ASEF Unplugged - Conversations on the Arts in Asia and Europe

UPDATE for 2020:

With COVID-19 officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the health and safety of our participants are our utmost priority. Within this framework, all ASEF Unplugged events are on-hold until July 2020 (tentatively), depending on the developments of this global situation.

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)

 For partners interested in hosting an ASEF Unplugged event in 2019, please email Ms Andrea ABELLON, Project Executive, Culture Department, Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) at andrea.abellon@asef.org and we will get in touch with you to discuss further details.
