Creative Collaboration is a British Council project in partnership with artists, cultural leaders and creative entrepreneurs across South East Europe and the UK.

The project 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.

Launched in Istanbul last year, with support from the UK’s award-winning theatre group Improbable, the project is bringing together leading arts professionals to work on the issues that are most important to them such as public space, arts and professional development, social inclusion, cultural leadership and creative cities.

What do we want to achieve?
We want to help the region’s artists and cultural leaders to develop the networks and skills they need to build a better society, support economic growth and enrich the cultural life of Europe and its surrounding countries.
