Cultural Advisory Board

In June 2025, the British Council Italy Cultural Advisory Board was formally disbanded.

The Board was established following the positive experience of working with a Programme Board during our previous UK/Italy Season 2020 and over the past four years it has played a valuable role in shaping and supporting our work.

Drawing on the collective expertise, intelligence and activities of its members, the Board helped to:

  • increase the resilience and standing of the UK and Italian culture sectors through sustained dialogue and knowledge exchange
  • enhance the impact of bilateral cultural relations between the UK and Italy
  • position culture at the heart of the UK-Italy relationship.

We continue to build on its legacy through ongoing collaboration and dialogue across the cultural and creative sectors – find out how by signing up to our Arts newsletter.
