Innovate
Developing original and creative ideas, encouraging creative leadership and supporting skills and learning.
Success is dependent upon initiating and embracing innovation, and creating the space for experimentation. With the growth of new communities and creative clusters throughout Kent, it is vital that we encourage and nurture creative ideas.
Facilitating experimentation and linking with Kent’s world class research institutions and universities will support growth and skills development. Leadership and learning are key to innovation and we will nurture new talent, new ideas and a highly skilled workforce.
We will...
- Pursue investment opportunities to enable cross-sector collaboration and risk taking.
- Encourage growth of creative clusters.
- Support new formats and mediums for cultural production and experiences.
- Support existing creative leaders and inspire those of the future.
- Work with our outstanding education institutions, further developing research and innovation.
- Promote cultural learning with improved careers guidance and vocational learning opportunities to develop employability, social and creative skills.
- Embrace advances in technology as essential components of the cultural landscape, and maximise their creative potential as artistic tools.
- Enable children and young people to become respected as commissioners, curators and producers of culture as much as they are audiences and participants.
- Seek new opportunities for the interpretation and marketing of our heritage assets.
