THE LOUISE BLOUIN FOUNDATION<br />
The Louise Blouin Foundation is an international not-for-profit organization that was founded in 2005 with<br />
the goal of supporting heads of state in their efforts to make globalization work for their citizens and helping<br />
global agencies manage cooperation within the global system. The Foundation acts as a think tank for heads<br />
of state, as well as for leaders in science, business, culture and politics, in order to share best practices and<br />
develop innovative solutions for pressing social, economic, environmental and security challenges at the local<br />
and global levels.<br />
The Foundation’s work is multidisciplinary, inclusive and based on innovative partnerships where culture plays<br />
a privileged role in addressing critical global issues. Through its work, the Foundation aims to find new ways to<br />
increase opportunities for collaboration on development, to reduce antagonism and to improve the quality and<br />
dignity of life for people and communities around the world.<br />
The Foundation’s mission consists of a number of strategic initiatives that are both thematically oriented and<br />
regionally focused.<br />
Foundation Thematic Initiatives:<br />
The Foundation is focused on supporting research and discussion forums on culture and creativity, neuroscience,<br />
education, Internet technology and foreign policy. The Foundation aims:<br />
• to emphasize and support the role of cultural understanding and dialogue within diplomatic and<br />
political processes<br />
• to identify the impact of creativity on the brain through advances in neuroscience<br />
• to work with leaders in the information and technology sectors to develop innovative online tools<br />
and solutions to address global gaps in development<br />
• to develop strategies and responses to foreign policy issues that are global in scope such as global<br />
security and terrorism, the reform and retooling of global agencies, the environment and<br />
geo-economics.<br />
The Foundation also administers the Louise Blouin Institute, an exhibition and educational space that houses<br />
the Foundation’s work in London, U.K. The Institute presents the work of individual artists in temporary exhibitions,<br />
installations, performances and screenings. Further, the Institute promotes a lively program of lectures,<br />
debates and workshops related to the Foundation’s areas of interest.<br />

ABOUT THE GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT<br />
Since 2005, the Louise Blouin Foundation, with the support of the United Nations Office for Partnerships, has<br />
organized the annual Global Creative Leadership Summit to identify and implement solutions based<br />
on international best practices to the challenges arising from globalization.<br />
The Summit brings heads of state together with representatives of global agencies and 120 leaders in the<br />
areas of science, technology, culture, business and politics. Together the delegates address the interconnected<br />
threats and challenges of the 21st century through multidisciplinary exchanges that place cultural dialogue<br />
and understanding at the fore. The open, constructive discussion facilitates the creation of cross-cultural networks<br />
committed to change and transformative action.<br />
The Summit encourages collaboration across disciplines in an effort to spark creative thinking and to ultimately<br />
develop innovative approaches to global problems. The Summit focuses on issues as diverse as emerging<br />
global security threats, climate change, foreign policy and education, with specific attention to development<br />
and foreign policy concerns in Africa, China, Russia and the Middle East.<br />
Over the past three years, the Summit has been honored to feature President José Manuel Barroso, of the<br />
European Commission; Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, of the Netherlands; President Ólafur Ragnar<br />
Grímsson, of the Republic of Iceland; President Bharrat Jagdeo, of Guyana; President Stjepan Mesic of Croatia;<br />
President Bingu wa Mutharika, of Malawi; Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, of NATO; and President<br />
Manuel Zelaya, of Honduras. In addition, the Summit has hosted a variety of distinguished international<br />
leaders, such as Nobel laureate Eric Kandel; anthropologist Jane Goodall; business leaders Harold Burson,<br />
founder of Burson-Marsteller; Henry Silverman, CEO of Realogy Corp., Craig Barrett, chairman of Intel and<br />
Lex Fenwick, CEO of Bloomberg, along with Riz Khan of Al Jazeera; David Boies, chairman of Boies, Schiller<br />
& Flexner and UNICEF executive director Ann Veneman. A full listing of Summit participants from 2008 can<br />
be found at:<br />
http://www.creativeleadershipsummit.org/speakers/speakers.php<br />
The Summit has been covered by a wide-range of media, including CNN, Al Jazeera, the Financial Times, The<br />
Economist, the BBC, and the International Herald Tribune. Although this is an intimate event, with only 120<br />
delegates, the Summit proceedings are Web cast live and, its conclusions shape thinking, create new projects<br />
and stimulate debate across the globe. The Summit proceedings and commitments are also written up in a<br />
white paper available for download from the Summit Website.<br />

