Join a training programme on policy making and in cultural and creative industries.
“For economies and governments that are thinking about the future, this economy of ideas where ideas and intellectual property are the area of greatest value is going to become more and more significant… If oil was the crucial driver of the global economy in the 20th century, it's creativity that's going to be the crucial driver of the global economy in the 21st century”, — John Newbigin, Mayor of London's Ambassador for the Creative Industries.
‘Supporting the Creative Economy’ is an online learning programme for policy makers and representatives of the cultural and creative industries sector, created by the British Council in partnership with Cultural Associates Oxford and implemented in Ukraine in collaboration with Lanka.pro collective. The programme has been running in Ukraine since 2022 and already has 287 alumni.
The aim of the programme is to create a professional community in Ukraine that has a systematic understanding of the processes and specifics of the creative industries sector and is ready to engage in its development and advocacy.
In 2024, we have updated the course content and are looking for people to join the group to take the course in English. This edition will be a preliminary step in the preparation of a full localised version of the course in Ukrainian, which we plan to launch in the second half of 2025.
While on the programme, you will have three and a half months of self-paced online learning and meetings with the Ukrainian group to discuss the course materials with your peers. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate.
The application deadline is 9 December 2024, 23:59 Kyiv time. We welcome both new participants and alumni of previous editions to apply.
