Four UNESCO National Commissions unite to translate Global Report “Re|Shaping Cultural Policies” into German

The Executive Summary of the 2015 edition of the Global Report “Re|Shaping Cultural Policies: A decade promoting the Diversity of Cultural Expression for Development”, is now available in German.

This translation is the fruit of a collaborative effort led by the National Commissions for UNESCO of Austria, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

This landmark Global Report is UNESCO’s first report tracking the implementation of the 2005 Convention on the Protection and the Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, now ratified by 143 Parties, including the European Union.

Launched on 16 December 2015 at UNESCO Headquarters, the main objective of the Report is to help governmental and civil society actors jointly engage in data collection and policy monitoring and to increase the quality of knowledge produced, both at national and global levels. This Global Report provides a framework for future policy development in the area of culture.

The Report was produced with the financial support of the Swedish Government, through the Swedish Development Agency for International Cooperation (Sida), within the framework of the project “Enhancing Fundamental Freedoms through the Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions”.

The full Report, available in English and French, will soon be available in Chinese and Spanish.
