“Culture as an engine of development” is the theme of the International Culture Forum, held by the Ministry of Culture of Peru, on October 26 and 27.

During the second day of the event, our associate researcher, Néstor Valdivia, discussed the advances and challenges in intercultural citizenship and public policies, together with Mirna Cunningham, President of the Fund for the Development of the Indigenous Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean (FILAC), and Alfredo Luna, Vice Minister of Interculturality of the Ministry of Culture.

The purpose of the forum was to promote the discussion of issues related to the conceptualization, execution and development of cultural policies, paying special attention to their resonance in our country. The meeting was committed to an interdisciplinary and multisectoral perspective: national and international experts from various disciplines were called, who discussed relevant topics linked to cultural policies in the world today and their impact on the different areas of society and economy of the participating countries.
