Invite: Policy in Practice - Sustainable Futures for All: UNESCO Framework on Culture and Arts Education
- 14. September 2024
- 09:00-10:00 Uhr
- MuseumsQuartier Wien (Barocke Suiten - A)
With the "UNESCO Framework for Culture and Arts Education", UNESCO Member States have created a pioneering framework for cultural education. The workshop organised by the Austrian Commission for UNESCO as part of the International Conference on the Inclusive Museum shows how access, inclusion and active participation can become a reality in and through cultural education.
With Karalyn Monteil (UNESCO), Equalizent and the Austrian Disability Council
UNESCO’s Framework for Culture and Arts Education was adopted unanimously by UNESCO Member States at the World Conference on Culture and Arts Education in Abu Dhabi in February 2024. This global commitment to culture and arts education puts access, inclusion, and equity, including in the digital environment, center stage. The Framework is a critical tool for policymakers to create sustainable futures by anchoring a cultural dimension in all education contexts and settings. Museums - as intrinsically linked to place and societies – can strengthen education relevance and expand the possibilities for inclusivity by grounding a stronger connection between learners and their communities. The workshop will shed light on how UNESCO’s Framework can be implemented in practice.
