- The Cultural Age Online and in the streets we encounter a more diverse range of cultures than ever before. Culture is a space in which values are expressed and interpretated. In partnership with the AHRC, Demos is hosting two seminars to investigate how policy-makers can link up with academics to think about what this means, and how the understanding of complex cultural issues can be brought into different policy areas.

- Cultural Literacy Our identities comprise different senses of belonging to different groups at different times. These are the cultures of which we are all a part, and our world is one of many cultures. The problem is that there is a real lack in our skills to read other cultures. One result is that our newspapers, media and websites carry numeorus stories about hostility between people, breeding a cycle of fear, insecurity and ultimately violence and prejudice. To overcome this, we need a new skill: cultural literacy. Researchers: Samuel Jones 16 BlogPosts 8 Bookmarks 18 Themes
- A Perfect Storm The current relationship between culture and local governement is confused and confusing – there is no cultural system, and hence reliable evidence is difficult to come by. But that is no reason to ignore the problem of falling budgets and asset disposals. Researchers: John Holden Samuel Jones 2 BlogPosts 6 Bookmarks 13 Themes
- Culture Online (past) Culture Online has pioneered a project-based approach to bring new audiences to arts and culture using new technology. In this it differs significantly from the portal approach of many cultural websites. Demos is working with Culture Online to place their achievement in a wider context of policy development, and to articulate lessons for practitioners and policymakers.

- Knowledge and Inspiration (past) This project highlights the evidence for the central importance of museums, libraries and archives to our future. By understanding their role as a public service, delivering public value, it will demonstrate what the sector does in terms of values that are intrinsic, instrumental and institutional, and show what they mean in practice.

- Cultural Diplomacy (past) Following the recent public diplomacy review, now seems like a good time to revisit what we mean by cultural diplomacy and the ways in which culture helps to deliver Britain’s foreign, developmental, and sustainability objectives. This project asks what this means for cultural institutions and whether they could play a role in fostering public debate and engagement. It also set out a new and practical framework for policy makers and practitioners in the UK and beyond. Researchers: John Holden Kirsten Bound 33 BlogPosts 12 Bookmarks 26 Themes
