Cultural rights and identity

"Culture is not an optional extra - culture is our distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional worldview, it is a fundamental construction of our identities as individuals and social groups."
Allisandra Cummings, President, International Council of Museums Cross Cultural Task Force Meeting 2007

The Cultural Rights stream will explore the important contribution that culture and cultural practice make to developing and shaping strong, healthy, cohesive societies.
