In the context of the 7th edition of the UCLG – Mexico City – Culture 21 International Award, coorganised by the UCLG Culture Committee and Mexico City, the Award Ceremony was held on 8 October 2026 in Mexico City. The event was held alongside a Peer Learning exercise on cultural rights, care and gender equality, which took place on 7–8 October and the morning of 9 October.
This significant occasion brought together the Award winners – the cities of Ramallah and São Paulo in the ‘City’ category, and Nancy Duxbury and Amareswar Galla in the ‘Individual’ category – together with cities recognised as Special Mentions and/or good practices, members of the jury, experts and representatives of local governments from around the world.
Participating UCLG members and partners enjoyed three inspiring days of dialogue, learning and celebration.
