National Events 2012/14
Print the Programme Overview for National Events 2012/14
The National Events Programme uses the 3-year opportunity, afforded by the concurrence of Year of Creative Scotland with the Olympic Games, Paralympics and the Cultural Olympiad, and the run up to Commonwealth Games and Year of Homecoming in 2014, to highlight Scotland’s strengths as a creative nation.
We aim to exploit the significant media platform offered by these events and themed years to raise awareness of and participation in Scotland’s rich cultural programme. The programme will help to position the cultural sector’s work and reputation strongly with the people of Scotland and with actual and potential visitors. A key outcome will be improved engagement between the creative and tourism sectors.
