As a major administration for the cultural-exchange work, Ningbo Bureau of Culture, Broadcasting, TV, Film, Press and Publication has approved the municipal Cultural Center's proposal to establish the International Cultural Exchange Center.
In recent years, Ningbo has made great efforts in the publicizing the local culture to the outside world by implementing the "going-out" strategy and exploring new fields, channels and forms of foreign cultural exchange. It has implemented various cultural-exchange programs in cooperation with over 20 foreign countries including France, the US, the UK, Turkey, Poland and Australia. In 2014, about 60 cultural-exchange programs were carried out in 19 countries and regions, involving over 200 cultural "ambassadors". As one of the highlights of the series programs of the Chinese Ministry of Culture, the "Ninghai Dowry Custom Show", an original show demonstrating the traditional wedding customs in Ninghai County, was on stage for four times at the Lincoln Art Center of New York, boasting a total ticket office of over three million yuan. It was reported by such major domestic and foreign media as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the CCTV, which contributes to the publicity of the city image of Ningbo. Meanwhile, the city has endeavored to introduce overseas cultural and art projects and cultivate the operators specializing in foreign shows and performance. It is reported that each year over 50 high-end cultural shows have been introduced to Ningbo to enrich the cultural lives of the local citizens.
