The main theme of this congress focuses on "Defending cultural diversity" featured in a series of debates on cultural plurality, cultural industries and technological changes. 
The Scientific Program is organized into two forums: Cultural Diversity in a Global World: acknowledgment of cultural plurality and its diverse expressions; Cultural industries and Technological Changes. The first forum will feature a round table, organized by the UNESCO Regional Office in Havana with the participation of experts from Netherlands, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico.

This congress aims at:

  • Generating debate and an exchange of ideas on the recognition of the cultural plurality and the diversity of its expressions, the culture of resistance, the cultural processes and development in a globalized world that urgently needs to preserve its cultures.

  • Encouraging the exchange of ideas and projects to foster human creativity to meet current challenges.
  • Investigating common trends and coordinating strategies and projects to foster cultural development through cooperation.

Both forums will feature lectures, special interventions and round tables.
