ARC-WH was represented at the conference by the deputy director, Sheikh Ibrahim bin Hamoud Al Khalifa, who conveyed ARC-WH’S message and support for global efforts to develop a new road map for cultural policies during this important international event.
During the international event, a total of one-hundred-fifty States adopted a Declaration for Culture at the end of a three-day conference organised by UNESCO. MONDIACULT 2022 is considered the largest world conference dedicated to culture in the last 40 years.
The declaration supports culture as a “global public good” and reflects the agreement made between countries on a commonly shared roadmap to strengthen and reaffirm public policies in the field.
