Welsh Government (2022-23)

Working in collaboration with The Means and BOP Consulting, Arad supported Welsh Government officials in the production of a new Culture Strategy for Wales, based on appropriate sector research and engagement with key partners from across the culture and heritage sector in Wales (and the wider UK). Arad undertook research and engagement work through discussions with individuals and representative organisations, collating data, information, and perspectives, based on lived/professional experience, to form an evidence base from which the new Strategy can be developed. As part of this work, Arad contributed to the development of case studies and goals and actions to form part of the Strategy.
