30 UNDER 30: AN INITIATIVE FOR 30 YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
At Communicating the Arts (CTA), we like to address the big questions of our times. As part of our commitment to finding the answers we are launching 30 under 30, a program that invites young talent to investigate those larger issues while gaining new skills and developing their network in the arts sector. We believe that cultural institutions should be activists and play an important role in global issues. 30 Under 30 selects 30 young professionals from around the world and sends them into our cultural institutions to find what they are doing to address those questions and learn from them.
Round 1: tackling climate change
Our inaugural round of 30 under 30 will look at climate change. In 2020 our 30 research fellows will search for the most innovative ideas and action plans drawn up by cultural institutions to reduce the impact of climate change.
How 30 under 30 works
Research fellows will work in pairs to identify 15 creative projects that aim to tackle global warming and climate change. They will then present the best of themat an online masterclass and a Communicating the Arts conference.
Program aims
Emerging young leaders have a voice and we can truly learn from them. They express their talent and their knowledge, we give them access to a global network of 20,000 cultural leaders, strong professional base and job opportunities.
