Amplify: A Creative and Cultural Strategy for New Zealand
HAVE YOUR SAY
We need your input to ensure the Creative and Cultural Strategy for New Zealand 2024–2030 reflects the needs and values of our creative community!
What’s going on?
The Government has just released Amplify - their national creative and cultural strategy that outlines how they will support New Zealand’s creative sectors to 2030.
The strategy is focussed on amplifying creativity and culture in New Zealand over the next six years, and responds to the sectors’ unique challenges and opportunities.
What does this mean for me?
This long-term strategy forms the basis of how the government will move forward in supporting our arts and cultural sector. The values, visions and pillars outlined in this strategy should provide the groundwork for necessary change and reflect how you - as creative practitioners - are feeling right now.
This is an opportunity for the Ministry to get a real understanding of what’s actually going on in the sector - what people need, what is missing, what positive impact looks like, what values matter to us.
Why is my feedback so important?
While 2030 may feel far away, this strategy will have a long-term impact on you and the wider creative sector - so it is important to make a submission. Your feedback helps to develop a ministry strategy that will reflect the needs and values of the creative community.
Feeding into the strategy now ensures a stronger future for the arts sector!
The Feedback survey is simple and easy to navigate, and should only take 10-15min of your time.
If you do have more detailed feedback to share - we invite you to fill out the form first, before sending your comments to: consultation@mch.govt.nz
