UK Mela Directors' visit to India

In February 2008 a group of Mela organisers from across the UK visited India. This was delivered in partnership with the 'cultural leadership programme', with advice from Visiting Arts.

The group was made up of organisers from Melas in Belfast, Bradford, Croydon, Glasgow, Kirklees, Manchester Nottingham, Rochdale and Swindon. They attended the Mumbai Festival, Republic Day Folk Festival Delhi, and Surajkund Mela.
 
The purpose of the visit was to stimulate new approaches to Mela Festivals in the UK through observing a variety of different Mela structures and alternative methodologies.
