Cultural Diplomacy Toolkit

Battery Dance is committed to promoting socially relevant arts programs, regardless of whether those programs are conducted by us or by other arts organizations. To achieve that goal, Battery Dance  has developed the first online guide on how to conduct international programming for cultural diplomacy.

The Cultural Diplomacy Toolkit is Battery Dance’s official online platform for disseminating the organization’s knowledge and expertise in the field of Cultural Diplomacy. The toolkit provides lessons learned, best practices, and information on venues, partners, and locations.
