+ Why: Organized by UNESCO's Culture Sector, the discussion is part of a series of initiatives conceived to further the culture and development agenda in the area of international development policy and programming, and the catalyze and help develop the international community's policy, advocacy, and action in this critical area.
This online discussion will focus on a specific area of concern within culture and development and the perception of risks involved in cultural investments. Themes and questions will be provided to participants who will be invited to discuss: (1) reasons for (mis)perceptions of the risks involved in investing in culture; (2) means to demystify and challenge such (mis)percetions; and (3) strategies to increase the culture and development agenda's visibility in development circles.
All participants are encouraged to contribute their expertise, experience, and research on these questions. A two-day symposium on this same theme will be held at UNESCO Headquarters on April 16 and 17, during which key messages from the discussion will be shared with symposium participants to inform their debates. The ideas captured from the discussion will be reflected in a final report that UNESCO will publish on its website.
