The British Council is looking for a creative training provider or a higher education institution to work with the Cultural and Creative Hubs Vietnam Project Team to co-create and deliver a one-week training programme in inclusive arts in January 2019 for 20–25 participants who are owners and managers of the six key cultural and creative hubs (CCH) of the project.
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Delivery time: January 2019
Background
Cultural and Creative Hubs Vietnam is a three-year project funded by the European Union and implemented between 2018 and 2021 by the British Council, in partnership with the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Studies. This project proposes a series of activities focusing around a network of local organisations – the Cultural and Creative Hubs (CCH) – that actively engage with practitioners and the audiences in the field of arts, culture, and creativity.
The project has been designed to encompass three interlinked key components. The first surrounds building and improving the skill sets of CCHs managers and owners, as well as their artists and creative practitioners – in particular, in terms of management, audience development, and other specialised creative and cultural skills. The second component aims to create opportunities – via policy dialogue and other platforms – for direct and open exchange towards relationship building between CCHs and government administration of the culture sector. The third component promotes the sharing, learning, and networking amongst hubs from different parts of Vietnam, as well as between Vietnamese hubs and their European counterparts.

- training participants will be prepared to work in inclusive contexts, especially with groups of audiences they see as under-presented and/or vulnerable
- training participants and their organisations will have increased engagement with under-represented and/or vulnerable groups in Vietnam
- training participants will be able to cascade training materials to other CCH owners and managers in their network.

- delivery of this training programme in Vietnam for a group of 20 – 25 participants who are hubs owners and managers
