Cultural Exchange Programme
The AMA's Cultural Exchange pilot took place with our sister organisation, GVR in the Netherlands. A selection of AMA and GVR members were paired up and then spent time at their respective workplaces. The aim was to offer a ‘cultural exchange’, with participants gaining new perspectives from insights into how marketing the arts is carried out in each other’s country. Looking to the future, this programme could be a starting point in fostering new links between International cultural organisations, and be extended over time to allow new relationships to develop between arts professionals worldwide.
