We are seeking rapporteur services for the ASEAN-UK Advancing Creative Economy Policy Training (four online sessions) and an in-person Roundtable event. 

About this opportunity

The ASEAN-UK Advancing Creative Economy programme aims to strengthen the creative economy of ASEAN member states through collaboration with the UK, focusing on professional development, knowledge exchange, and building networks of policymakers and creative practitioners in both regions. The ASEAN-UK Advancing Creative Economy is co-funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the British Council and delivered in partnership with the ASEAN Secretariat. Our initiative will support the implementation of the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint 2025 and the ASEAN Strategic Plan for Culture and Arts 2016-2025

Supporting the Malaysian Creative Economy 

The ASEAN-UK Advancing Creative Economy Policy Training builds understanding of what the creative economy is and how policy to support the creative economy can be developed. The core of the programme is a series of six learning modules. In Malaysia, the training will be a hybrid of online self-learing, four online live sessions and a face-to-face Roundtable event. 

Scope of Work

The British Council is looking for a rapporteur for the programme to capture and report on the proceedings of the four online live sessions and one in-person Roundtable event. The rapporteur will be required to produce a compiled report that can contribute to parallel efforts of a recommendation paper that is led by the appointed programme facilitator. 

Deliverables include:

  1. Participate in meetings with British Council and appointed facilitator to receive brief, clarify scope of work, and to determine the report formats.
  2. Attend all online sessions and the Roundtable for rapporteur assignments.
  3. Produce notes from each session. 
  4. Compile notes and produce final delivery of rapporteur's report.
