Sessions

Research and education are in the core of The Community, and we have always had a deep interest and appreciation towards the academic world. It has provided the base for The Community’s mindset, through each of our members’ educational experiences around the world.
In 2019 we launched the Think Tank Sessions that invite small groups of experts from the arts and creative industries to discuss, exchange and ideate together. These one-day sessions are an immersive exchange of ideas that follow the idea generation principles of Design Thinking. The outcomes of each session are published as creative reports that are distributed with open access.

Reading Room

The Community : Pink Papers are free, multidisciplinary reports, texts and information that are published with the aim to connect, share and build a real community worldwide.

Residency

The Community : Residency is a new multidisciplinary program launching in 2020.
