SICA is the portal for Dutch culture professionals involved in
international activities and cultural policy. SICA aims to stimulate and
suport Dutch artists and foreign parties that are involved in cultural
exchange with The Netherlands. Information and support is distributed
through this web site, the quarterly magazine SICAmag, fact sheets,
workshops and conferences and directly via the SICA consultants.
Foreign Visitors Program

SICA and eleven other Dutch cultural organisations organise a Foreign
Visitors' Programme for the Netherlands Culture Fund (Dutch name:
HGIS-Cultuur), a joint committee of the ministries of Culture and Foreign
Affairs. This programme is an excellent means of inviting people from key
cultural organisations abroad to come to the Netherlands, meet Dutch
cultural organisations and see Dutch cultural activities. Experience has
shown that these visits are very fruitful for the visitor and for the
Dutch cultural field. All visits should clearly benefit the Dutch cultural
field as well as the cultural field of the country of origin of the
visitor.

SICA is responsible for the programmes for visitors who are active in
several cultural sectors or cultural umbrella organisations. Past visitors
include policy makers, journalists and managing directors of cultural
centres and umbrella organisations. Visitors should be enthusiastic about
learning more about overall Dutch culture and cultural policy and about
meeting a broad range of Dutch culture organisations. The programme is
devised using the background and interests of the visitor as well as the
interests of the Dutch cultural field as a starting point. The programme
is composed in close co-operation with the visitor. Usually the programme
is made up of a compact programme of three to five working days.

Before any visit is confirmed, SICA asks the Dutch Embassy or Consulate in
the visitors' country for advice. It is essential that visitors speak and
understand English quite well. The Netherlands Culture Fund provides the
SICA with a budget to cover some of the costs of visits. This is not
always sufficient to cover the costs, so visitors are usually asked to
commit to the visit by contributing financially as well.
