International Showcasing

Strategic development (international)

In collaboration with Milica Illic a consultant based in Brussels, we drafted a scoping report and produced a set of recommendations to support Projekt Europa’s international partnership development strategy (Sep 2022 - Jan 23)

Research for the Barbican to develop a set of recommendations for an International Staff Exchange Programme (July - Aug 2022)

As a consultant on the Weston Jerwood Creative Bursaries, I supported partners and Fellows to shape and deliver the international aspect of this programme, Creatives Explore. This programme aims to provide Fellows an opportunity to start exploring how transnational connections might help them not only increase their career sustainability but also connect to peers in Europe and build a community of cultural workers and artists beyond the UK. The WJCB programme is supporting 50 salaried jobs in arts and cultural organisations across the UK, for individuals from low socio-economic backgrounds. The programme is dedicated to supporting outstanding early-career artists, curators, producers and creatives to thrive, and working in partnership with leading arts and cultural organisations to take an inclusive, intersectional approach to recruitment, artist development and organisational change (Aug 2021- July 2022)
