Supported by the EU Delegation to the UK, the Factory International × EUNIC Creative Producers Programme reflected the European Union's commitment to strengthening cultural cooperation and people-to-people connections with the UK. By bringing together emerging cultural professionals from across Europe and the UK, the initiative fostered the exchange of ideas, best practices and expertise, while creating opportunities for future cross-border collaborations. It also reaffirmed the EU Delegation's commitment to investing in the next generation of creative leaders and demonstrated the important role that culture plays in strengthening international partnerships and deepening long-term EU-UK relations.