<strong>MEDIA</strong> PARTNERSHIP<br />
GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT DISCUSSION TOPICS<br />
Innovation<br />
Internet and New Technology<br />
Despite being seen as commonplace today, information technology continues to transform businesses,<br />
governments, social relationships, commerce and the way we understand ourselves and our neighbors.<br />
The Summit investigates the innovative potential of IT and its impact at the local and global levels.<br />
Global Health<br />
Genomics<br />
Biological Components of Behavior<br />
Research Capacity and Development<br />
As part of ongoing research efforts and involvement with the sciences, the Global Health session aims to<br />
address research in genomics and how new developments in synthetic and computational biology can<br />
help cure cancer, Alzheimer’s and serious epidemics. The subject of Biological Components of<br />
Behavior plays a key role within the context of Global Health, as well as in many other Summit panels, since<br />
neuroscience has much to tell us regarding emotion, behavior and decision-making processes that is applicable<br />
to other disciplines. Research Capacity and Development and the ability of the scientific and medical<br />
communities to adapt and develop research programs that are tailored to the needs of local communities are<br />
part of the critical discussions in the Global Health session.<br />
Education, Creativity and the Mind<br />
The Summit brings together leaders in neuroscience, the arts, sports and education to identify the best<br />
practices to promote mental, physical and social development so individuals can creatively address the<br />
challenges of the 21st century. This panel is intimately related to the Foundation’s interest in understanding<br />
how neurological processes, at every stage of life relate to individuals’ ability to learn, create and understand<br />
one other. This Summit session lasts some four hours and brings together a multidisciplinary spectrum of<br />
thinkers on human development to address the issue.
<strong>MEDIA</strong> PARTNERSHIP<br />
GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT DISCUSSION TOPICS<br />
Global Security<br />
Emerging Threats<br />
Human Security<br />
As evidenced by the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, devastation on a mass scale can be carried out<br />
with relatively small means and be coordinated from the other side of the globe. Furthermore, the Internet<br />
and global telecommunications, as well as advances in the biological and computer sciences, make it more<br />
possible than ever for security threats to emerge from unconventional locations. The Summit asks how to<br />
defend against Emerging Threats while preserving the liberties critical to a democratic global<br />
community.<br />
The Summit also addresses issues of Human Security and Human Rights. Under these topics, the<br />
Summit looks at how best to stop drug and human trafficking, provide peace, security and justice to those<br />
afflicted by war and build institutional infrastructure to empower local and national governments.<br />
Environment<br />
Climate Change vs. Economic Growth<br />
The debate on climate change and the protection of the environment plays a central role in the Summit since<br />
it concerns not only how nations can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but how a transition to cleaner<br />
energy sources can be made economically viable. This debate, like those concerning many other topics at the<br />
Summit, focuses on the consequences of inaction in a situation where the challenge is understood and<br />
practical solutions have been proposed. This session brings together scientists and policy makers as well as<br />
entrepreneurs engaged in funding, testing and deploying new technologies and new industries.<br />

