Building Bridges: Cultural Industry Leaders Meet Educators and Trainers
The Cultural Human Resources Council (CHRC) will once again be “Building Bridges” between cultural leaders and educators/trainers at its national HR Forum in Toronto on September 27 and 28, 2012. Register Now! The focus of this unique gathering of cultural leaders, key educators and policy makers from across the country will be training needs and gaps in the sector. Through presentations on best practices, thoughtful discourse and provocative discussion, the Forum will highlight examples of industry/education collaboration that respond to immediate industry needs, examine the importance of professional development and mentorships, and encourage participants to press for solutions to training challenges. In a highly competitive global marketplace, Canadian cultural products are strong contenders, but the key to our continuing success is that our workers be on the cutting edge of creation, innovation and production of cultural content. CHRC’s HR Forum 2012 offers a unique opportunity for cultural and educational leaders to network with colleagues and collaborators, and share their successes and challenges. Take a look at the programme and then register. And don’t forget to check who else is attending.

The Role of the Arts and Culture in Public Diplomacy
Arts and culture play a central role in the diplomatic strategies of numerous countries, which see the presentation of their culture abroad as a chance to tell the world who they are and to create a positive image useful in pursuing their goals. At a time when public diplomacy is the subject of renewed interest on the part of the governments of many Western democracies, it is fitting to reflect upon the role that arts and culture could play in Canada’s foreign policy. On November 22, 2007, the CCA held a one-day symposium in order to compile the best current practices in this area, evaluate their impact and identify future directions. Read the summary from the symposium.
