Cultural development
The Cultural Framework ‘Our Wonderful Life’ guides the cultural directions for the organisation and especially the Cultural Development team.
Our Wonderful Life contains a diverse range of objectives and strategies that celebrate the great things about living in Newcastle, builds on the breadth of current creative activity and addresses issues of community well being, participation, diversity, acceptance and identity.
