Response to Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee report: Major cultural and sporting events, May 2021
The role of major cultural and sporting events in celebrating the UK’s national identity – evidence from Spirit of 2012
Insight – Project Evaluation
Spirit of 2012 welcomes the decision of the DCMS Select Committee to hold an inquiry about the role of cultural and sporting events in celebrating the UK’s national identity. This subject is important at a time of societal change caused by individualisation, immigration and globalisation, as well as debates about this country’s changing place in the world, and devolution and independence within the UK. This inquiry is also timely with a 2025 City of Culture competition in progress, and a five nation a bid for the 2030 World Cup tournament.
