Today I was delighted to find that two artists that I have truly admired and looked up to for a long time received the Crystal Award at the World Economic Forum at Davos. Emma Thomspon and Yo-Yo Ma were recipients of this award. The award according to the website "recognizes those who have made a real difference in the world of arts and also reached out to other cultures, supporting the Forum’s mission “to improve the state of the world”.
I also liked the Davos 2008's Theme "Collaborative Innovation" - struck me as something that is happening more intensely in the virtual world but less so in the physical world. It also is a good theme for inter-governmental dialogue and dialogue between developed and developing countries.
