What is the relationship between cultural cohesion in the UK and other countries? How can the visual arts enable disenfranchised groups to play a more active part in society? What is the role of citizenship in education and how has it changed? What are the challenges to children and young people feeling a sense of belonging or citizenship? How are gallery education projects exploring these concerns and what role can artists play? What impact does the economic and political climate have on the contribution culture makes to defining and developing citizenship? How is cultural identity treated by institutions when citizens are newly arrived, displaced, returning or transient? Is there a new citizenship which is about global urbanism?
