New Zealanders and culture

How Important is Culture? New Zealanders’ views in 2008 is a report on research commissioned by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. The report presents findings on the shift in New Zealanders’ attitudes on the relevance of culture and cultural activities between 1994 and 2008. The research’s key objective was to provide up-to-date information on the New Zealand public’s perception of the importance of culture and cultural activities. You can download the report here.
