ENCATC Congress 2025

15-17 September 2025, Barcelona, Spain

Focus Group Mondiacult 2025

The ENCATC Congress 2025, taking place in Barcelona just ahead of the MONDIACULT World Conference, provides a vital platform for advancing global dialogue on culture’s role in sustainable and regenerative futures.

As part of this unique international gathering, ENCATC has set up and launched Focus Groups aligned with the 2025 Mondicacult priorities on March 6. The ENCATC Focus Groups offer a dynamic opportunity to co-produce knowledge and collaboratively contribute to cultural policy development.

Each Focus Group (FG), chaired by an ENCATC Board Member, will produce concrete recommendations to feed into the Mondiacult Digital Library and the 2025 MONDIACULT Conference, making your input part of a global policy-shaping process. These groups are more than meetings: they are spaces for learning, critical dialogue, and advancing personal and institutional knowledge on key cultural priorities. The Focus Group will work both online and in person in Barcelona.

We invite our Members to register for one or more activities and actively participate in the Focus Group that aligns with your expertise and interests.
