The Impact of Brexit on UK Intercultural Relations

TFCC is delighted to collaborate with Charlotte Faucher, Post-Doc Fellow at the University of Manchester, on a study to explore the impact of Brexit on Intercultural Relations for the UK and EU. This is part of an ECR Knowledge Exchange Programme at the University of Manchester.

Charlotte will bring her expertise as a cultural historian into the TFCC team, which has worked across most EU member states and with the European Commission over many years. We will explore how the Brexit process is imacting cultural relations, partnerships and planning.

Of course, at TFCC we think Brexit is a disaster for the UK and for Europe. But this study will drill down to expose the impact it is having on the confidence, health and wellbeing of the UK cultural sector as we approach the end of the transition period and the recklessness of No Deal.

Re-frame and Re-position - a Post-Covid Cultural Venue Study for Exeter, UK

TFCC has been commissioned by the Exeter Livable City Board in partnership with Exeter City Council and Exeter Culture with a core aim: achieving a strong, sustainable performing arts ecology for the city

Building on the Cultural Strategy for the city, which we developed in 2019, TFCC will work to set out some clear recommendations for the post-Covid development of the existing portfolio of venues and organisations of Exeter.

Like all cities globally, Covid has radically disrupted how cultural venues work and it will reshape their approach to partnership, engagement, presentation and investment for the future. This vital piece of work will scope how Exeter can innovate in a crisis to generate a workable and ambitious approach to venue management, partnership and investment.
