The British Council is partnering with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office China Capability Programme on a new China Capability programme for the UK culture sector, delivered by the Great Britain-China Centre (GBCC).

About China Capability Programme for the UK Culture Sector

GBCC has been running capability courses for UK businesses and civil society organisations over the past eight years, responding to the increasing need for UK policy and decision-makers to understand how to engage with China.

This new course aims to deepen understanding of the cultural landscape in China for UK cultural institutions and companies, and to analyse the potential opportunities that China presents for the UK culture sector.

This new course will be designed and delivered in collaboration with top experts on a range of topics. Participants can also expect to build connections across the sector and join a growing network of China-capable decision-makers in the UK.

Dates

The one-day programme will be offered on five dates in the UK:

  • 11 November, Manchester
  • 16 November, London
  • 19 November, London
  • 6 January, London
  • 24 March, London

There is no fee to attend, but places are limited. Participants will be selected to ensure a broad mix of organisations and perspectives from across the cultural sector. 

Funding is available towards travel costs for participants based outside Manchester and London.
