  1. Outer HebridesCultural Entitlements Pathfinder The story so far…

  2. What connects the NHS, Comhairle, Northern Constabulary, Lews Castle College, and HIE?

  3. Us.

  4. National Policy “I remember when everyone grew corn - we would catch dogfish then lay them amongst the sheaves of corn in the stack. The wind preserved them over the Winter. You would take out sheaves to feed the animals and a fish to feed yourself”

  5. “Culture is a bit of a brochan” – it is… • Our activities on the island. Our work. Our landscape and how we use it • The fabric and background of society and the interaction of the people within it • How a community and individuals express themselves creatively • Who I am, who we are, where we are • What makes us unique

  6. Our brochan is: …the Gaelic language; strong sense of community; an inspiring if often harsh environment; and a common history in which hardship and the need to cope with the different attitude of the outside world is important

  7. And… • rich in oral traditions and through immigration connected to the rest of the world • Weather dominated with people you recognise – it either makes you glad you are here, or wish you were away • Islands, Gaelic, beaches, small but good communities, people that care, strong sense of identity, paradox, music, extreme weather, beauty and harshness, laughter and challenges

  8. So what expectations should we have?

  9. This is where we started from • What do we mean when we talk about the culture of the area? • What cultural activity takes place/is provided currently? • What should cultural entitlements do? • What sort of cultural entitlements should we have? • What’s my role in cultural entitlement?

  10. This is what we’re aiming towards • What are the issues you think impact on access to culture in the Outer Hebrides? • How should the key cultural providers respond? • What are the opportunities for strategic working with other sectors and colleagues? • What should the entitlements be? • How should they be delivered? • What are the issues that arise from this process?

  11. What connects Us, the NHS, Comhairle, Northern Constabulary, Lews Castle College, and HIE?
