A Culture Strategy for Scotland consultation: easy read version

Section 2. A Vision for Culture in Scotland

Culture is important and is open to everyone.

Culture is celebrated and is important to wellbeing.

The Scottish Government wants everyone to understand how important culture is.

Scotland is a place where lots of different communities, with their own cultures, can grow.

The Scottish Government wants Scotland to be a place where everyone has an opportunity to take part in culture, in different ways and in different places.

Artists and designers, people who make things and communities who take part in culture help to make Scotland an interesting place to live, work and visit.

People who want to be artists, or designers have the right to make a fair wage from their work. These careers should be open to everyone.

Culture and being creative can help us to learn about the past and remind us about history and heritage. It can help to shape the future.

There is no one story about Scotland's culture. It is made up of lots of different stories, told by different people.

What the Culture Plan will do – the Vision

1. Culture in Scotland is innovative and open to everyone in Scotland and around the world.

2. Culture, from the past, and new ideas are celebrated. This is important for our future wellbeing.

3. Culture can be a way of bringing about change and can help everyone.
