Contribution to the meeting of the International Network on Cultural Policy (INCP) in Seville

Seville hosted the 10th annual ministerial meeting of the International Network on Cultural Policy (INCP) on 20-21 September. The event was attended by delegations from the ministries of culture or equivalent departments in 46 countries, aiming to foster the implementation of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions and dealing with other emerging issues in the international cultural scene.

In the context of the meeting, the Working Group on Cultural Diversity and Globalisation discussed approaches to intercultural dialogue. To this end, a comparative report prepared by Interarts on the basis of responses provided by approximately 20 countries was presented. INCP's annual meeting was held in Seville because Spain chairs the network in 2007. For further information, please visit www.mcu.es/cooperacion/CE/Interacional/ParticipacionOrganizmos/RIPC.html
