Take a look at the real world through the lens of our four core pillars defining the future of storytelling:
- Global Challenges and Cooperation (from Global Pitch to Global Impact)
- Immersive Realities and Engagement (from Story-Living to Augmented Learning)
- Emerging Talent and Access (from Central and Eastern Europe to New Creators)
- Ethical Best Practices and Diversity (from Honest Introspection to Permanent Progress)
