Lunchtime: campaigning for a future culture goal!
thursday, 18 january, 2024
13:00-14:00 (CET), online
Why do we need a goal dedicated to culture in the post 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda? How can we, as representatives of the cultural and creative sectors advance efforts to realise the potential of culture to drive sustainable development? The #Culture2030Goal campaign, consisting of major global cultural networks, including Culture Action Europe, has elaborated a Zerodraft of a future Culture Goal.
Based on expert inputs and a survey of actors across the field, the draft Goal should allow for a new focus in efforts to ensure that culture takes its place at the heart of development planning. It is designed to be the start of a process, stimulating debate both around the need for such a Goal, and what this could look like, including an outline of 5 key reasons why we need a dedicated cultural goal:
- To ensure adequate focus on culture at the highest level of government.
- To ensure that the range of connections between culture and other policy areas are fully accounted for.
- To ensure that the culture sector itself feels a sense of engagement in and ownership of the goals.
- To ensure that all other goals are activated, and that their achievement is strengthened, through the mobilising power of culture.
- To ensure that the achievement of all goals can be protected from systemic and behavioural barriers that can be addressed through a cultural lens.
