Annual Conference
The UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) Annual Conference offers a unique occasion to strengthen ties between Creative Cities from all world regions.
Last update:2 April 2024
The main objectives of this event are to:
- Exchange on updated, practical information on policies and activities carried out by cities to further implement the objectives of the Network both at the local and international level and stimulate inter-city collaborations.
- Offer a key platform of discussion between UNESCO and Creative Cities on the Organization’s priorities of action in the field of culture and development as well as other issues of mutual interests; and
- Showcase and broaden the impact and outreach of the Network and its member cities by nurturing dialogue with other relevant stakeholders, notably those from the local levels.
The Annual Conference is held once a year (except in case of force majeure) and hosted by a designated Creative City. All UCCN member cities are invited to actively take part in this event, which represents the most important gathering of the Network.
The next UCCN Annual Conference will be held in Braga from 1 to 5 July 2024, under the theme “Bringing youth to the table for the next decade”.
