Headline 1988-1997 World Decade for Cultural Development

Caption Description In 1988 the United Nations will launch the World Decade for Cultural Development, running from 1988-1997. The four main goals of the decade are: to affirm cultural identity, ensure that the
cultural dimension is taken into consideration in development, encourage participation of the public and artists in cultural life, and to promote international cultural co-operation. Taking the lead in this effort is UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which will serve as the coordinating point with other UN agencies working in support of the Decade.
