Frontiers of Reality: Network Partners Meeting with PCF, Lebanon and Syria
We need security so the frontiers of our reality are monitored and protected, but we also constantly seek greater knowledge that challenges and restructures them. The frontiers of reality are spaces of ferment and tension.
Workshop: Private and Corporate Funding
How do we tackle private and corporate fundraising in this post-crisis era? Do you organise fundraising events? Do you create a “friends of” organisation? What kind of relation do you establish with these private and corporate funders? What do you fund? Should the fundraising be linked to specific projects, to administrative fees, to an endowment?

Workshop: Service Science
In the current global economy, the notion of “service science” is predicted to be the trend of the future, as more and more economies around the world are being dominated by the service industry. This has resulted in a new awareness of the importance of publics and their needs, as well as the necessity of innovation in maintaining good relations with these audiences. The non-profit cultural sector, although not as embedded in this trend as its commercial counterparts, should take note of these developments and reflect on its affect in its daily practice, especially in relation to its different publics.
How do cultural NGO’s manage themselves in relation to the new “service economy”, also taking into account the varying demands coming from various stakeholders: funders, beneficiaries (communities) and general audiences? What methods of innovation can be useful in re-imagining cultural NGO’s to make them equal actors in this new global economy?
