IFACCA has received a small grant from the Asia-Europe Foundation, under its Creative Networks program, to support the THRIVE project, which aims to document and share information about good practices in strategic planning for culture networks with a view to improving practices, inspiring network leaders, and providing a resource for networks in Asia and Europe. 

The project has two key components – a workshop in Singapore in late August and a research report.  The workshop, which will bring together a small number of leaders of cultural networks from Asia and Europe, will comprise sessions aimed at helping networks to assist each other to improve their operations and impact. As background for the workshop, IFACCA will prepare a discussion paper which will provide a preliminary analysis of the results of a global survey aimed at collecting information on international culture networks: their structures, activities, and challenges and opportunities for the future. The final report will be published on www.ifacca.org 

THRIVE is presented through a partnership between the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA); the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA); Arts Network Asia and presenting partner LASALLE College of the Arts (Faculty for the Creative Industries). The project is supported by ASEF Creative Networks of the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) and by the National Arts Council of Singapore.
