About Day Two: 29 May

By Day Two, delegates would have had a chance to listen, share, exchange, engage and possibly reflect. On this day, we will focus on futureproofing, delving deeper into the issues and start to look at solutions. Case studies discussed will show who is currently leading discussions (across sectors) and who is pioneering in this space. These approaches would underline all sessions on Day Two. By the end of Day Two, delegates should be better placed to build on the lessons learnt to start exploring tools, building capabilities and charting possible futures in this quest to be futureproofed. Day Two will be a key day to prepare for the dialogue on actions on Day Three.

TOPICS WE WILL ADDRESS

Day Two of the Summit will engage in forward-thinking discussions on critical global issues, alongside an in-depth exploration of the most pressing concerns for the cultural and creative sectors at a local level. Big picture issues on the agenda include the philosophies of technology and knowledge systems as well as culture as a global public good and momentum for a standalone goal for culture in the post-2030 UN sustainable development agenda. The governance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the role of culture in climate action will also be addressed. The day will also turn the attention on the cultural and creative sector, with discussions surrounding working conditions, Intellectual Property (IP) and copyrights. Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge, collective rights, mobility and inclusion remain central to these discussions. The future of investment in culture will be discussed as key to sustainability, as will effective data gathering needed to build a case for culture. A special spotlight will be placed on the music economy. Importantly, we will explore empathy, connectedness and collectivity in a world marked by conflict and fragility.

  • Delegates will spend the morning together, beginning with a recap of the previous day and followed by an engaging In Conversation session on culture, diversity and knowledge systems in a world increasingly influenced by rapid technological advancements. Next comes the morning coffee break. Two plenaries follow: one on governing and leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the other on sustainability in the arts ecosystem, addressing a range of rights issues from IP and labour to cultural and collective rights.


    PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

    • Plenary: Roundup

  • After lunch, delegates will have the option to attend parallel sessions in the afternoon, choosing from several different offerings in each round. The formats will be similar to those on Day One, featuring panel discussions, workshops, long tables and open spaces.

    The first round of parallel sessions includes three panel discussions: one each on inclusion, the music economy and the future of investment in culture. Two long tables will also be on offer, allowing delegates to sit around a table and engage in open conversations on connectedness in a time of conflict. An Indigenous-led workshop will explore the future drawing upon Traditional Knowledge systems and approaches. As with Day One, an open space session will offer delegates a platform to share projects and pitch ideas to one another.

    The second round of seven parallel sessions follow the afternoon break. Three panel discussions will explore key topics: culture as a global public good and its potential as a standalone goal in the post-2030 development agenda; the role of culture in addressing the climate crisis; and, transnational cultural relations with a focus on mobility and the free flow of people and ideas. Two long tables will also be offered: one on participatory systems harnessing Traditional Knowledge and community participation to better address the massive changes of our times. A workshop on data gathering and analysis for evidence-based policymaking will be held. For those wishing to create their own agendas, an Unfinished Business session will allow delegates to bring unresolved topics to the table. The day will conclude with a gala dinner, offering an authentic local experience in Seoul.
