HEY Creative is Hull and East Yorkshire's multi-sector Cultural Compact - creating the conditions in which culture and creativity is flourishing in our region, to enhance and benefit the quality of life for all.
We require the appointed consultant(s) to:
- Map and interpret the nature, scale and characteristics of existing international cultural relationships in Hull and East Yorkshire, and in 4-5 identified overseas cities / regions with whom we may connect (to be identified during the research phase)
We are interested in what makes these relationships work; their strengths, weaknesses, potential for growth, possible new opportunities etc. The work should cover the spectrum form individual practitioners up to large arts organisations.
It will be possible to liaise with and work through various networks and collectives to make information gathering as easy and speedy as possible. Contextual information about local international connections within other sectors can be provided by key representative HEY Creative partners like our two local authorities, the education sector, business groups etc. This will offer a broader context to the international picture and should point up existing synergies, gaps and potentials to support the development of new cross sectoral connections.
- Produce a report detailing findings that can be used to inform both the next steps of our British Council project and ongoing work by partners about future ambitious international creative projects
The deliverables of this project will support HEY Creative, the wider cultural sector and strategic initiatives such as future cultural strategies and a potential UNESCO City of Music bid.
