Congratulations to our very own Carmel Lim Torres!
This 9-month program builds a peer-to-peer network of young and emerging professionals within the fields of culture, education, and social change. Jointly hosted by ITAC and Creative Generation, the Young & Emerging Leaders Forum – or YELF – builds from a 2020-21 pilot program. In it’s design, the program will recognize young practitioners from across the fields and be responsive to the needs of the cohort fostering a collaborative learning environment based in critical reflection intended to interrogate, mutually share and learn, and radically reimagaine future possibilities of one’s work.
