At Nordicity we are thrilled to see these essays return as a continuation of the British Council's work highlighting the profound connection between cultural heritage and inclusive growth. The collection of perspectives and meaningful knowledge exchange was an invaluable journey for the team, and we look forward to the conversations and impacts these essays will continue to inspire. 

Nordicity had the pleasure of attending the Creative City Network of Canada (CCNC) Summit this week, hosted by the City of Vancouver. The event highlighted the critical role of the arts in urban planning, fostering inclusivity and building resilient creative communities. Presenters showcased as well how culture drives urban innovation and sustainability, and shared the latest in cutting-edge practices and partnerships.💡

As part of our ongoing path to meaningful change, we honor the stories and experiences of Indigenous Peoples, whose presence and stewardship have shaped, and continue to shape, this land. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to reflect on both the historical and ongoing injustices suffered by Indigenous Peoples, the lasting impacts of colonization, and the steps we must take toward reconciliation. On this day, we particularly remember the tragic legacy of the residential school system, honor the resilience, dignity, and strength of survivors and intergenerational survivors, and remember the children who never returned home. This year, we also commemorate the 17th anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). For those seeking to deepen their understanding, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation is hosting a session titled “Community Perspectives on UNDRIP,” at the Canadian Museum of History, with an option to participate online today (registration link: https://bit.ly/3BneYvp). The discussion will focus on Canada’s endorsement of UNDRIP and its potential to reshape the Crown-Indigenous relationship. Nordicity gratefully acknowledges the Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded the land on which most of our colleagues live, work, and play since time immemorial, long before colonial borders were drawn. We recognize the deep connections of Indigenous Peoples to the land and we reflect on our shared responsibility to honor the treaties and work toward meaningful reconciliation.

The Nordicity team is thrilled to share the Roblox Economic Impact and Social Benefit Study. This study shines a light on Roblox's U.S. creator community, highlighting its significant contributions to GDP and the broader economy. It also features inspiring success stories that demonstrate how Roblox has positively impacted creators' careers, skill development, and social lives. The study found that from 2017-2023 Roblox generated an estimated GDP of $1.2 billion in the U.S. Additionally, the direct and indirect impact of Roblox's Developer Exchange program during that time was the cumulative equivalent to 17,840 full-time jobs.
