The International Education Innovation Development Association (IEIDA), headquartered in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, is an international cooperation platform dedicated to advancing education and cultural innovation with arts festivals at its core. Guided by the mission of “promoting educational exchange through arts festivals and deepening cultural understanding through education,” the association is committed to fostering bilateral collaboration between China, the United Kingdom, and the wider international community in the fields of arts, education, technology, and cultural creativity.
Centering its work on the Edinburgh Festival, IEIDA actively builds long-term cooperation mechanisms between Chinese and British educational institutions, art organizations, and cultural institutions. Through the planning and support of international performances, exhibitions, masterclasses, forums, and cultural showcases, the association helps Chinese education groups, art schools, and emerging artists access the global stage, while also facilitating the integration of British arts festival projects and educational resources within China.
