Launched in November 2007, Creative Collaboration is a British Council arts initiative to build networks for dialogue and debate across the arts communities of South East Europe and the UK, aiming to enrich the cultural life of Europe and its surrounding countries.

Creative Collaboration uses innovative approaches to networking to encourage arts and cultural leaders from different countries and different art forms to talk together, learn from each other and develop new partnerships for effective cross-border working.

WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH THIS NEW INITIATIVE?

			Improved levels of trust and understanding between artists and arts communities in South East Europe and the UK.
			Enhanced skills for individual artists and arts institutions, especially in candidate countries for EU accession and countries in the surrounding European neighbourhood
			New collaborative productions that involve multiple countries and multiple art forms and that will reach more people.

HOW WILL WE MEET OUR OBJECTIVES?

Creative Collaboration will be run as a programme in partnership with artists, cultural producers and creative entrepreneurs:

Albania is involved as a second partner in the following project:

-The Culture Lobby

-Mixed Ability Dance
