21 May: World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development |
|
| |
|
Further to the adoption of UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity in
November 2001, the General Assembly of the United Nations welcomed the
Declaration and the main lines of the Action Plan and proclaimed 21 May
as World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development
(Resolution 57/249)
The Day will provide us with an opportunity to
deepen understanding of the values of Cultural Diversity and to learn
to “live together” better. This is why UNESCO appeals to the Member
States as well as to all civil society to celebrate this World Day by
involving as many actors and partners as possible.
