Our Values

Cultural traditions, creative expressions and historical experiences deserve thoughtful consideration. Respectful engagement begins with listening, learning and understanding context.

Creative expression gives people opportunities to explore ideas, communicate experiences and discover different ways of understanding the world.

Cultural learning encourages curiosity, critical thinking and an appreciation of the histories and ideas that shape communities.

Cultural participation should be approached with respect for different backgrounds, perspectives, abilities and experiences.

Accurate information, honest communication, responsible management and respect for commitments are essential to public trust.

Cultural work benefits from constructive cooperation between people and organisations with shared interests and complementary expertise.

Understanding heritage helps people explore the relationships between past experiences, present communities and future generations.

Clear organisational information and responsible decision-making help the foundation maintain public confidence.
