SECTOR SUPPORT
We are excited to launch a new section on our website, where you can find out about the projects and events we have contributed to, and the sector support we offer. As an organisation that works at an international level we believe in the value of collaboration and building relationships to promote artistic and community exchange across borders.
In September we were invited to take part in a panel discussion at CONNECT! Creative Europe Desk UK Forum on the Value of Networks at the Barbican, to share our thoughts on the importance of networks. The event discussed how cooperative working between organisations can strengthen ideas, effect change, and why these international connections are vital for our sector, particularly within today’s political climate.
Clymene has also been newly appointed Chair of International Newcastle, a platform of municipal, academic, civil society and cultural partners supporting Internationalism in our city. Clymene said on her appointment:
"From the communities that make our city their home, to the businesses that trade across international borders, from the work we do to connect our cities to other cities around the world, to the joint research we undertake to foster healthier, fairer and safer communities, International Newcastle supports the extraordinary wealth of international experience, knowledge and understanding found in our city today and I am honoured to step into the role of Chair of the board of directors.
“As we navigate new relationships with Europe and the wider world, International Newcastle will work with the City Council, the education and cultural sectors, The Chamber of Commerce, consular colleagues, civil society organisations and others to maintain and grow our global reputation and offer a warm welcome to the world."
Clymene recently returned from Elefsina, Greece in her role as expert for United Cities and Local Governments Pilot Cities programme, which is working with 20 European Cities to consider the value of culture in sustainable development for the British Council.
