“Culture and Arts Education for a Sustainable Future”, panels in Abu Dhabi, March 2024

Culture for Causes Network (C4C), the Institute for Sustainable Development/European Public Law Organization (EPLO), and the International Theatre Institute (ITI), announced their collaboration in organizing two pivotal panel discussions during the UNESCO World Conference on Culture and Arts Education at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. Centred around the critical theme, “Culture and Arts Education for a Sustainable Future”, these panels aim to foster a dynamic and interdisciplinary dialogue, leveraging the diverse expertise of our esteemed speakers. Our goal is to facilitate not only innovative discussions but also the exchange of tangible experiences, with the aspiration of initiating ongoing, actionable measures post-conference to sustain the momentum of the topics addressed.

The first panel delved into the professional dimensions of the theme, scrutinizing how cultural institutions can integrate sustainability policies across various domains, including legal, networking, operational, and technological aspects. Conversely, the second panel poised to engage with the public sphere, examining effective strategies to engage both emotional responses and widespread public involvement in intensifying awareness and action towards environmental sustainability. This holistic approach aims to bridge the gap between professional practices and public consciousness, thereby amplifying the impact of arts and culture in championing a sustainable future.
