Conference Program SEVENTH ANNUAL STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHILANTHROPY JUNE 21-23 / 2O18 SNFCC / ATHENS / GREECE CONFERENCE PROGRAM THE SEVENTH ANNUAL StaVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDatION INTERNatIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHILANTHROPY will explore one of the most discussed and debated concepts of our times, that of The 21st Century is quickly evolving into an era defined by global disruption, as socio-economic changes and groundbreaking technological advancements are seemingly having a major impact and are turning upside down standard modes of operation, models and assumptions in every area of life, including the field of philanthropy. The conference will examine, among others, the effects that pervasive inequality has in disrupting social cohesion both in economic terms as well as due to the unequal access to opportunities, education and those factors that facilitate social mobility. On the other hand, the conference will present those who through their groundbreaking work attempt to disrupt this cycle of inequality and bring about change both on a local and global level. Drawing from the Foundation’s global network of partners, we are trying to team up with experts and leaders in their respective fields, to pose difficult questions, deconstruct and explore in depth the meaning and consequences of the ubiquitously used and often misunderstood notion of disruption. Participation to the Seventh Annual Stavros Niarchos Foundation International Conference on Philanthropy requires registration. The conference will be live streamed via the SNF website, www.snf.org.

  • Charles Hazlewood - Brief Biography
    Charles Hazlewood - Brief Biography “What Heston Blumenthal is to food, Charles Hazlewood is to music.” The Guardian Charles Hazlewood, British conductor, is a passionate advocate for a wider audience for orchestral music. After winning the European Broadcasting Union conducting competition in his 20’s, he has enjoyed a global and pioneering career conducting some of the world’s greatest orchestras including the Swedish Radio Symphony, Gothenburg & Malmö Symphonies, Copenhagen Philharmonic, the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam and the Philharmonia (London). Hazlewood is known for breaking new ground. By re-inventing the presentation of orchestral music and by collaborating with many ‘stars’ from across the genres of music Hazlewood has sought to embed the ‘magical instrument of the orchestra’ in 21st century music scene; but always with the same goal: to expose the deep, always-modern joy of orchestral music to a new audience. Hazlewood has conducted over 200 world premieres of new scores by contemporary composers, and worked with contemporary musicians as diverse as Wyclef Jean, Professor Green, Goldie, Nigel Kennedy and Steve Reich. He is the first conductor to headline with an orchestra at the Glastonbury International Festival of Contemporary Arts, the greatest rock festival in the world. Hazlewood's work as a composer and music director has been received with consistent critical acclaim. His South African township 'Carmen' film sung in Xhosa won the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival, his South African musical version of the mediaeval plays 'The Mysteries' was a sell out in London's West End and provoked the first leader on music theatre in the Times in 40 years; his re-invention (with Carl Grose) of John Gay's, the Beggar's Opera (Dead Dog in a Suitcase and Other Love Songs), was selected by the Guardian for its top 10 shows of 2015.

  • The Passion of Joan of Arc with Adrian Utley, Will Gregory and Charles Hazlewood Supported by Hauser & Wirth Somerset
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release The Passion of Joan of Arc With Adrian Utley, Will Gregory and Charles Hazlewood Supported by Hauser & Wirth Somerset Wells Cathedral, Somerset, England Friday 7 October 2016, 8 pm Hauser & Wirth Somerset, in collaboration with Adrian Utley (Portishead), Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) and award- winning conductor Charles Hazlewood, presents a special live orchestral performance and film screening in the magnificent medieval setting of Wells Cathedral. Adrian Utley and Will Gregory have devised a new score sound-tracking the dramatic and moving narrative of Danish film director Carl Theodor Dreyer’s ‘The Passion of Joan of Arc’ (1928), which chronicles Joan of Arc’s trial and execution during her captivity in France. Initially commissioned by the Colston Hall and supported by The Watershed, Bristol, the inventive new score will be performed live alongside a screening of the film, led by Charles Hazlewood with members of the Monteverdi Choir, percussion, horns, harp and synthesizers. Wells Cathedral is located at the heart of England’s smallest city, Wells in Somerset, situated 13 miles from Hauser & Wirth Somerset. Cited as one of the earliest English cathedrals to be constructed in Gothic style, the building is a treasured and significant architectural landmark in the south west of England. The distinguished setting will provide a unique opportunity to witness Hazlewood, Utley and Gregory’s breathtaking and inspired production. Located on the outskirts of Bruton, Hauser & Wirth Somerset is an innovative world-class gallery and arts centre that works in partnership with many local institutions, businesses and organisations to foster local creative talent and champion charities related to art, community, conservation and education.

When the UK won the bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we promised that this ‘once in a lifetime’ event would include a great cultural programme that could involve people nationwide. When we are asked why, we go back to the example of Ancient Greece, where the Olympic Games included artists as well as athletes. As recently as the London 1948 Games, artists were awarded medals along with the athletes. This Festival has invited artists from all over the world to create amazing events from Shetland to Cornwall, from Enniskillen to Edinburgh, from Hackney to Hadrian’s Wall – with more than 10 million FREE opportunities to take part. The Festival would not be possible without our cultural and community partners throughout the UK. But most of all, it simply would not have happened without our great funding partners and sponsors.

