The second webinar in the series Reset 2021: Policy, Practice and the Arts hosted by? BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 Institute for Arts and Humanities (SIAH) will be held on? Thursday 13 May at 14:00. The series examines key policy challenges of the post-2020 world, exploring the role of arts and humanities in contributing evidence to assist in making complex policy decisions.
Lessons for coastal communities?brings politicians, policymakers and academics together to ask:
- What lessons can our region learn from culture-led solutions to regional challenges from the experiences of other coastal communities?
- What national lessons can be learnt from our region?
The ‘levelling up’ agenda is often framed in terms of North vs South, but in recent years many coastal and river-bank communities in the UK have undergone culture-led regeneration. Those projects often introduced internationally recognised art and architecture to attract new consumers and investors, hoping for a trickle-down effect to benefit local communities. In the context of the South Coast, this webinar asks how regeneration can be done differently, positioning a range of heritage and cultural activities as elements of social infrastructure crucial for sustainable growth.
Bob Seely, MP for the Isle of Wight, will be chairing the panel with:
- Ian Leete, from Local Government Association
- Alison Smith, a culture and heritage sector professional
- Matthew Mckeague, the CEO of the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF)
