With more than 2 decades of experience in experimenting with artist-led interventions at the core of various policy agendas from social inclusion to regeneration, we are now firmly established as the organisation in Scotland providing training and learning in cultural planning methodology.
In Scotland and elsewhere, at neighbourhood, city, regional and national levels, there is a growing realisation that culture can deliver on many aspects of community engagement, empowerment and leadership.
The policy framework for implementing integrated cultural projects and schemes is still relatively underdeveloped, however, with local authorities and community regeneration bodies still locked into a logic that sees culture as an add on to existing programmes.
The Cultural Planning Approach has emerged over the last twenty years (mainly from the United States and Australia) as a successful way of enabling policy-makers to think strategically about the application of the cultural rescources of localities and the delivery of policies capable of responding to local needs in a flexible way.
Fablevision has pioneered this methodology in Scotland and, whilst we
continue to support community based partners to make the most of their
cultural resources (like Bura award winning Royston Road Project), we
are nowdelivering
training and action learning to local authorities, community planning
partnerships and housing associations throughout the country.
