The Conference will mark the 10th anniversary of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted in October 2005 by UNESCO's General Conference. It will allow for a review of the Convention's achievements and to identify challenges State Parties should consider in the coming years, especially given the current issues and the multiplicity of referentials that are questioning current cultural policies. The Conference will bring together national and international experts, and will foster exchanges between established and emerging researchers, policymakers and civil society stakeholders who, in the past 15 years, have collaborated in giving effect to the international legal instrument.
