We are all on a journey of learning and unlearning. I’ve always heard that it’s more difficult to re-teach a student a concept once they’ve learned it incorrectly - and I think the same is true for unlearning. We are creatures of habit, and must make a deliberate effort to do this type of work. Who will lead the charge? If Colombia is any indication, it’s the youth who will continue to push global societies to unlearn. Just as it was here in the United States and around the world during the Black Lives Matter summer protests of 2020, youth are the catalysts for unlearning - and often, art is their medium. One of my favorite concepts that I gleaned from this experience is the idea of Deja Tu Huella. In Latin American cultures, this phrase embraces the action of pushing boundaries with your unique individuality and translates to “leave your mark” in English. One of the youth art exhibits I witnessed was entitled Deja Tu Huella and featured youth contributions of what they hoped to see in Colombia’s future - perhaps their own contributions to the betterment of society. I love the specificity and action-oriented nature of this phrase, and it seems to be fairly embedded in the fabric of Latin American cultures. What could be more profound than doing the hard work of unlearning and passing that on, thereby leaving your mark for the greater wellbeing of society?
我们都在学习和忘却的过程中。我总是听说，一旦学生错误地学习了一个概念，就很难重新教授它——我认为忘记这个概念也是如此。我们是有习惯的生物，必须慎重地努力去做这类工作。谁将带头冲锋?如果哥伦比亚有什么迹象的话，那就是年轻人将继续推动全球社会忘掉过去。就像2020年“黑人的命也是命”(Black Lives Matter)夏季抗议活动在美国和世界各地发生的情况一样，年轻人是遗忘的催化剂——而艺术往往是他们的媒介。我从这次经历中得到的最喜欢的概念之一是Deja Tu Huella。在拉丁美洲文化中，这个短语包含了用你独特的个性突破界限的行为，翻译成英语是“留下你的印记”。我目睹的其中一个青年艺术展览名为Deja Tu Huella，展示了青年对哥伦比亚未来的期望，也许是他们自己对改善社会的贡献。我喜欢这个短语的特殊性和以行动为导向的本质，它似乎在拉丁美洲文化的结构中相当根深蒂固。还有什么能比努力忘掉过去并将其传承下去，从而为社会的更大福祉留下自己的印记更深刻呢?

From October 11-15, 2021, the World Alliance for Arts Education’s Executive Forum authorized the 10th World Summit on Arts Education to be hosted by the University of Florida and the State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education (SEADAE). During the 2021 Virtual World Summit, titled Arts Impact: Context Matters, over 200 delegates from twenty-six nations on all six continents gathered to network, share research, and examine the multiple and varied ways in which arts assessments are designed and implemented around the world. Throughout the Summit, multiple discussions by various groups of delegates resulted in rich sets of qualitative data that were analyzed and interpreted daily by the conference leaders and rapporteur. These analyses were used to modify and update the concepts and ideas found within the resulting "Guiding Principles for the Assessment of Arts Learning."

As observers to the intersectional fields of culture, education, and social change, Creative Generation witnessed the chosen organizational structure of “networks” come into vogue – particularly as smaller, community-based organizations have begun to participate in larger-scale, collaborative initiatives. In almost all examples, the individuals and organizations involved do their collaborative work through a “network,” using any number of connections and patterns. This qualitative inquiry sought to understand how applying Network Theory to organizational structures can cultivate the conditions to support young creatives. Through literature and conducting interviews with leaders of diverse networks in the arts and cultural education fields, this project provides an overview of Network Theory and examines examples of various models. This report proposes the following set of provocations for the field to interrogate the use of Network Theory in their projects’ implementation: strong connections between the network and its participants, shared power among network leadership and participants, clear expectations about funding, and specific role for young creatives in decision-making.

Young people are envisioning the future of their communities. The future is theirs. Youth see the challenges our communities are facing today and understand the need to use their creativity to dismantle our problematic systems. As adults, we must support the creative work of youth, cede power where possible, and uplift their visions for the future. To do this, we must understand the immense and expansive impact of creative youth on communities. Through this research initiative, young creative people, their adult allies, and a team of researchers have reviewed literature, data sets, and case studies – comprised of interviews, narratives, and artistic works – to examine the challenges and opportunities that exist at the intersection of arts & culture, community development, and youth development. This field scan seeks to answer the question: What impact do creative youth have on communities? Following an introduction that includes the research design and methods, we provide an outline of the context of this work that emphasizes where the field is now, as addressed by the current literature and the combined crises and insights of 2020. We then present the key findings that seek to expand on our simple answer to the question posed above presented through the perspectives of young creatives. Unabashedly, young creatives believe their projects benefit both people and places and promote more just and thriving communities. In the following two sections, we provide emerging lessons that include both additional learnings from the research and a set of researcher-generated provocations articulating the ideas that young creatives shared about the future of their projects in communities. Upon deep analysis, we conclude that through creative youth & community development projects, creative young people impact their communities in significant ways which too often go unacknowledged. We conclude that in communities where creative youth & community development projects are present, youth see a future where: Youth increase creativity and cultivate greater agency in themselves and others Communities (people and places) are more sustainable and responsive Youth-serving organizations honor personal identity and build collective belonging Places and their populations are healthier, safer, and better able to foster wellbeing Youth and adults catalyze intergenerational cultural continuity Further, we found an increased importance of partnering across sectors and among stakeholders to increase the impacts of creative youth in communities. Creative youth believe their projects benefit from working “in community” with others, meaning strategically investing time, resources, and relationships with other youth, adults, projects, and organizations. By doing so, they believe their projects have a greater impact on people and places. Through our analysis of the full sample of programs, we discovered a significant portion of the field uses youth development and creative
