- Why is culture outside of CSR or under represented by social enterprises?
- Are cultural enterprises committed to social change?
- What is the common language of CSR, Cultural and Social Enterprises? 

 

Come and join us for an open discussion and watch the premiere in London of the film Delhi City Symphony, the documentary of the process behind the project and the development of CSR as Cultural Social Responsibility.

 

This event explore these issues and the multidisciplinary approach of Big Bang Lab to Cultural Heritage as innovation strategy towards social change, sustainability and socio-economic development.  

 

Background


In 2009 a group of underprivileged children living in shelter homes in Delhi participated in the creation of a documentary about the city shooting around their neighbourhoods, the streets and a Heritage site, coming up with their conclusions about social and environmental issues affecting the city. As a result of this participatory creative process they also engaged with their own musical heritage by producing new music for the film. The live performance took place on World Heritage Day at one of the central cultural venues in the city.

After the project finished we were left with the big question:  what next?  How this model will benefit communities in the UK and beyond?
