpool ECoC sponsors and representatives from the city‟s maintained arts sector and creative industries, which are reported elsewhere.1 The research findings of this report can be summed up in three central themes: .

  • Liverpool Outing Notes for Participants
    Ilkley & District u3a SUMMER PROGRAMME 2021 Some notes for those participating in the visit to LIVERPOOL on 22 July. Postcodes are included so that if you wish you can orientate yourself on your phone using Google maps. The CITY of LIVERPOOL Liverpool stands on the eastern side of the Mersey estuary, where the river flows into the Irish sea. It became a borough in 1207, a city in 1880 and an independent borough apart from Lancashire in 1889. Throughout the Industrial Revolution Liverpool grew as a major port and the city expanded (see Old Dock tour below). In the 19th century Liverpool was a major port of departure for English and Irish emigrants to North America. Modern Liverpool has a population of 500,000 in 30 council wards (yes, Knotty Ash is a real place!). The city is closely associated with the arts, especially music. ALBERT DOCK L3 4AF At the beginning of the 19th century 40% of global trade passed through Liverpool’s docks. Albert Dock was opened by Prince Albert in 1846. Its enclosed design and direct loading and unloading of goods from warehouses meant that the complex was more secure than other docks. It became a popular store for valuable cargoes including brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. Today the former warehouses contain new museums, shops, bars and restaurants. FERRY ‘CROSS THE MERSEY L3 1HN The return trip from the Pierhead takes 50 minutes and costs £3.70. It provides fine views of Liverpool’s UNESCO World Heritage waterfront, often with the iconic song by Gerry Marsden & the Pacemakers playing in the background.

Impacts 08 commissioned Base Line Research and Survey to conduct in-depth interviews and an on-line survey of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) within Liverpool and Merseyside‟s visitor economy. The research was undertaken in two phases: between July and September 2007; and between January and May 2009. Both phases gathered responses from a range of key informants including tourism SME business representatives. Knowledge and experience of the Liverpool ECoC Before 2008 . Knowledge of Liverpool ECoC varied between businesses. Some, having been involved in preparatory discussions and activities, were well informed, and most others were aware of much that was going on. A minority of firms knew very little of the preparations. Several businesses spoke positively of Glasgow‟s experience as European City of Culture and hoped (or indeed expected) that Liverpool and Merseyside would similarly benefit from 2008 and its consequences.
