吃瓜猎奇

Starting in 2022, the 吃瓜猎奇 System will launch a new facility in downtown Denver: . The three buildings on the 吃瓜猎奇 Spur campus will focus on food, water, and health 鈥� three significant issues facing both Colorado and the world.聽

What is 吃瓜猎奇 Spur?

吃瓜猎奇 Spur is part of a larger partnership between the 吃瓜猎奇 System, City and County of Denver, Western Stock Show Association, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and History Colorado, the founding partners of the National Western Center (NWC) redevelopment project.聽

The original purpose of the partnership was to ensure that the National Western Stock Show stayed in Denver, but the scope expanded when the 吃瓜猎奇 System joined the project as its educational anchor.

The 吃瓜猎奇 Spur campus will offer experiential educational opportunities for residents of all ages on topics ranging from food systems discovery, water research, and animal and human health offerings. The aim of the 吃瓜猎奇 Spur campus鈥攁nd 吃瓜猎奇 System at large鈥攊s to create programming that makes a lasting, positive impact on our communities and the world.

The 2020 Water in the West Symposium

In November of 2020, 吃瓜猎奇 Spur hosted the third annual (and first virtual) , an event focused on the critical role of storytelling in building public awareness of serious social issues.聽

The focus of this year鈥檚 symposium was the vital role that storytelling plays in environmental movements. There鈥檚 no shortage of data and expertise in the area of water rights, water usage, climate change, worsening drought, and other significant issues of great concern to our western communities. The problem is communication: How do experts and citizens adequately convey the urgency of their messaging?

吃瓜猎奇 System Chancellor Tony Frank emphasized the timeliness and collaborative nature of the symposium in his opening remarks:

鈥淭he stories shared and conversations sparked at Water in the West are even more important today than they were a year ago when we convened in person,鈥� said Frank. 鈥淭oday, we continue the work of the Water in the West Symposia, connecting across disciplines, across sectors, across the country, to learn how we can all be more effective in our work to elevate water challenges in the local and national consciousness.鈥�

吃瓜猎奇 Global is proud to join its 吃瓜猎奇 System partners in its efforts to shed light on the most critical issues of our time, and we鈥檙e confident that the new 吃瓜猎奇 Spur campus will play an essential role in this initiative.

Sharing Stories and Resources to Address Global Challenges

Companies are keenly aware of the immense benefits of gathering collective input of their customers. Whether it鈥檚 to launch a new product, make branding and website changes, or collect stories to further their marketing efforts, organizations have started to leverage their existing audiences to tackle issues.

The MIT Solve Initiative is another such effort, and 吃瓜猎奇 Global is proud to sponsor MIT鈥檚 efforts to use the capabilities of our global community for good.