  • Prioritizing-Place-A
    The Center on Philanthropy & Public Policy Sol Price Center for Social Innovation PrioritizingPlace A National Forum on Place-Based Initiatives December 4 – 5, 2014 Davidson Conference Center University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy Forum Sponsors Welcome Dear Colleague, We are delighted you could join us for Prioritizing Place: A National Forum on Place-Based Initiatives. This gathering is the culmination of a year-long inquiry into the state of philanthropic initiatives and public sector efforts to address geographically-concentrated poverty, undertaken by The Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy and the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation. This inquiry has provided an opportunity to step back and take a thoughtful look at the experience of place-based initiatives – whether undertaken by philanthropy or government or a combination of the sectors. We hope that this forum helps to elevate the dialogue above specific best practices or discussions about what works to embrace the larger significance and longevity of place-based as a strategy for the field, and that the insights generated over these two days will be useful to philanthropic and public decision makers as they chart their strategies for moving forward. Our effort has been spearheaded by Elwood Hopkins of Emerging Markets. We have been guided by a first-rate national advisory board. Based on their advice and recommendations, we framed the intellectual agenda for this inquiry and identified leading experts to participate in five small and focused discussions – held in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C. from April to June 2014 – addressing a different aspect of place-based work.

    NPS Form 10-900-a (Rev. 8/2002) OMB No. 1024-0018 (Expires 5-31-2012) United States Department of the Interior Prospect Park ResidentialPut Here Historic District National Park Service Name of Property Hennepin County, MN County and State National Register of Historic Places N/A Continuation Sheet Name of multiple listing (if applicable) Section number 8 Page 1 NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The civil engineers who laid out the Prospect Park plats, Samuel Harlan Baker and Joseph H. Gilmore, were influenced by the work of their contemporary, Horace William Shaler (H. W. S.) Cleveland, and the picturesque landscape designs that are a hallmark of the era. Upon the framework of these plats, the residents shaped Prospect Park’s character and appearance. The neighborhood is significant as the home of the first community association in the city of Minneapolis, the Prospect Park Improvement Association (PPIA). The PPIA quickly established itself as a major influence, effecting changes ranging from the removal of weeds to the construction of the neighborhood’s iconic water tower. The community’s culture was enriched by its proximity to the University of Minnesota, which drew many academics to Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Historic District is one of three suburban-type developments that were established in Minneapolis in the late nineteenth century. While the architectural design in the other two, Kenwood and Washburn Park, is relatively homogeneous, following the pattern of many of the city’s neighborhoods, the houses in Prospect Park display a spectrum of the residential styles that appeared in Minneapolis during the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century.

  • Cross-Sector Collaboration Is Vital to Economic Development Delivered Nov
    Speech by Rip Rapson: Cross-Sector Collaboration Is Vital to Economic Development Delivered Nov. 13, 2014, at the Boston Federal Reserve Bank. November 13, 2014 Prabal Chakrabarti asked if I might reflect on three questions: 1. Why is it sensible to collaborate on economic development? 2. Can collaboration lead to economic growth and, if so, how? 3. What examples of collaboration from my philanthropic experience might work just as well in smaller cities? A tough assignment with an audience of this kind of sophistication and experience. It’s made even more difficult by the reality that there is nothing more locally determined and particular to context than economic revitalization: the players, the market forces, the history and on and on. So I’ll stick to Prabal’s script and try to reflect on my own experiences with the hope that there will be some resonance to your circumstance. I’ll accordingly organize my remarks into three parts: • First, I want to make the overarching case that it is indeed sensible to pursue collaboration as a vehicle to enable economic development. • Second, I’ll describe three sets of collaborations I’ve been involved with that have influenced economic development, either directly or indirectly: one set spurred by a broad-based community consortium, one by philanthropy and one by the private sector. • And third, I’ll close by suggesting a handful of principles that might be susceptible to migrating to the Working Cities effort. I. The Case for Cross-Sector Collaboration I rarely talk to an economic-development director or a public official or the head of a business-development organization who believes that community development is a straightforward proposition that can be best accomplished by simply going it alone.

  • Way to Grow: a Proposed Plan to Promote School Readiness of Minneapolis Children
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 303 243 PS 017 729 AUTHOR Kurz-Riemer, Karen; And Others TITLE Way To Grow: A Proposed Plan To Promote School Readiness of Minneapolis Children. INSTITUTION Minnesota Youth Coordinating Board, Minneapolis. SPONS AGENCY McKnight Foundation, Minneapolis, MN. PUB DATE Dec 87 NOTE 69p. PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Community Involvement; Cooperation; Costs; Delivery Systems; Early Childhood Education; *Ecological Factors; Family Programs; Guidelines; Organization; Parent Child Relationship; *Parent Part.v-ipation; *Prevention; Program Descriptions; *Program Implementation; *School Readiness; Social Services IDENTIFIERS *Minnesota (Minneapolis); Prenatal Care ABSTRACT A coordinated continuum of comprehensive, community-based services that help Minneapolis parents meet the developmental needs of their children from birth through the fifth year is proposed as a way to increase children's readiness for school. After an executive summary and brief introductory chapter, contents of the document focus on: (1) key themes related to intervention, implementation, delivery services, planning and evaluation, and other topics; (2) the conceptual framework of the plan; (3) dimensions of the plan; (4) implementation guidelines; and (5)'related issues. The conceptual framework covers such topics as school readiness, an ecological perspective, a prevention-oriented approach, targeted services, prenatal outreach services, family support, home visits, and means of enhancing the parent-child relationship. The plan for the early childhood school readiness program consists of five components: community linkages, a direct services continuum, public education and outreach, education and training, and research and evaluation. Implementation is discussed in terms of organizational structure, timeline, cost and funding. Issues concerning mobility are also considered.
