- 2. beyond the obvious CAE Annual General Meeting and Public Conference Newcastle-Gateshead (UK) 9-11 oCtober 2014 from producing things to nurturing social capital Since 1993 Culture Action Europe (CAE) has organized gatherings for its members, who represent over 80,000 cultural organisations from all over Europe, and for thinkers and decision-makers from different backgrounds to discuss and challenge the role of culture in the future of Europe, its people and its democracy. The 2014 Conference will have a thought-provoking aim: to look beyond the obvious to explore the future borders and edges of culture and move beyond those conventional assumptions, beliefs and practices that impede the contribution of culture to social and economic regeneration at a local, national and European level. IT IS NOW TIME TO RETHINK THE WAY WE DO AND ACT CULTURE and how it nurtures the generation of social capital. For this reason we, as CAE, have challenged the obvious elements of a conference to spark inspiration and new dialogues: > We have designed 7 different formats for speeches and conversations that will allow the speakers and the audience an opportunity to learn something new about what is discussed > We have tailored an unusual rhythm between institutional moments and uncommon dialogues that will spark unexpected connections > The speakers will share their viewpoints to improve and challenge the whole community on what they have learnt and experienced in their relationship with culture > During the Conference the contributions of participants will be challenged in more than 8 hours of real hands-on working sessions during which everyone will engage in a “laboratory-style” approach to what is discussed and shared. The CAE 2014 Annual Conference will be held in NewcastleGateshead, shortly after the European Election and the referendum in Scotland and just before next national elections to indicate how strongly we believe that the European Union needs a constructive relationship with the UK - and vice-versa - to build a prosperous and sustainable future in Europe. WHY?
