Our work in arts: English drama, English music, English literature, English movies and fine art

At the heart of Tunisia’s cultural landscape, our work spans across three key areas: Culture Connects, Creative Economy, and the Cultural Protection Fund.

Through the Culture Connects programme, we link Tunisia with UK contemporary arts, fostering creative collaborations that inspire and empower communities.

As advocates of the creative economy, we promote the role of art in driving sustainable, inclusive growth, working with creative professionals and policymakers to build global connections and foster mutual understanding.

Our commitment extends to safeguarding Tunisia’s cultural heritage. Through the Cultural Protection Fund, we help preserve the country’s rich traditions and stories for future generations.

Culture Connects

Building Bridges Through Culture At the heart of our mission, we believe that culture has the power to connect us all—especially in times of uncertainty. Our Culture Connects programme fosters meaningful relationships between artists, cultural professionals, and organizations in both Tunisia and the UK. Through this initiative, we nurture collaboration, spark creativity, and support the sharing of cultural expressions with new audiences.

Creative Economy

The British Council is a leader in championing the global creative economy through its Creative Economy programme, which focuses on policy, research, advocacy, and capacity building for creative professionals and policymakers. By fostering networks and promoting collaboration, we aim to create long-term impact and enhance international understanding.

The Cultural Protection Fund

The Cultural Protection Fund – a £50 million fund managed by the British Council in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. The fund aims to help to create sustainable opportunities for economic and social development through building capacity to foster, safeguard and promote cultural heritage in twelve countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
