Transcultura
A powerful driver for sustainable development
The programme Transcultura: Integrating Cuba, the Caribbean and the European Union through Culture and Creativity, implemented by UNESCO and funded by the European Union, harnesses the Caribbean’s rich cultural diversity and turns it into a driver for sustainable development, through exchange and cooperation in the region and with the European Union.
With an innovative and cross-cutting approach, Transcultura considers culture and creativity to be transformative and resilient forces in all their expressions: tangible and intangible cultural heritage, cultural and creative industries, and cultural tourism. The programme aims to professionalize the cultural and creative sector in the Caribbean, and to create opportunities for entrepreneurship and
access to markets.

"It is this economic and professional potential that we value, for example, with the Transcultura Initiative, also funded by the European Union, which aims to build bridges between Cuban, Caribbean, and European cultures and which I had the honor to launch in Cuba during my visit."
