The Unesco Courier (2022_3): Culture: global public good

As the world gradually recovers from a pandemic not seen for over a century, something has irrevocably changed. The crisis has revealed the strong interdependence between our societies and has exposed both the gaps and the strengths in each sector.

The cultural sector is still suffering from the effects of the health crisis, which disproportionately affected regions and creative areas. On the other hand, it has also vividly highlighted the impact of culture on every area of human development, from inclusion to education, from well-being to resilience, from dialogue to peacebuilding.

From Mexico to Nigeria, Lebanon to China, our latest issue explores the key role of culture as a vehicle for resilience, inclusion and sustainability.
