2009 Beijing WCO Friends Forum
Fellow members of the WCO Friends will gather together at the 2009 Forum, which will be held in Beijing, China on December 16~17, 2009. The purpose of the Forum is to revisit the journey the WCO has made for the past 10 years and examine its future direction and role in providing an open platform for cultural diversity and interaction at both global and local levels.
A series of round-table talks will be held to reaffirm the importance of creative and sustainable development and discuss ways to implement an effective cultural exchange to that end. The Forum will also feature a number of interesting workshops and cooperative projects such as Artists Taking the Lead, which will allow the participants with an invaluable opportunity to meet with other fellow members from different parts of the world, to interact in-depth with artists from around the region, and together address the issue of an innovative role of culture in a variety of social and environmental contexts. |
