Whether interested in the development of a module or the delivery of a single lecture, training institutions can have confidence that Rod Fisher will bring experience gained over many years in cultural policies and issues internationally, as well as fruitful interaction with students and practitioners from many nations. The following quote from a leading UK university illustrates this:

"Thank you for the superb contribution to our Senior Managers' Course 'Managing the Arts in the 21st Century'... the feedback we have had from participants has been overwhelmingly positive."

Rod can also provide tailor-made training for professionals in the cultural sector (eg. for cultural officials in Vietnam on behalf of Visiting Arts and the Ford Foundation).
