World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development
21 May 2021
World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development
Celebrates the richness of the world’s cultures and the essential role of intercultural dialogue for achieving peace and sustainable development
Held every year on
21 May, the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development
celebrates not only the richness of the world’s cultures, but also the essential role of intercultural dialogue for achieving peace and sustainable development. The United Nations General Assembly first declared this World Day in 2002, following UNESCO’s adoption of the 2001
Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity
, recognizing the need to “enhance the potential of culture as a means of achieving prosperity, sustainable development and global peaceful coexistence.”
With the adoption in September 2015 of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
by the United Nations, and the
Resolution A/C.2/70/L.59
on Culture and Sustainable Development adopted by the UN General Assembly in December 2015 , the message of the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development is more important than ever. The
17 Sustainable Development Goals
can best be achieved by drawing upon the creative potential of the world’s diverse cultures, and engaging in continuous dialogue to ensure that all members of society benefit from sustainable development.
The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development is an occasion to
promote culture and highlight the significance of its diversity
as an agent of inclusion and positive change. It represents an opportunity to celebrate culture’s manifold forms, from the tangible and intangible, to creative industries, to the diversity of cultural expressions, and to reflect on how these
contribute to dialogue, mutual understanding
, and the social, environmental and economic vectors of sustainable development.
All are invited to join in, and promote the values of cultural diversity, dialogue and development across our globe.
