On Saturday, First Minister @JohnSwinney attended a performance of The Outrun at @ChurchHillThtr.

The play is part of @edintfest youth exchange programme, connecting young people from Edinburgh with peers from other parts of the world to develop their confidence and creativity.

Was a pleasure to take part in this vital conversation. I look forward to seeing the policy recommendations emerge!

Our 2024 Festival just got a whole lot bigger, with a host of new events added! 🎉

[Francesca Hegyi @franhegyi]

Today is the launch of a paper from @UAL & @ElizaEaston on keeping the UK creative industries globally competitive. I was pleased to sit on the Advisory Board for this paper which sets out a plan to help creative industries to boost exports and soft power. https://t.co/UkAmrNoViY

[Eliza Easton @ElizaEaston]

Are the UK's creative industries still internationally competitive? What is the state of UK soft power? Today marks the launch of my major commission with @UAL which answers those questions and provides policies to turn things around, before it is too late. (1/5)

[Francesca Hegyi @franhegyi]

@rometostandrews @edintfest Thank you for being with us this evening - and congratulations! 🙌

[Edinburgh International Festival @edintfest]

In three days' time we'll reveal our entire 2024 Festival programme of music, theatre, opera and dance!
