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.


Our economy and businesses

Our economy is how the country produces and uses goods, services and money.

In 2019 Scottish cultural exports were more than £4 billion.

An export is something we sell to another country.

Cultural exports include:

  • products like books
  • digital music or film
  • touring artists and companies
  • exhibitions and exchange of cultural items

International work can:

  • make money
  • make links with Scottish people who live abroad
  • make links with organisations that support international business
  • bring skills for the cultural sector in Scotland
  • make sure more people can see cultural work
