IV. PARTNERSHIP MANAGEMENT & VIRTUAL ONLINE
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
To support and build upon organizational partnerships and to form a sense of global community, the TIG
team: hosted webinars, facilitated peer-to-peer learning opportunities for organizational leaders, provided
support calls, developed resources, and hosted online events for young creatives to connect with one another
throughout the Adobe Creativity Grants program. This section outlines the following webinars and events that
was facilitated by the TIG team:
Partnership Engagement Webinars
The Partnership Engagement Webinars were facilitated every six weeks with each of the three Project Grant
cohorts to form a sense of community and peer support amongst organizational leaders. These webinars
created space where organizational leaders were able to exchange ideologies, brainstorm ideas on how to
revamp their programs for virtual program delivery, and how they can continue to engage and inspire their
young creatives. In 2020, because of the COVID 19 pandemic, these check-ins also became a place for peer-
to-peer learning as each organization navigated the best approaches to virtually engage their young creatives.
Community Films and Exploring Creativity:
A Virtual Summit
To continue to create new innovative virtual spaces for
young creatives to connect and converse with one another
during the COVID 19 pandemic, TIG hosted Community
Films and Exploring Creativity: A Virtual Summit. Over
three days, this virtual summit brought together 35 young
filmmakers from Canada, Sri Lanka, the UK, and the USA
to connect, collaborate, and learn from film industry
leaders. The summit also featured 6 original short films
that were submitted by the participants. To learn more
