	How we work

We provide global support to writers, artists, musicians, performers, teachers and arts practitioners with information, advice and networks.

The arts programme for Latvia is developed together with our partners. It is carefully planned according to the British Council objectives, local aims, tastes and needs. This is generally done a year or more in advance.

We are a cultural relations agency not a funding body.

Dance

We support artists in all dance forms, to establish long-term international partnerships and attract new audiences. Find out how we work with our partners to promote the best in UK dance.

Drama

Contemporary UK drama is more vibrant than ever before. With everything from new writing and live art to classical texts and physical theatre testing the boundaries of the theatrical form, the drama scene is thriving.

Literature

Our literature network connects you with other readers, writers, teachers, students and professionals to bring you the latest news, views and creative resources on UK literature.

Music

We aim to challenge music professionals, journalists and audiences by offering innovative programmes showcasing music that attracts young and mixed audiences.

Creative industries

Our work aims to showcase that in modern society creativity and culture are not only important artistically, but they are also important economically.
