Public Forum: Asia + Europe = Australia
In 2010, Australia, along with Russia and New Zealand joined ASEM, the Asia-Europe meeting. But were we invited as part of Asia or Europe? Australia is a rare hybrid, we have a strong cultural empathy with Europe but our geographical location puts us in Asia. How do we maximise this potential? Can we turn Australia into a productive two-way portal between the two continents? And in the broader picture, how do we develop a cultural strategy that is international, inclusive and multi-lateral?
You are invited to a conversation.
