A gateway to communities and families

We need to encourage local people to engage in the cultural aspects of Margate- to enjoy it and feel a sense of place.

• Many of Margate’s residents are unlikely to go to university so there needs to be a way of using informal education if learning and skills is to play a role in the cultural vision.


• The role of formal and informal learning can bring both parents and family’s into cultural/creative activities


• .If their children are doing it then they will want to take part.


• We must ensure that parents are encouraged to so participate in their child’s cultural activities and not make them exclusively for the children.


• There should be an outdoor performance space in Margate.


• One-off spectacles are always successful here but there should also be a consistent programme of activity and institutions can play a positive role here.


• Activities in colleges, institution and/or organisations should compliment each other.


• There needs to be a portal where our projects/ information can be shared.


• If we are going to use culture as a means of building Margate and the aspirations of it’s residence then we need to establish a niche.
