Cultural Exchange
A New Initiative
Cultural Exchange: The promoters are aware that a number of well-intentioned and well-structured bodies exist already with active interest in linking and promoting cultural activity within the two countries. For the purposes of clarification, cultural activity can be defined in random order but not limited to the arts, music, stage, heritage, history, literature, sport, social and intellectual exchange. To operate effectively, cultural exchange and cultural enhancement programmes frequently rely upon financial support, grants, sponsorship and or other forms of subsidy. It is reported that many potential projects are only partly effective or fail completely from poor funding. RBIF will use its acquired networking skills to facilitate the funding of more projects relevant to its mission. RBIF will work closely with the British Council, the English Speaking Union and ALL other bodies in EU dedicated to cultural exchange. The Curatorium and its cultural advisor(s) will 'interview' applicant bodies, decide upon projects worthy of its support and through its networks, focus upon fund raising facilitation for those projects.
