Agenda item

The Committee received a verbal update on the Culture Strategy, noting the following points:

-        Terms of Reference for Strategy proposals were approved in December 2024 and the consultation is currently ongoing;

-        Audience analysis projects are also being commissioned; and

-        A decision is expected to be reached by the end of January 2025. 

The meeting noted the fruitful deliberations of the December 2024 strategy workshop, noting also the need to carefully map resource allocations to any sub-group to further the formulation and execution of the strategy. 

The Committee reiterated its strong interest in being involved in the development of the culture strategy around clarification of the scope and remit of any consultation, including involvement in pre-contract discussions with consultants, that would potentially entail Member representation at the project clarification and scope stage.
