Artscape's video: Creative Places Spaces: What We Learned

In October 2009 delegates from across Canada and beyond joined Artscape in Toronto for our third Creative Places + Spaces: The Collaborative City conference. In a packed two-day program inspirational keynote speakers and ground breaking projects made the case for the power of collaboration to solve complex multi dimensional challenges and to fuel innovation. Over the next 5 months "The Campaign of Ideas: Video Knowledge Exchange" series will bring you a regular diet of conference highlights focusing on the major themes of the conference and some of the tools for collaboration that were presented. The third video in The Campaign of Ideas: Video Knowledge Exchange series is entitled What We Learned. Coupled with Storyboard Inks visual storytelling, this video reflects three key lessons that have traditionally held us back from collaborating effectively and features quotes from speakers at Creative Places + Spaces: The Collaborative City that will help us move forward. Stay tuned in two weeks' time for the next series of videos in The Campaign of Ideas series , which will feature video highlights of various speakers including Sir Ken Robinson, Richard Florida, Lyn Heward, David Buckland, Charles Landry, Aled Edwards, Ilse Treurnicht, Pekka Sinervo, Allyson Hewitt, Gerry Flahive, Katerina Cizek, and Dr. Katherine Rouleau.
