Training programme on policy-making in the 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 is creativity that is 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 policymakers 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 the 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.
While on the programme, you will have three and a half months of self-paced online learning, along with meetings with the Ukrainian group to discuss the course materials with your peers. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate.
An open call for the next edition of the programme is planned for the second half of 2025.
