INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE - WHY!

An international perspective is crucial for building economy, to promote the “cause” and for making it hard to push aside, ignore or close down.

BENEFITS PILOT COMMUNITIES TO BE PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL PROJECT

Being part of a Study with an international profile provides opportunities:

• to receive international attention and recognition.
• It allows a “pilot community” to send the message that:

  “in our community we invest in the future of our children,
  we raise standards of our schools
  we build a community with a strong cultural profile”.

Our pilot communities will be part of our festival programs providing opportunities to possibly attract new corporate investors and new community citizens.

An international profile can build credibility by:

• building a Board of Directors with international networks;
• attracting economical support across borders;
• establishing a first Music Festival event in June 2025,
• attracting recognized artists, ensembles, scientists and audiences
• approaching Scientific Institutions from several countries to be involved in the Study;
• contacting possible pilot communities;
• building publicity channels.

AN ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT PLAYER

Festival & Forum 21 needs to be an economically independent player allowing both festival ventures and research work to build continuity, regardless of shifting political majorities.

The festival project is closely linked to the Study project being a platform, a “face” and a “fund raiser” for the Study. An International Festival and Study project can be attractive for corporate, foundational and private funding.

Festival & Forum 21 needs to raise funds to cover costs for:

• an initial festival project in 2025, all and everything involved in the festival production;
• publicity;
• the Study and involved pilot communities;
• involved scientific institutions;
• all administrative costs.
