Commonwealth Culture Toolkit
‘The Commonwealth Culture Toolkit’ is a new interactive resource on culture designed to help encourage the sharing of cultural work in and around Commonwealth countries. This Toolkit is intended to promote the exploration and adoption of inter-cultural ideas and practices, to shine a light on those working in culture and to encourage greater support for their efforts, and to enable mutual learning between different Commonwealth contexts. It contains three main sections, drawing on experience in every Commonwealth region: case studies, issues and perspectives and spotlights. The Toolkit also addresses the Commonwealth priority of building cultural connections so that mutual understanding and appreciation can be strengthened.

Putting Culture First: Commonwealth Perspectives on Culture and Development
This report is based on close consultation with the citizens, civil society and governments of Commonwealth countries and pays attention to the neglected ingredient of culture. The report highlights what the connections between culture and development look like in closer detail, over and above the simple assertion that they exist. This publication takes as its starting point the notion that culture is a fundamental component of sustainable development, and asks readers to consider the implications of this approach.
