The 6th UCLG Culture Summit was held in Barcelona from 26 to 28 September 2025, in the context of the 3rd Global Conference on Cultural Policies convened by UNESCO, Mondiacult 2025.
This Summit was particularly exceptional.
- A high-level session was devoted to convey the key messages from the constituency to UNESCO for Mondiacult 2025. It is a fact that cities and local governments are leading the global action on cultural rights and people-centred policies.
- UCLG is a global leader in advocating for a Culture Goal in development agendas. We are proud to see this issue gaining increasing recognition in international discussions, culminating in its prominence as the main theme of Mondiacult 2025. Thus, the Summit explored how and when UCLG can continue to drive this agenda forward globally.
Also, the UCLG Culture Summit served to present Culture 21 Plus , the new framework document developed by the UCLG Committee on Culture, which reinforces the role of culture in sustainable development and a society based on care and wellbeing.
