Insightful University of Staffordshire #HopefulFutures interdisciplinary conference. Delighted to be invited to present on how Culture 3.0 is underpinning Stoke-on-Trent’s #Future100 missions & its ambition to progress a place-sensitive application to become a UNESCO Creative City.

@chrisbryant1962.bsky.social Parliamentary declaration that the creative economy’s capacity for transforming a former industrial area is something ‘Stoke-on-Trent is beautifully exemplifying in its crucible’ augurs well for our UNESCO Creative City aspirations.

#WorldCraftCity
#Future100

Having engaged with UNESCO UK, I’m writing a column about #Future100 prospectus commitment to build on World Craft City status to achieve ‘Stoke-on-Trent’s ambition of being designated an International Centre for Ceramics, and pursuing a medium-term plan to become a UNESCO Creative City.’
