Québec-UK Connections
Québec and the United Kingdom are dedicated to the importance of culture, technology and research in their societies, and while they share a common heritage, Quebec’s identity is anchored in its cultural productions and creative industries, making this province a cultural beacon renowned in Canada for its innovation and audacity.
The QC-UK Connections scheme promotes international exchange projects involving artists, directors, authors, and other cultural workers. Through funding and support, we encourage a cultural dialogue leading to better mutual understanding between the two societies.
