MONDIACULT 2025: Our commitment to the conference on global cultural policy
ENCATC was a key actor at the 2025 World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development, MONDIACULT. Our policy recommendations to the global cultural policy community resulted in a final policy statement where we claim that culture and education stand at the heart of sustainable development. Together, they shape how societies imagine the future, address diversity, and build the capabilities needed to navigate global change.
Our input towards the Culture Compass for Europe
The Culture Compass for Europe, a new strategic framework launched in 2025 by the European Commission, represents an important opportunity to embed culture at the heart of EU policymaking. ENCATC published a new position paper on the Compass articulating our network’s vision, concerns, and recommendations based on more than three decades of expertise, advocacy, and academic engagement in the cultural sector.
After the launch of the Culture Compass for Europe on 12th November, we reacted with a policy statement, pleased to see many of our recommendations reflected in the final version of the document.
