Background
The UNESCO Cultural Policies and Development Entity provides technical support to Member States in the design, adaptation and implementation of their cultural policies. This work builds on the Organization’s normative instruments and programmes in the field of culture and beyond, as well as advocates for the transformative role of culture in the broader realm of public policy. It thus contributes to strengthening, assessing and measuring the cross-cutting and multidimensional contribution of culture to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In alignment with UNESCO’s approved C/4 and C/5, this includes an intersectoral engagement across UNESCO’s work in culture and education towards more integrated policy response to addressing current opportunities and challenges.
Following the adoption of the UNESCO Framework for Culture and Arts Education by Member States at the World Conference on Culture and Arts Education in Abu Dhabi in February 2024, UNESCO will develop an implementation strategy, encompassing the development of operational guidelines for the Framework to serve as policy guidance. This work will encompass actions at global, regional, sub-regional and national levels in consultation with Member States and in line with the strategic objectives of the Framework.
