Tunis will host the first national workshop on implementing the "UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators" from Monday, September 15 to 17, 2025, at the Young Creators' Theater, City of Culture.
Introduction to MONDIACULT 2025
MONDIACULT will bring together cultural actors, partners, and leaders from around the world in Barcelona, Spain, from September 29 to October 1, 2025, to define and commit to a global agenda for culture. In 2025, MONDIACULT is hosted by the Spanish Government in Barcelona, bringing together culture ministers from all UNESCO member states, along with representatives from intergovernmental organizations, academia, civil society, youth, and culture professionals, as well as private sector partners.
The "UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators" Workshop
The "UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators" workshop is an event organized by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, the Municipality of Tunis, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), with the support of the European Union (EU). The implementation is made possible under the program titled "Promoting evidence-based policies and actions and supporting policy development to strengthen the contribution of creative sectors and industries to sustainable development," funded by the EU.
Objective of the Workshop
The project will implement the UNESCO Culture 2030 indicators methodology to measure and track progress in the contribution of culture to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in a cross-cutting manner across the different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets. It will serve directly the implementation and monitoring of the 2030 Agenda at national and local levels. This will be important to support advocacy efforts to make the role of culture in sustainable development more visible.
The UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators
As a set of thematic indicators, the UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators are voluntary and complement the UN's globally agreed-upon SDG indicators. The workshop will provide an introduction and orientation to the implementation of the UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators methodology at the national and urban levels for Tunisia and the city of Tunis. Participants in the workshop include representatives from key institutions related to various ministries, as well as groups and individuals from academia and civil society.
Expected Outcomes
The workshop aims to provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss and explore ways to implement the UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators in Tunisia, with a focus on the city of Tunis. The expected outcomes of the workshop include:
- A better understanding of the UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators and their relevance to Tunisia's cultural development
- A clear roadmap for implementing the indicators at the national and urban levels
- Strengthened partnerships and collaboration among stakeholders to support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Tunisia.
