As a federation of government institutions, how governments can adapt – and indeed are adapting – to the changing environments and contexts in which they work is an ongoing priority being tackled by our members (which our World Summit and Americas Cultural Summit both clearly demonstrated).

The future of policy and public support for arts and culture is at the fore of our thinking this month. At the end of June, delegates gathered in Buenos Aires for the Americas Cultural Summit 2019, hosted by the Secretary of Culture of the Nation of Argentina in partnership with IFACCA.

Nos alegra enormemente dar la bienvenida al Departamento de Cultura y Turismo de Abu Dhabi como miembro afiliado de la Federación.

We are very pleased to welcome the Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi as an Affiliate Member of the Federation.

This month our attention is focussed on UNESCO’s 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

On Monday 1 July 2019, representatives from the Federation will participate in the panel session Culture in diplomacy and international exchange, during the Market of Argentine Creative Industries (MICA) conference.
