Open Research
Advancing knowledge through collaborative academic and cultural research across borders.
Joint studies, published findings and shared archives produced by two or more spaces working together on a common question.
The Framework
Six pillars of practice
Every proposal in the network declares one pillar. It is how a programme in one city stays legible to a partner in another - and how the Head of Programs weighs a season for balance.
Scholar Exchange
Facilitating meaningful exchanges of scholars, artists and cultural professionals worldwide.
Residencies, visiting lectures and fellowships that move people - not just papers - between host institutions.
Cultural Calendar
Celebrating global cultural moments with synchronised programming across every space.
UN observance days and shared festivals marked simultaneously across the network, so a single date carries many voices.
Diplomatic Simulation
Immersive exercises that build diplomatic skill and cross-cultural judgement.
Model summits, negotiation labs and crisis simulations where participants practise the craft rather than read about it.
Creative Lab
Incubating innovative cultural and artistic projects with international collaboration.
Studio work, co-productions and exhibitions that pair creative practitioners across two or more countries.
Global Network
Building and strengthening the connections between cultural institutions worldwide.
Convenings, partnership-building and the infrastructure work that keeps the network itself healthy and growing.
Next Step
Propose an initiative
Coordinators at approved spaces can draft a proposal against any pillar, attach supporting documents, and submit it for review.
