Cultural leader consultations

On top of the survey, creative assemblies and external community/cultural conversations, we will be conducting interviews with key cultural and community leaders.

These conversations are designed to help us understand Sheffield's strengths, opportunities, partnerships and ambitions. We want to hear people's perspectives, ideas and insights about what could make Sheffield's City of Culture journey meaningful, ambitious and distinctive. What is already alive in the city, what is trying to emerge, and what conditions would allow people to shape it with integrity?

We'll be contacting cultural leaders directly to capture these answers, but there is still an expansive engagement process for you to get involved with on this website.

The process will bring together thousands of voices and cultural strands from across the city to feed into to our bid. Whether or not we get City of Culture, these ideas will form the basis of something bigger as Sheffield develops in the coming years.