<strong>MEDIA</strong> PARTNERSHIP<br />
GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT DISCUSSION TOPICS<br />
Foreign Policy<br />
New Global Order<br />
Global Agencies<br />
Philanthro-Capitalism<br />
Foreign policy and geopolitical concerns at both the local and global levels are important focuses of the<br />
Summit. The Summit acknowledges the dramatic change in the balance of global power due to the incremental<br />
rise Brazil, Russia, India and China, as well as the increasing challenges to American power resulting in part<br />
from its unilateral engagements after September 11, 2001. Therefore a key task of the Summit is to map out<br />
changes in global relations and to develop an understanding of the emerging new global order.<br />
Central to the discussion of globalization are foreign policy and global relations, as the Foundation believes<br />
there are no ‘far-off’ crises in a world of interconnected threats and challenges. Among other questions, this<br />
discussion asks what the consequences are of not taking the ‘right’ action to solve many of the world’s<br />
problems, such as the Israel/Palestine conflict or prolonged and persistent poverty in Africa. Unlike other<br />
forums, the Summit draws attention to the role of neuroscience and the understanding of emotions in the<br />
decision-making process, an emerging area of research vital to the development of new techniques for<br />
conflict resolution and the avoidance of war.<br />
Within this general investigation, the Summit seeks to identify how global agencies can reinvent<br />
themselves to better manage a world that is becoming increasingly interdependent, yet constantly fraught with<br />
conflict and inequality. Further, the Summit asks what role innovative and private-sector approaches to the<br />
philanthropic enterprise can play in addressing global challenges.<br />
Cultural Diplomacy<br />
Cities, Culture and Globalization<br />
Culture Beyond Borders<br />
The Foundation places special emphasis on culture as a vehicle for greater understanding, interaction and<br />
exchange with the ‘other’. There is increasing evidence that cultural institutions and the culture industries – art<br />
galleries, museums, architecture – play an important role in promoting the well-being of cities, as well as in the<br />
relations and interactions among communities, ethnic groups and nations. The notion of Culture Beyond<br />
Borders is a defining concept for the Summit since culture is seen not simply confined to<br />
aesthetics, but is deeply connected to history, identity and politics.
<strong>MEDIA</strong> PARTNERSHIP<br />
GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT DISCUSSION TOPICS<br />
Regional Spotlight<br />
Africa<br />
The theme of African development, trade and economics are central both to the Summit and to the efforts<br />
of the Louise Blouin Institute. The Africa roundtable is an extended session lasting approximately four hours<br />
and in the past has featured in-depth discussion of African development needs between heads of state, leading<br />
CEOs and figures from the NGO world, educators and economists involved in development work. The session<br />
is used to identify potential solutions for Africa, based on best practices put forward by delegates.<br />
Beyond this Summit session devoted to Africa, the Louise Blouin Foundation has launched an investment-andtechnology<br />
initiative for Africa, to generate greater direct foreign investment, as well as to help maximize the<br />
efforts of NGOs and global agencies on the ground. [See Regional Initiatives section for more information.]<br />
Regional Spotlight<br />
Russia<br />
Russia is a key emerging economy of global importance not only because of its vast resource wealth but because<br />
of its position on the world stage, where it exerts significant influence in Eastern Europe and Central<br />
Asia. Russia therefore must be viewed as a vital and strategic partner in addressing global issues, whether they<br />
are related to energy security, the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction or the raising of living<br />
standards throughout the region. The Summit’s focus on Russia addresses the nation’s vital role in the international<br />
community.<br />
As part of its regional focus on Russia, and to encourage openness and cultural exchange, the Louise Blouin<br />
Foundation will host an exhibition in collaboration with Pace Wildenstein Gallery of works by the artist Louise<br />
Nevelson, and another exhibition of new Russian contemporary art, in the fall of 2009 in London. [See<br />

GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT DISCUSSION TOPICS<br />
Regional Spotlight<br />
China<br />
China has witnessed a profound opening up over the past 30 years as a result of the American diplomatic<br />
effort of détente. During this period, China has developed into an economic super power, exerting influence<br />
on Asia, Africa and around the globe. The Summit provides a forum to discuss this new era of Chinese<br />
openness, economic development and cultural exchange. It will also examine the country’s<br />
influence on commodity markets as well as its relationship with Africa.<br />
To encourage cultural exchange between China and the West, and foster greater understanding, respect<br />
and mutual support, the Louise Blouin Foundation launched the China Cultures Fund, to support Tibetan<br />
and Chinese culture at the international level. [See Regional Initiatives section for more information.]<br />
Regional Spotlight<br />
Middle East<br />
The Middle East has been marked by tension resulting from September 11, 2001, the Iraq War, the conflict<br />
between Israel and Palestine and the emergence of Iran as a regional power. However, many recent<br />
developments, such as the emergence of the Emirates as major global centers of architecture, culture tourism<br />
and finance, as well as Saudi Arabia’s heavy investment in similar areas, have created a new dynamic<br />
within the region. The Summit addresses the twin issues of economic development and cultural<br />
dialogue in the Middle East, identifying ways to lower tension and to build a sustainable peace. [See the<br />
Regional Initiatives section for further information.]<br />
Regional Spotlight<br />
India<br />
India is on track to be the information technology superpower of the 21st century. Considering the country’s<br />
successes in developing its hi-tech sector and its groundbreaking systems of microfinance, microcredit<br />
and microhealth, the Summit asks what India can teach us that can be replicated elsewhere. The country’s<br />
rapid development, though, poses challenges to India’s government such as how to ensure equitable development<br />
that achieves economic growth and fosters entrepreneurship without leaving millions behind.

