"The World in One Region" is an Audiences Central research project commissioned by the Arts Council England as part of the Maximise II audience development project.


 

The objectives of this project are to:

  • Create a snapshot of the current ethnic diversity make up of the West Midlands to provide arts organisations and other bodies with information relating to the ethnic diversity of region.
  • Bring communities to life, by breaking down existing communication barriers and dispelling myths, through interviews, stories and short films from individuals from ethnic communities from across the West Midlands region.
  • Assisting organisations to feel more confident in engaging with diverse communities in the future.

We aim build a snapshot of ethnic diversity in the West Midlands by focusing on 10 identified geographic areas and communities in the region. You can find out how and why we selected these communities by clicking here.
