International Day of Culture || Let’s spread the cultural diversity around us to the globe.

This world is diverse. The diversity of the world is seen reflected in different posts of local guides around the world. The cultural diversity is one of them. Even a small community of each nation has cultural diversity. This era of globalization has helped the culture to intermix and transfer from one place to another. The United Nations has also adopted Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and has declared May 21 as the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.https://youtu.be/YKOr7qwgwek

Here is what UN says about the day:

The day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005:

  1. Support sustainable systems of governance for culture
  2. Achieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals
  3. Integrate culture in sustainable development frameworks
  4. Promote human rights and fundamental freedoms

It’s we to deepen our understanding about values of cultural diversity and explore them to the world. It can be the diversity in dress ups, celebrations or traditions etc. Let’s plan and participate to share the culture around us. We want to make it simple for maximum participation. So you can gather at meetup venue with cultural dress and conduct a photoshoot or video shoot and share with us. Also featuring any ongoing cultural event in your area could be the another option. Let’s give our culture a value and make it another dimension of tourism in our area.

We humbly invite you to join us and enhance your cultural identity around the globe.