Art Exhibitions - Louise Blouin Institute<br />
The Foundation believes that art and culture are tools of global diplomacy. To that end, the Foundation and<br />
the Louise Blouin Institute host contemporary-art exhibitions of leading artists that provide commentary<br />
and insight into the issues and challenges presented by globalization. For instance, the current exhibition at<br />
the Institute, “Cold War Aesthetics”, is of works by renowned contemporary Chinese artist Wang Guangyi.<br />
The works on display are both metaphors for the past that we have avoided and warnings to world super<br />
powers about the potential emergence of cold war mentality. In the short and medium term, the Foundation<br />
is looking to feature emerging African, Chinese, Russian and Middle Eastern artists. The Foundation will also<br />
promote <strong>ArtInfo</strong>.com as a site which can host artists and art galleries from these regions and countries.<br />

Investment/Development Proposal for Africa<br />
In Africa, weak legal institutions increase the uncertainty surrounding investment and contractual obligations.<br />
In this environment of high risk, the vast potential for direct foreign investment is unrealized. The Foundation<br />
is working with the International Chamber of Commerce to address this by encouraging stronger legal guarantees<br />
for investment. Further, the Foundation is keen to use its networks to negotiate agreements that attract<br />
investors into the areas of agroprocessing, infrastructure and energy, as well as to broker relationships with<br />
interested companies and sponsor a series of investor and entrepreneur roundtables to generate innovative<br />
ideas and strategies. The Foundation’s strategy will promote public-private partnerships, as well as encourage<br />
corporations to invest a percentage of profits – at least 5 percent - back into the country in a sustainable<br />
manner.<br />
Art + Hope<br />
The Foundation is working closely with the UN Office for Drugs and Crime to support the work of the Victims<br />
Trust Fund of the International Criminal Court in its efforts to empower victims of grave human-rights<br />
violations. The Foundation is supporting a project in which renowned artist Ross Bleckner will engage in a<br />
painting workshop with children abducted in the war in northern Uganda to help them come to terms with<br />
their experiences. Proceeds from the sale of works by the participants will be used to support affected communities.<br />
As an extension of the Art + Hope project, the Foundation will support the production of a BBC documentary<br />
on the use of art therapy to rehabilitate children affected by war in northern Uganda. It features Bleckner and<br />
the head of the UN Office for Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa, who demonstrate alternative ways to<br />
bring hope to communities affected by widespread human-rights violations.<br />

LINK Project<br />
The LINK project is a collaboration between the Foundation and engineers at Google and Wikipedia to create<br />
a search engine and database for the world’s global development agencies, development enterprises and<br />
NGOs that will maximize information sharing and minimize overlap of aid and development efforts. In Africa<br />
and throughout the developing world, this project will be particularly beneficial in providing information to donors<br />
and supporters of development organizations, as well as creating greater efficiencies and synergy among<br />
the organizations themselves.<br />
The key features of this project are:<br />
1. A New Web search technology will create a database initially containing 2 million aid-agency and<br />
philanthropic-organization profiles;<br />
2. Web software will attempt to link these profiles with all publically held information on each<br />
organization;<br />
3. Each organization will be able to take charge of its own profile, customizing and updating it as it<br />
sees fit;<br />
4. Organizations will be able to develop LINKS with one another based on common initiatives listed on<br />
their profiles, for instance a common LINK could apply to areas of philanthropic interest<br />
(agriculture) or the region where an initiative is underway (Malawi);<br />
5. These LINKS are intended grow as organizations connect to one another, developing new working<br />
partnerships and networks.<br />

