WHAT WE DO IN THE ARTS IN FRANCE

• We create long-term, mutually beneficial, partnerships with like-minded arts’ organisations within France, Europe and further afield.
• We raise awareness through the arts on issue-based themes such as cultural diversity, leadership, other societal issues and sustainable development.
• We highlight the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) as a creative, diverse and innovative nation.
• We work primarily on a global and multilateral scale.
• We work on projects where we are a key contributor to the content and we are no longer simply a funding body.

HOW WE WORK IN THE ARTS IN FRANCE
We organise our work under four areas:

Leadership
We support talented emerging professionals working in the cultural sector through leadership initiatives and events.

Innovation
We work on market intelligence, exploring artistic niches and innovative artistic collaboration between the UK and France and within Europe and North America.  We facilitate the mobility of art practitioners.

Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development
We consider how the art sector deals with major global challenges faced by society such as climate change, democratic processes, racism, censorship, etc. We support practices that integrate and propose models to face these challenges.

Cultural Diversity
We explore how artists deal with their cultural heritage in the context of a diverse Europe.  We compare models and approaches to diversity and multiculturalism in the arts within Europe.

WORKING WITH THE BRITISH COUNCIL
If you are working on similar themes and have a collaborative idea you would like to share with the British Council, you can contact us by sending us an email to programmes@britishcouncil.fr .  Please provide us with as much key information on your project in writing.
