The Cultural Dimension of Sustainable Development: Opportunities for National Cultural Institutes
Abstract

In April 2021, EUNIC organised a two-day online Knowledge Sharing Workshop together with British Council and ifa, aiming to discuss and further drive the role of culture in sustainable development and to share examples of activities and best practices in this field. The case studies were framed by research on the role of culture in contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals conducted by the British Council and ifa, and by previous EUNIC initiatives enriched by a discussion of the internal and external policy context developed by the European Union. The report summarises the main points of discussion during these two days and gives deeper insights into the context, policy background and evolution of culture in the framework of the 2030 Agenda. It concludes with recommendations on partnerships, dissemination & communication, advocacy, relevance & efficiency, and monitoring & evaluation.
