The British Council invites suppliers located in the UK, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru or Argentina to submit proposals to produce, coordinate and facilitate two high-level international dialogues in August 2022, as part of the official MONDIACULT 2022 public programme.
The project:
As part of the MONDIACULT 2022, The UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development, The British Council is organising a series of digital policy dialogues addressing international multilateral cooperation and regional cultural policy in Latin America and the Caribbean. These side events will take place prior to MONDIACULT’s major event and represent British Council’s contribution to the MONDIACULT global policy dialogue.
Overall objective:
To create a digital high-level presence of the British Council to engage with key stakeholders and international leaders to discuss challenges, trends, and the future of cultural cooperation and cultural development, actively contributing to the broader reflection on cultural policies to tackle global challenges and outline immediate and future priorities.
About MONDIACULT:
The UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development – MONDIACULT 2022 will be the next major milestone in UNESCO's work as a global platform for intergovernmental dialogue and policy development. It comes 40 years after the 1982 MONDIACULT conference that set out new directions, standards, and frameworks for cultural policies at the global level for the following decades. The world has changed radically since then and it is time to reposition culture across the broad public policy spectrum in the face of sustainable development challenges.
MONDIACULT 2022 will be convened from 28 to 30 September 2022, hosted by the Government of Mexico and aims to be a historical opportunity where global decision-makers, cultural policymakers and key figures from the sector will share their perspectives and ambitions, placing culture at the centre stage of sustainable development prospects. Previous UNESCO ministerial conferences on culture have shaped new concepts, leading to the development of regulatory frameworks as well as new strategic approaches building on cultural capital, from heritage to creativity, and forging inclusive societies.
The Role
The primary focus of the supplier will be to produce, manage, coordinate, facilitate, deliver, and report on the two digital events mentioned above.
The British Council is offering the supplier up to £30,000 (VAT included). The contract will be between July 2022 and November 2022.
