Webinar “Cultural Planning – Growing Communities”

On 26th January 2024, Turning the Tide partners organised a webinar with title “Cultural Planning – Growing Communities” with Lia Ghilardi and Dr Liz Gardiner (Moderator)

The webinar was focused on exploring the relationship between cultural mapping and cultural planning and the speakers explored the fascinating concept of cultural mapping that uncovers hidden resources in a place with a view to incorporating them into future plans.

We had the honor to have Lia Ghilardi, a distinguished cultural planner in Europe, as our esteemed speaker for this session. Lia’s presentation led to a Q&A session, moderated by Liz Gardiner.

* ”What defines cultural planning?”
* ”How does it manifest in diverse contexts?”
* ”What interplay exists between cultural mapping and cultural planning?”
* ”Can cultural mapping amplify the impact of artist residencies within constrained time frames?”
* ”How does the cultural mapping approach redefine a locale’s image and empower local stakeholders to assume leadership in their communities?”
* ”What influence does this method have on policy makers and planners?”

This webinar was tailored for individuals and professionals with a keen interest in cultural planning, including Artists and Socially Engaged Practitioners, Cultural Planners and Professionals, Urban Planners, Policy Makers, Community Leaders and Stakeholders.
