Research, Ideas, and Support for the Arts in a Global Society
We here at Arts Diplomacy Network sometimes feel like we’re standing at a border with one foot in the world of public diplomats—who rarely consider arts and culture truly relevant to their work—and the other in the land of arts practitioners and managers, who care deeply about civic engagement but don’t often have a firm grasp on how their work figures into efforts to improve international relations. But the two professions share some fundamental concerns.
The Salzburg Global Forum for Young Cultural Leaders (going on now through November 1) has brought together fifty dynamic young cultural leaders from around the world in Salzburg, Austria for an intensive leadership development program. This new annual series helps young cultural practitioners improve their leadership skills and is intended to enhance international understanding and cultural exchange and to strengthen the cultural sector worldwide through a vital global network of young cultural leaders.
