Your views on culture and development needed
The Commonwealth Foundation's Culture and Diversity programme invites you to shape and influence its future work on culture, development and cultural policy.
Ahead of next year's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) and Commonwealth People's Forum (CPF) in Trinidad and Tobago, the Foundation is seeking to develop its understanding of how culture is linked to development. It wants to facilitate real and meaningful dialogue between the governments and civil societies of Commonwealth member states on culture and development.
As part of this ongoing research, the Culture and Diversity programme is asking several thousand representatives from key culture and development organisations across the Commonwealth, as well as independent individuals, for their responses. Participants who would like to give more extended feedback have the opportunity to do so.
The results of the questionnaire will be aggregated and analysed in a short summary document which will be made available on our website and sent to all participants.
The consultative process also plays a significant role in a larger research project, Putting Culture First, which is being carried out this year by the Culture and Diversity programme. This major report, expected to inform approaches to culture, development and cultural policy ahead of next year's CHOGM and CPF, will be published in November 2008.
