The International Culture and Development Seminar 2010 will take place on 4-5 May in Girona, Spain.

The Seminar’s primary target will be to encourage the agents responsible for cooperation in partner and donor countries, and in International Organizations, to integrate culture in their development policies.

The Seminar will review experiences reflecting that investing in culture is a way to attain diverse objectives in the fight against poverty, and will analyse a series of programmes and projects that can serve as a collection of “best practices”.

The event is organised, under Spanish EU Presidency, in the city of Girona with the collaboration of the University of Girona, which holds the pioneering UNESCO Chair for Cultural Policies and Cooperation.

The European Institute for Comparative Cultural Research have recently updated the monitoring of  cultural policies and trends in Europe. THe table was made following a decision at the 5th Compendium Authors meeting held in Budapest Spring 2006 to begin monitoring the UNESCO Convention among Compendium countries, going beyond the information published on the relevant UNESCO website.

Information responding to the following questions is updated on a regular basis:

• Which countries have ratified the Convention?
• Who is responsible for its implementation?
• Are there civil society organisations involved in the process?
