Mondiacult Conference 2025
MONDIACULT is the world’s biggest cultural policy conference. The 2025 edition brings together thousands of participants to set the global agenda for culture in the years ahead. With its title “Paving the way towards the recognition of culture as a standalone goal in the post-2030 Agenda” its inclusive discussions will revolve around 6 themes and 2 focus areas, representing key challenges and opportunities for the future of culture. MONDIACULT is also a major advocacy platform. With the conclusion of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda in sight, the 2025 UNESCO Conference is a decisive moment to build a consensus and momentum to establish culture as a ‘stand-alone’ goal within the next United Nations development strategy. Cultural rights must be guaranteed for all – and upheld by all. This is why UNESCO will ensure the presence of a wide array of participants, from policymakers, the civil society, artists to young people at MONDIACULT 2025.
