breakout groups
Thursday, March 12, 2009
The breakout groups will be themed. Each group will address a different Action Area:
Those interested in federal funding will start by mapping out advocacy issues. Who are the constituencies, where are the networks, who is taking action today, what are the current messages?
For creative economy, we'll start with professional development. Who (what city, which network) is succeeding in this area? What are they doing so well?
Other issues will look at strategic alliances. Who are our natural allies in this area? Who could be common partners in success?
- arts education
- federal funding
- creative economy
- other issues

Ditto that. I am still following your blog over the afternoon as I do other work. Nice to feel a bit involved with those of you in Ottawa today.
I have one point that I would like to make today concerning the work ahead. We need to be sure that the terminology we are using, e.g. creative economy, is carefully defined. The 'creative economy' has become a bit of a buzz word, and is not the same thing as culture as a whole (it ignores heritage, for example), or cultural industries (it ignores processes used to bring culture products to the public, e.g. printing). We have to use understandable terminology, consistent definitions, good data and solid research to support our work and our policy proposals. The lack of comparable and consistently used data by the field is a huge issue. Every report one sees on the culture sector seems to use different definitions and widely differing data sets. This is a serious problem. It is something that I hope the CCA will continue to concern itself with, as it works to redefine itself, and the work ahead.
