Between Continents and Cultures

Join us as we partner with the French Embassy in the UK to discuss the relationships between Africa and Europe, and how we can reimagine research in the Creative Industries in the UK and France.

Africa and Europe: Reversing points of view - Friday 2 June, 7pm to 8.15pm

The relationships between Africa and Europe are of high importance internationally. Our experts explore the complex dynamics between the two continents and the deeply-rooted social and political challenges that, if better understood, could pave the way for better collaborations and dialogue.

Research in UK and French Creative Industries - Saturday 3 June, 12 noon to 1.15pm

Where next for the Creative Industries and our next generation of artists and creative professionals? Where are the areas for growth and opportunity? What can we learn from each other? Join our panellists from France and the UK as they discuss these questions.
