Call for African Speakers: 5th World Summit on Arts & Culture
By a Correspondent

Following the successful 4th World Summit on Arts and Culture held in Johannesburg in September 2009 where more than 40% of the speakers hailed from Africa, this is to invite suggestions for African keynote speakers, panellists and presenters of case studies for the next Summit.

The 5th World Summit on Arts and Culture will be held in Melbourne, Australia from 3-6 October 2011, marking the tenth anniversary of the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA).

The theme of the 2011 Summit is Creative Intersections. The Summit will explore how the arts can give voice to different communities and concerns through collaborations with other sectors such as business and the economy, new technologies, health and well-being, the environment, education and identity through indigenous, local and global cultures.

Proposals for speakers are to be submitted by Friday 10th September 2010, and this may be done online at www.artsummit.org in English, French or Spanish. 

Call For Registration Of African Cultural Policy Experts On The Connect-CP Database

IFACCA hosts an on-line database of cultural policy experts from around the globe. The database is an important tool to link cultural policy experts and to identify cultural policy experts for conferences and paid consultancy work. Of the 800 or so profiles on the database representing 103 countries, about 65 are from the African continent.

This is to invite, and strongly encourage African cultural policy experts who are not already registered to do so as soon as possible, as this would also provide the 5th World Summit organisers with information about possible speakers. Register at www.connectcp.org 

Appel a Des Conferenciers Africains Pour Le 5e Sommet Sur Les Arts Et La Culture

Après le succès de 4ème Sommet mondial sur les arts et la culture qui a eu lieu à Johannesburg en Septembre 2009 où plus de 40% des intervenants venaient de l'Afrique, il est demandé de faire des suggestions pour des conférenciers, des panélistes et des présentateurs d'études de cas africains pour le prochain sommet.

Le 5ème Sommet mondial sur les arts et la culture se tiendra à Melbourne (Australie) du 3 au 6 Octobre 2011, marquant le dixième anniversaire de la Fédération internationale de conseils des arts et agences culturelles (FICAAC).

Le thème du Sommet de 2011 est Intersections Créatives et le Sommet examinera comment les arts peuvent donner la parole aux différentes communautés et préoccupations à travers des collaborations avec d'autres secteurs comme le commerce et l'économie, les nouvelles technologies, la santé et le bien-être, l'environnement, de l'éducation et de l'identité à travers les cultures autochtones, locales et mondiales.

Les propositions pour les intervenants sont à soumettre au plus tard vendredi 10 Septembre 2010, ce qui peut être fait en ligne sur www.artsummit.org en anglais, français ou espagnol.

Appel a Inscription Des Experts Africains En Politiques Culturelles Sur La Base De Donnees Connect-CP

La FICAAC héberge en ligne une base de données des experts en politiques culturelles du monde entier. La base de données est un outil important pour relier les experts de la politique culturelle et identifier les experts en politique culturelle pour des conférences et du travail rémunéré de consultant. Sur les quelque 800 profils sur la base de données représentant 103 pays, environ 65 sont originaires du continent africain.

Il s'agit d'inviter et d’encourager vivement les experts africains en politiques culturelles qui ne sont pas déjà inscrits à le faire dès que possible, car cela permettrait aussi aux organisateurs du 5e Sommet d’obtenir de l’information sur des conférenciers éventuels.
