The Discussion Paper for the 6th World Summit on Arts and Culture is a seminal document that aims to provoke and stimulate thinking on the theme of the Summit in the lead up to the gathering in January 2014. It was prepared Dr Cristobal Bianchi Geisse, Editor of the 6th World Summit Discussion Paper and Coordinator of the Cultural Observatory Section, Research Department at CNCA.

The discussion paper has been developed entirely with the Summit programme in mind to ensure that what is presented within will provide a level of insight into the presentations you will hear in Santiago, Chile. In line with the design of each day’s sessions, key ideas that have emerged from the research are presented for reflection. Firstly, it was evident that significant changes, both global and local, had occurred at a moment of crisis or a critical point, and that the impact of the ripple effect was still unfolding. How do the arts and culture harness the opportunities created by such changes? This research is complemented by a set of case studies from around the world that demonstrate innovative approaches to cultural management.
