In the context of Chile’s commitment to the 2005 UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, this seminar will focus on civil society organisations that promote cultural diversity, with special emphasis on the work of the National Network of Creative Territories and the Regional Councils of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage.
“This meeting is taking place as part of the presentation of the IV Quadrennial Periodic Report 2020–2024, which compiles 54 measures and policies designed and implemented over the past four years by our country, showcasing the commitment of the State of Chile and cultural and artistic organisations to fulfilling the objectives of the 2005 Convention. This represents a unique exercise to identify gaps and opportunities for policies regarding cultural diversity. Additionally, for the first time, the preparation of this report included a participatory process open to civil society organisations from the cultural field across Chile,” stressed Esther Kuisch Laroche, Director of the UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office in Santiago.
The seminar, held close to the National Day of Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, will feature prominent international experts on cultural diversity from UNESCO, such as Lázaro Rodríguez, a consultant on cultural policies and the creative economy for sustainable development, and Mauricio Delfín, a cultural manager and social researcher specialising in cultural governance and civil society cultural participation.
