Download the presentation of Ms Nathalie Legrand The adoption by the European Commission on 10 May 2007 of a Communication for a European agenda for culture in a globalizing world represents the recognition of the vital role of culture in the European development policies and actions. So far, culture, while being taken into account in many EU's cooperation programmes and instruments, and in the Union's bilateral agreements with third countries, was not been given a strategic role. At a time the international community is celebrating cultural diversity through a specific UNESCO convention, this conference will explore the new challenges of integrating culture as a transversal dimension in development policy and actions as well as supporting cultural expressions in developing countries. The conference will be given in English and French.