OECD report on the International Measurement of the Economic and<br />
Social Importance of Culture<br />
In 2007 the Louise Blouin Foundation commissioned a report by the OECD to determine the correlations<br />
between the proportion of GDP spent on culture and economic prosperity and quality of life within the<br />
OECD countries Australia, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. The motivation was to<br />
understand and measure the economic impact and social importance of culture within regional and national<br />
economies.<br />
The most significant finding is that culture can contribute between 3 and 5 percent to GDP/GVA.<br />

Discussions on Education, Creativity and the Mind
<strong>MEDIA</strong> PARTNERSHIP<br />
LOUISE BLOUIN FOUNDATION INITIATIVES<br />
Culture, Creativity and Neuroscience<br />
Much of the Foundation’s work is based in the belief that understanding neuroscience is the key to illuminating<br />
the crucial processes of creativity, innovation and human achievement. Neuroscience can also provide insights<br />
into solving conflicts in society, supporting a move away from increasingly lethal defensive measures and toward<br />
an understanding of the motivation and social conditioning that yield terrorist or extremist mind sets.<br />
For that reason, the Foundation continues to support neuroscience research that sheds lights on broad issues<br />
of concern, including how children can be socialized to reduce hostility and foster empathy and coexistence.<br />
These are the values that will drive collaboration in the 21st century.<br />
In 2008, the Louise Blouin Foundation sponsored research into the effect of music on the brain and its relationship<br />
to creativity. The research was undertaken by Dr. Antonio Damasio, the David Dornsife professor<br />
of neuroscience and director of the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California.<br />
This research set out to gain better insight into how music contributes to the creative process and how new<br />
knowledge about brain processes can be applied to education and creative thinking. The ultimate goal of the<br />
project is to develop new tools to enhance education and learning.<br />
China Cultures Fund<br />
The mission of the fund is to complement the already existing cultural preservation efforts in the Tibetan Autonomous<br />
Region (TAR) by the Chinese Government. This Fund, administered by the Louise Blouin Foundation,<br />
seeks to obtain resources from countries, foundations, artists, corporations and private donors to further<br />
support domestic cultural preservation efforts; to organize a series of international exhibitions on Tibetan<br />
and Chinese culture; and to create a series of online promotional tools for Tibetan and Chinese culture. The<br />
scope of this Fund includes the preservation and promotion of ancient and sacred Tibetan culture by addressing<br />
areas such as art, dance, drama, history, education and environment. It also works as a vehicle to promote<br />
Chinese culture and to encourage dialogue and cultural understanding between China and the west.

LOUISE BLOUIN FOUNDATION INITIATIVES<br />
Culture Beyond Borders<br />
With the recognition that culture plays a vital role in global politics, diplomacy, tourism and economics, the<br />
Louise Blouin Foundation has launched a series of initiatives under the title ‘Culture Beyond Borders’ which<br />
have included:<br />
• The Soldier’s Tale, an ambitious theater work representing a cultural collaboration between<br />
Iraqi and European performers. The production was coproduced by the Old Vic Theatre and the<br />
Motion Group. Rehearsals took place in Iraq, and the performance was premiered in London.<br />
• “Bring Back New Orleans”, for which the Louise Blouin Foundation produced research and<br />
organized an advocacy campaign to draw attention to the importance of culture to the social and<br />
economic well-being of New Orleans after Katrina. This effort helped New Orleans secure a<br />
federal earmark of $350 million to fund reconstruction efforts.<br />
• “Four Generations”, a cultural collaboration among leading Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers, writers<br />
and historians. Conceived to be a multipart TV series, the project chronicles the stories of two<br />
families, one Israeli, and one Palestinian. Through cultural dialogue, the film weaves together these<br />
two narratives. It is being produced in partnership with the Film School of Tel Aviv University and the<br />
Royal Jordanian Film Commission.<br />
