The final global webinar in this 2021 series will turn our attention to an area of growing interest and significance in creative communities, namely that of the different care approaches needed to address the professionals in the field, a category which includes students, teachers, arts professionals, curators and participants. The people involved are not only parts of a system but much more, in other words the living embodiment of stories, narratives, experiences, hopes and identities that go beyond the individual and make up the community.
Matters of proximity, demographics, history, access, and privilege in benefitting from resources will be touched upon in relation to governance methods and patterns in the Philippines and Singapore and elsewhere in Asia, the US and Europe, with particular reference to Malta. Therefore, the idea of building bridges in order to counter the risk of 'falling into the cracks' will inspire our discussion about facing the various problems experienced while trying to function in society and finding one's place.
Join us on Thursday 18 November at 18:00 CET on Zoom. The general audience will be able to contribute to this 60-minute webinar session by joining through this link https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_F08Mx5ghSTWTD3TselJ8aA and send comments and questions during the live chat section.
