In the 3rd episode of Arts Leaders Podcast, Robert Palmer speaks to Brian O' Regan at the 7th World Summit on Arts & Culture in Malta. This episode is the first of many recorded at the Arts Summit and I would like to say a huge thank you to IFACCA (the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies) and Arts Council Malta for helping to organise interviews with 15 people from 11 different countries including Cambodia, Israel, Palestine, Africa, India and Singapore. This episode features an interview with Robert Palmer, an independent consultant from the UK. Robert has worked for almost 25 years on a number of different European Capital of Culture projects as well as spending 7 years as the Director of Culture and Culture & National Heritage for the Council of Europe in Strassbourg and working as an advisor to UNESCO and the European Commission. The discussion covers the European Capital of Culture initiative in general as well as Robert's work with the city of Galway, Ireland (Capital of Culture - 2020) and Valletta’s 2018 ECoC designation. This interview was recorded at the 7th World Summit on Arts & Culture in Malta with the generous assistance of IFACCA and Arts Council Malta.
