At the finale the IFACCA 5th World Summit on Arts & Culture, Alan Davey, IFACCA Chair and Chief Executive of Arts Council England remarked that his head was spinning. He wasn’t the only one. Though it seemed from all the anecdotal comments and feedback to have been a highly successful summit there was indeed a great deal to take away and consider.
Where day one had been focussed on the importance of ‘Place’ in the consideration of culture and day two on ‘People’ in terms of how culture and the arts intersects with communities and other areas of social policy from education to health and poverty reduction; on day three the Summit turned to what had been learned, shared and what the implications for policy might be.
