The World Affairs Council of Miami is looking forward to partnering with Concordia on the upcoming 2024 Americas Summit from April 22-23 at the University of Miami. Register here today: https://lnkd.in/eMZRVHRt The 2024 Americas Summit will elevate the region in a global context, creating opportunities that take advantage of its untapped potential, with a focus on two core themes: 1) Driving Sustainable & Inclusive Growth – to include poverty, healthcare, education, youth, future of work, migration, environment, and energy transformation; and, 2) Strengthening Democracy & the Economy – to include strengthening local democracies, rethinking social contracts, and the role of the private sector in local economies. Conversations will promote the discussion, definition, and implementation of impactful market-led transformations.

https://lnkd.in/exebf8NQ I have been doing a lot of work lately on helping a deeper and wider sense of the potential role of community to emerge in the context of facing the challenges of these times as well as we can. As is often the case, Charles Eisenstein is ahead on the path, putting language on things I am feeling, but not quite able to find the words for yet. Have a look at the short video and see if it does anything for you. And if you want to continue exploring the role of community in these times, maybe consider this community as a place you could do so.... https://lnkd.in/e2SAdq6i None of us should be alone facing unprecedented challenges.

Open calls for creative events for children and young people for Cruinniú na nÓg. The National Day of Creativity for children and young people, Cruinniú na nÓg, takes place on Saturday 15th June 2024. It aims to celebrate and encourage children and young people’s participation in culture and creativity by providing free, activities to them in their own area. Through this Open Call, Donegal County Council’s Culture and Creativity Team are seeking proposals from practitioners, community groups and organisations for creative events and activities that will provide opportunities for children and young people to make, do, try or see. In 2024, the vision for Cruinniú na nÓg in Donegal is to provide opportunities for participation to all children and young people in each Municipal District. It is hoped to achieve this in 2 ways through the Open Call Process: 1. Strand A - Proposals under €500. To maximise the number of opportunities for children and young people all over the county to participate in creative activities, we want to enable as many proposals as possible up to a maximum of €500. 2. Strand B - Proposals between €500 and €2,000. It is proposed to roll out one regional event in each of the five municipal districts (Donegal MD, Glenties MD, Stranorlar MD, Letterkenny MD and Inishowen MD). Proposals are welcome from all types of cultural practitioners, organisations and groups (such as Community Groups, Youth Work Groups, Sports Groups, History and Heritage Groups, Neighbourhood Groups). Proposals should be inclusive so that all children and young people within the community can participate. Organisations are encouraged to engage with individual artists/creatives/cultural practitioners to assist with your event. Submissions are welcome from communities in every location in the county, and activity must take place on June 15th June 2024. Proposals should address the suggestions gathered from children and young people across Donegal in a recent survey. Cruinniú na nÓg proposal forms and guidelines can be downloaded at www.wainfest.ie. Completed forms should be emailed to creativeIreland@donegalcoco.ie by 12 Noon, Tuesday 19th March 2024.

Arts & cultural organizations are cultural keynotes that preserve history, inspire creativity, and educate the public, but getting members to come back year after year is a persisting challenge. One of the easiest ways to encourage membership renewals is to offer a loyalty rewards program such as PassPlay. On the blog this month, we talked about how PassPlay fits into the membership renewal strategy of arts & cultural organizations and a few other ways to provide more value to your organization.
