Salzburg Global Forum for Young Cultural Innovators 2020
GOING BACK TO THE FUTURE: PLANS FOR THE YCI FORUM The annual program of the YCI Forum is just the start of the engagement with participants, keeping the energy in the network, deepening connections between participants in the 2020 cohort, and linking them with their local hubs will be the focus of the Forum activities in late-2020 and through 2021. YCI HUB COMMITMENTS: WHAT ARE OUR SURVIVAL STRATEGIES FOR GOING BACK TO REALITY? During the final session of the 2020 Forum program, participants were asked to discuss one thing that they will do together as a hub after the program. This is what they said: Abu Dhabi Hub: We are already working together as a team, supporting emerging artists develop their creative practice by leveraging the power of philanthropy. Baltimore Hub: start a WhatsApp group and meet in person (when we can!) Buenos Aires Hub: We’ll set up another meeting in order to start working together Cape Town Hub: We will meet up once a month to connect, know what people doing, and develop ideas. Step 1: Cape Town ice cream date! Canada Hub: Our first concrete action will be to meet again online! Maybe not at 5:00am for the Vancouver crew… Japan Hub: We will organize Zoom→Youtube stream program to PR YCI. We think more people want to join! Malta Hub: Meet up Meet up Meet up!! Upper Midwest Hub: 1.) Set up an e-mail group! 2.) Zoom check-in in two weeks! Memphis/Detroit/New Orleans Hubs: ROAD TRIP VISIT Nairobi Hub: We will be hosting a Poetry Slam Even that seeks to intersect Political Change and Art…We have also created a WhatsApp group…as we believe this is the beginning of the conversation. Salzburg Hub: A meeting and sharing about each other’s projects in one month, seeing where it leads
