“We will be a self-confident people. Proud of our heritage and our uniqueness. Confident about what we can achieve – anything. Assertive of the standards we deserve and expect – high.” 50 years from now, the creative industry will be one of the most dynamic and innovative across the world. You will find people practicing all variety of disciplines – constantly challenging and expanding our view of what is possible. The sharing of knowledge and experience will thrive through active trade associations, world-class educational institutions, online hubs and the comprehensive and compulsory incorporation of the arts in school curriculums (from day 1). Our cities will have transformed into places that nurture the mind and body. Safety and ease of movement; a multitude of green spaces in which to relax and play; cultural destinations to educate and inspire and; a 24-hour economy. We will be a self-confident people. Proud of our heritage and our uniqueness. Confident about what we can achieve – anything. Assertive of the standards we deserve and expect – high. Demanding of our leaders and strictly unaccepting of incompetence. Tolerant, appreciative even, of diversity – in every form in which it manifests. Considerate of all that is around us, the planet that feeds us and the people that share it with us. Celebratory, always. 79|www.afroellemagazine.com
