In the development of Bolton’s Strategy it is acknowledged that the term “culture”
and its new and wide-ranging meaning are challenging to grasp. Culture embraces
a wide variety of meanings and values for people.
The definition of Culture used in this Strategy falls into two dimensions:–
1. Culture as Bolton’s Bolton’s an essential part of everyone’s life,
the cultural activities, the making, doing and enjoying.
Cultural activities are the things that people choose to do rather than the activities
which they need to survive or Bolton’s region’s Bolton’s industries’
are forced to participate in. These activities are about – fun and enjoyment,
they are the things that people generally do in their leisure time, time outside
work and household responsibilities. Culture is where people can find inspiration,
enthusiasm, fulfilment and happiness and is an intrinsic part of people’s lives.
