ASEF Unplugged - Conversations on the Arts in Asia and Europe

Since it was first established in 1997, the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) has been facilitating conversations on arts, culture and heritage. Its longstanding dialogue platforms have included large-scale formats (such as Experts’ Meetings, Public Forums and, more recently, ASEF Policy Panels), which have been organised in various cities across the two continents in partnership with arts organisations and ASEM Ministries of Culture. In May 2018, ASEF Unplugged, a new small-format event-series was launched to promote more open conversations in tune with the rapidly changing needs of an increasingly interactive and engaged audience.

Goals

• To consolidate ASEF’s longstanding role in bringing the societies of Asia and Europe together by facilitating conversations among cultural professionals
• To strengthen ASEF’s role as a facilitator of multi-stakeholder dialogue between civil society and government, including at the ASEM Culture Ministers’ Meetings (ASEM CMMs) (SDG 17.7 civil society partnerships)
