Confluence Ideathon 2021

The Confluence Ideathon 2021 is an arts hackathon that addresses problems related to the creation of a museum and cultural center which will bring together performing, visual, culinary, film, and literary practices in the arts. It aims to bring together the most innovative minds in the world and develop creative solutions for a world-class arts facility in the National Capital Region (NCR).

WHAT ARE THE AREAS WHERE WE NEED TO COLLABORATE AND INNOVATE ON?
