No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less.
John Donne
At a time of great debate and uncertainty about Britain’s place in the world, we are finding it more important than ever to reach across borders and collaborate with our international colleagues to unite, innovate and thrive as a global arts community. This month we are bringing you stories of our work outside of the UK and introducing The International Agent, our new quarterly bulletin which joins The Learning Diaries and The Digital Snapshot in reporting on particular areas of our work that we think you might find especially interesting. As well as looking at our own projects, this new quarterly will flag international opportunities, report on in-the-field audience engagement work and offer up useful tips and discoveries from overseas collaborations.
