ASEF Roundtable Series

To mark ASEF's 25th anniversary, ASEF Culture initiated a consultation process among its stakeholders, partners, and friends to look at the current scene in Asia-Europe cultural relations and discuss with like-minded organisations possible strategies for a post-pandemic recovery.

Titled “Recalibrating the Compass: What Future for Asia-Europe Cultural Relations?”, this series of 5 closed-door roundtables facilitated conversations on pressing themes for the arts and culture communities in Asia and Europe with a view to designing a new, more resilient, and participatory approach for the future. The series culminated in a public webinar in early 2023, where findings and recommendations from the roundtables were shared and discussed in an open forum.

A report on this consultation exercise is available here.
