Cultural Enabler

Circular Cultural Enabler

Description

Celebrating, enabling and promoting the unique social and cultural characteristics of Bega Valley Shire is central to the circularity program philosophy. Through this project, opportunities to reflect the arts, culture and history of the Shire within circularity projects will be explored. This will ground the program in the local community, showcase the breadth of local creative talent and generate employment for local artists. It will enrich tourism offerings across the Shire and contribute to increased understanding among disparate local communities.

Outcomes

• Local Economy – This project will complement the Bega Circular Valley Knowledge and Resource Enabler by generating a suite of opportunities to incorporate cultural elements in circularity projects. It will directly inform the scoping of flagship projects and feasibility analyses of the next tranche of circularity projects.
• Community – It will build on work already completed by BVSC, South East Arts and the Bega, Eden and Merrimans Local Aboriginal Land Councils.
• Awareness – It will help shape the vision and values of the Co-operative and Finance Fund and contribute directly to the narrative of the Bega Circular Valley Communication Strategy.
