Call for a Creative Producer or Team for The Missing Pillar Talk Global – Culture and Sustainable Development 

Apply to produce and project manage The Missing Pillar Talk. 

The Missing Pillar Talks explore the role of arts, culture and heritage in shaping a sustainable future. They look to the UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals as a useful framework that can support these sectors, encouraging local action and multilateral partnership through shared global goals. 

You will use your experience of curating similar events/discussions and your knowledge of the vision of Agenda 2030, and the supporting 17 SDGs, to meet the following aims:  

• Expand the scope of the Talks so far: connect with practice around the world (including in the UK) that is helping achieve the UN SDGs and share informative and useful practice, learning and resources.  
• Create an engaging, inclusive event inviting practitioners and policymakers who are curious about Agenda 2030 and learning about or discussing the opportunities, key challenges/experiences, and tools and resources.    
• Highlight the UN Agenda 2030 and the SDGs as a cross-cutting and useful framework for sustainable development globally.   

Outputs will include  

• A multi-session online event between 6 hours and 8 hours in total across two or more days, including a main Talk or Talks and ancillary sessions. All sessions will be BSL interpreted and live captioned. Please consider time zones, languages, and accessibility. 
• Recordings of panel discussions where appropriate (any ancillary, participatory learning spaces will not be recorded) and other digital assets.  
• Marketing assets to promote the Missing Pillar Talk online. We are looking for creative and innovative ways of attracting wide audiences. 
• A short event report summarising the key achievements and learnings from the events, as well as top-level figures.  

You will be available to begin the project at the beginning of October, delivering the event in February 2022.
