The INCD and the Smithsonian Institution are collaborating on a 2-day conference entitled: Globalisation and Diversity, UNESCO and Cultural Policy-Making: Imperatives for U.S. Arts and Culture Practitioners and Organisations. The conference will serve as a forum for discussion and active participation of U.S. artists, cultural workers, and arts and culture organisations in national and international dialogue. Participants should read the relevant documents, particularly the Draft UNESCO Convention on the protection of the diversity of cultural contents and artistic expressions to facilitate the discussion of the potential impact it might have on various arts sectors.
