World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2006


UNESCO has designated May 21 as World Day for
Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.

Since the adoption of UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity in November 2001, May 21st has always been so designated. According to the UNESCO website, the day provides an opportunity to deepen understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to learn to "live together" better.

UNESCO appeals to its Member States as well as to all civil society to celebrate this World Day by involving as many actors and partners as possible.
