2020 Rome Charter | Extract: UCLG – Culture Committee
In October 2020, the Rome Charter Hybrid Conference hosted three days of debates, international interventions and dialogues dedicated to discussing the implications of the 2020 Charter of Rome in the development of sustainable cities and communities through participation in culture. This conference included eleven sessions online, all translated in English and in Italian, some of them held in Spanish and French. The content reflected over 50 stories, common questions and a collective reflection on how to build and develop better societies for the future.
During the hybrid conference, parallel sessions focusing on ways to find inequalities were presented. In Session #8, “Outside In,” stories of cultural participation and cultural rights from around the globe were shared. The session was chaired by Carla Rey (Secretary General, AICCRE) and Jordi Pascual (coordinator, UCLG Culture Committee) and participation from a number of speakers, including Robert Manchin (Culture Action Europe) and Catherine Cullen (UCLG – Culture Committee).
This session, “Outside In” was organized by UCLG – Culture Committee and can be found here.
