The UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development was convened by UNESCO forty years after the first MONDIACULT Conference held in Mexico City (Mexico) in 1982, and 24 years after the MONDIACULT Conference held in Stockholm (Sweden) in 1998.
According to its organizers, MONDIACULT 2022 is about shaping the future of culture. More than a hundred Ministers of Culture, together with intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, and actors across the cultural sector will, together, bring culture to the front of the international stage.
