Culture at the Heart of Sustainable Development in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities
UNESCO
Event details
Description
As part of the Africa - Europe Week, UNESCO organizes the side event 'Culture at the Heart of Sustainable Development in Africa - Challenges and Opportunities' on 17 January 2022 (15:30 - 16:30 CET).
UNESCO and the European Union (EU) have been longstanding supporters of policy development and reform in the field of culture in Africa. Particularly, the EU is a partner of the EU/UNESCO Expert Facility on the Governance of Culture, and of the piloting of the UNESCO Culture 2030 indicators, which aim to build evidence around the contribution of culture to sustainable development.
The purpose of this side-event is therefore to stimulate a policy dialogue on priorities shared by Europe and Africa for a renewed European Union - African Union partnership for a robust, resilient and interconnected cultural ecosystem.
