As cultural policy in Canada and internationally struggles to acknowledge the growing pressure to evolve, decision-makers must understand its foundations, current status, and future possibilities. This program invites participants to critically examine how policy shapes access, equity, and influence—and how it can be reshaped to respectfully enact diverse worldviews and lived experiences.
Participants will gain tools to dissect cultural policy across local, provincial, federal, and Indigenous governance systems, engage with government cycles, and advocate for community-rooted priorities. The course supports leaders in reimagining cultural policy as a living, responsive framework for systemic change.
