International culture strategy: survey - easy read

We are seeking views to inform the development of a strategy to support the international aspirations and potential of Scotland’s culture sector.


What makes things difficult now?

It has been difficult for the culture sector to recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Working internationally is more expensive now the UK is not in the European Union.

Developing international activity could be part of a longer plan about how cultural work recovers and develops.

We want to know what you think about online work and:

  • if it is a good thing
  • or it is difficult to do

This strategy will look at ways to deal with the challenges caused by leaving the European Union.

We must make sure that international activity happens in a way that protects the environment as much as possible.

We need to think about how we present the bad parts of our history, like our involvement in slavery.

We have recommendations from the national project Empire, Slavery and Scotland's Museums which can help us be fair and honest in how we show our history in museums.
