Description

The overall objective of the work is to deliver a comprehensive evaluation of the Japan Season that supports ongoing organisational learning about effective practice in delivering against Season objectives, which can be utilised for a range of stakeholders and audiences.

We are designing the Season to deliver against three specific objectives: i) to develop new partnerships, opportunities and trust between arts and creative institutions in Japan and the UK; ii) to support the development of more inclusive arts audiences in Japan, specifically for older and disabled populations; and iii) expanding the opportunities for disabled artists in Japan to work professionally. Although these are specific objectives for the Season, they form part of a long-term strategy for British Council Japan, with the Season offering an opportunity to accelerate and amplify progress against them.
