Almost a decade after the creation of Agenda 21 for culture, and in the light of the new scenarios, the city of Buenos Aires, co-president of the Committee on culture of UCLG, organises an international seminar to discuss and to update the conceptual bases of our work. The seminar will take place on 2-6 September 2013.

The seminar considers the current contents of Agenda 21 for culture, and will analyse the challenges laid
out by the global community: the UN Post-2015 Development Agenda, the Global Taskforce of Local and
Regional Governments, the Sustainable Development Goals, the Declaration of Hangzhou (UNESCO) on
culture and sustainable development, Habitat III in 2016... The seminar will develop the following subjects:

1. The pillars of sustainable development and Agenda 21 for culture
2. The basis of local, regional and international cultural development
3. Local governance as key for sustainable development.
4. Territory, identity and social inclusion
5. Creation, creativity and local cultural production

A draft list of topics and speakers is available at the Agenda21 website.
