The Castalian Pool is a pool of expertise, ideas and experience, forging links between public institutions, NGOs, businesses and the cultural and creative sector. The original Castalian Pool, sacred to Apollo, catches the waters from springs on Mount Parnassus at Delphi and has always been associated, by poets from Ovid to Milton, with bringing inspiration. Bringing insight and collaboration - globally and locally The aim of The Castalian Pool is to approach cultural and political development as if it were environmental policy: recognising that nothing local takes place without the global context – and that nothing global succeeds without local implementation. We are convinced that culture can unlock creative potential and spark powerful and sustainable collaborations in times of change. Cultural assumptions and emotional attachments are often at the heart of resistance to change but we also know that culture can unlock creative potential and spark powerful and sustainable collaborations. The Castalian Pool’s objective is to connect and reconnect people by using the arts to challenge existing beliefs, structures and concepts while developing projects and strategies to further cultural and political development. These are the principles to which we align our activities and deliver all our services. The Castalian Pool Ltd. is a not-for-profit organisation registered as a British company in Wales limited by guarantee.
