Community & Culture

From Someone... To The Number One!

London Central Academy focuses its support for community and cultural development practice through a number of community priority areas which include disability, young people, cultural diversity, emerging communities, arts, and volunteering campaigns, as well as specific critical social and cultural issues requiring focused attention.

The guiding principles that inform and drive our decisions, priorities, projects, policies and programs include:

The activity is by, with, and for the communities

Activities are of artistic excellence and the communities are directly involved in their purpose, design, and evaluation.

This involves working within each community in ways that are meaningful and relevant.

The collaborations that underpin the activity are inclusive, respectful and able to demonstrate that they are based on the needs and aspirations of all stakeholders.

The management of a project should demonstrate a blend of effective leadership and decision-making that engages the community at all stages of the process.

We put more emphases on how the activities will increase the capacity and skills of the communities and how this will lead to the communities being able to continue their identity and cultural development after the completion our community projects.

The mentors are highly skilled

London Central Academy enjoys a team of mentors, volunteers and community organisers who demonstrate their excellence in artistic and cultural development practice. The arts, creative, and social workers endeavour to clearly explain the collaboration processes that will achieve excellence in the artistic expression of the communities’ vision.

Community project leaders do actively engage in partner-building and are able to effectively manage, sustain and leverage partners for strategic and mutual advantage.

Activities reflect the energy and qualities of the community

Our community projects are designed to capture the unique dynamic and energy of a community and to equip the community with the tools to reflect a freshness of such vision and design.

Therefore, our cultural activities ought to embrace the strong emotional and aesthetic elements of each community, and strive to assert the role of activities of artistic and creative excellence in contributing to its vibrancy and wellbeing.
