2020 Learning Exchanges
Imagining Together/Acting Together
About 730 actors in acct ecosystem: artists, cultural workers, conflict transformation practitioners, researchers, funders and policymakers from more than 56 countries explored key concepts of conflict transformation: resistance, re-humanization, reconciliation. In addition, the learning exchange created opportunities for exchange about a framework new to many in the field — re-enchantment — and about the pandemic and its effects on the arts, culture and conflict transformation ecosystem.
