Liverpool ONE is the destination for shopping, entertainment, and dining, not just in Liverpool, but in the entire North West. Interwoven into the city, it seamlessly connects the contemporary commercial districts with Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. The three levels of the development feature a range of high street brands such as Apple, Swarovski, and Urban Outfitters. However, many brands are not content with regular sized stores.

After a major investment of approximately £20million for the facilities, curriculum and general support, LIPA was officially opened by The Queen in June 1996. Since then the university has regularly been among the top ten rankings for specialist institutions, and has even been voted number one in the UK for a number of its offered degree courses. According to UCAS, the university received 5,225 applications for the academic year 2010/11, of which only 208 applicants were then accepted, leading to an overall acceptance rate of 4%.

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: .
