UCLG & Global Taskforce

Does your city understand culture as a mean to promote social inclusion, create jobs or to strength the identification of citizens with their city? Then you should participate in the second edition of the international award of culture and sustainable development.

The competition is an initiative of our global organisation, UCLG, and Mexico City. It aims to reward cities, towns and regions that actively contribute to link the values of culture (like heritage, diversity, creativity and transmission of knowledge) with democratic governance, citizen participation and sustainable development, based on the principles of the Agenda21 for Culture.

The winning program will receive 50 000 euros for the international promotion of the project and to strengthen the local implementation of Agenda 21 for culture. The winning city will be presented with a trophy produced by an artist from Mexico City, accompanied by a recognition signed by the Head of Government of Mexico City and by the President of UCLG.

How to participate?
Should your city, town or region want to participate, send the application form by 15 March 2016.
