Short Description

An Interactive Session is a hands-on, engaging activity where participants of meeting point actively take part in discussions, workshops, or creative activities. These sessions will last 90 minutes and accommodate 25-30 people. They should encourage people to share their ideas and work together, focusing on the theme “Building Bridges – Art and Social Action in Asia.”

With this open call, we plan to select 6 session proposals. 3 interactive sessions will be selected from Laos, and 3 interactive sessions from the other eligible countries. The sessions can have formats including but not limited to artistic workshops, action research, group discussions, or training. The goal is to create an experience that involves everyone and sparks meaningful engagement with the practice of art and social action in Asia. We are looking forward to receiving creative proposals, but the sessions must meet the following criteria to be eligible for consideration:

  • Be related to this year’s theme of “Building Bridges – art and social action in Asia”
  • Be interactive in nature 
  • Be suitable for approximately 25-30 participants
  • Be able to be managed within 90 minutes

Eligibility

We are now calling for practitioners, collectives and organizations from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam to propose hosting interactive sessions during Meeting Point.

The selected hosts are required to take part in an orientation meeting and two online networking sessions on July 17th, August 21st and September 18th.
