Momentum
Welcome to Momentum, a delegate programme based in Edinburgh aiming to build international relationships and cultivate collaborative opportunities, running throughout the month of August. Momentum is delivered in partnership between British Council Scotland, Creative Scotland and Festivals Edinburgh.
This year, we hosted delegates from Viet Nam, the Nordics, South Korea, the MENA region (Middle East & North Africa), Turkiye, Mexico and Poland - as well as two artform-focused delegations, Literature and Visual Arts. We look forward to announcing our 2025 delegates in the lead up to the August festival season.
If you are interested in engaging with Momentum for the first time, our information session for the Scottish arts sector (recorded in June 2024) contains useful information on how it all works, and how to make the most of interacting with the programme.
