Leeds Ambitions Strategy: Collaborating Through Culture
In October 2025, the Leeds Ambitions were launched - a shared vision for ensuring Leeds can reach its full potential for everyone who lives, works, studies, and visits here.
At the heart of the Ambitions is a commitment to working across partnerships and communities as 'Team Leeds', to tackle poverty and inequality and unlock the huge potential of Leeds through four interconnected priorities:
Health and Wellbeing
Inclusive Growth
Thriving Communities
A Resilient and Sustainable City
Join us for a series of panel sessions, which will bring together voices from across the city to explore how collaboration can help turn these ambitions into action. Researchers, policymakers, cultural organisations, industry leaders, charities, and community partners will share ideas, challenges, and examples of work already shaping Leeds' future.
Our first event, Collaborating Through Culture, will explore the role of arts, culture, heritage, and creative practice in building a more inclusive, connected, and resilient city. The session will consider how cultural collaboration can support social change, strengthen communities, and contribute to the wider ambitions for Leeds - and how we can harness this potential in the future.
This event is being run by the Policy Engagement team at Leeds Beckett University.
