connections through culture programme
'China-UK: Connections through Culture' helps cultural organisations in both countries build and sustain strong relationships with each other, leading to increased exchange of cultural product between China and the United Kingdom.
The Connections through Culture website encourages networks to be created, offers tailored advice and provides small grants for project development, so that cultural organisations from the UK and China can find out more about working internationally.
Connections Development Grant
This special grant could enable one member of staff from your organisation to visit counterparts in China for up to 10 days, with the aim of furthering the face-to-face discussions needed to develop projects between you and your Chinese counterparts.
Culture plays an important role in building and sustaining international relationships. Our cultural organisations are active all over the world, working with organisations overseas to build mutually beneficial, lasting partnerships. As Government leaders of the cultural sector, we want to ensure that the sector grows, develops and remains world class.
The Connections initiative aims to position Britain as a uniquely valued cultural partner. International work is important for the cultural sector as it helps our organisations to remain world-class. By working abroad in an open, collaborative and mutual way, the cultural sector also presents a positive image of the UK.
