The upcoming eighteen months promise to be pivotal for international cultural policy, marked by significant conferences that will shape the global agenda for culture and the arts. The Summit of the Future in 2024, the 10th World Summit on Arts and Culture and MONDIACULT 2025 are set to address pressing issues, from multilateral cooperation to the impact of artificial intelligence on culture. Together, these events will contribute to fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development, and shape the future of arts, culture and heritage.
The UN Summit of the Future, scheduled for September 2024, will present a unique opportunity for global leaders to come together and address the challenges posed by recent global shocks, including recent and ongoing conflicts. The Summit seeks to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and reaffirm commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Charter. Building on the SDG Summit in 2023, Member States will lay the foundations for a reinvigorated multilateral system, crucial for tackling current and future threats.
In mid-2025, IFACCA will co-host its 10th World Summit on Arts and Culture in Seoul, Republic of Korea in partnership with its National Member for Korea, Arts Council Korea (ARKO). The Summit, set to take place from 28 to 30 May 2025 with the Opening Ceremony on 27 May 2025, will bring together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and innovators in arts and culture and related sectors. The Summit programme will offer three days of face-to-face
engagement on critical issues for the sustainable future for arts, culture and heritage, employing a range of interactive formats. For Arts Council Korea, the Summit marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of their institution and an opportunity to explore the direction of the next 50 years in arts and culture. During those days in Seoul, IFACCA will also celebrate its General Assembly.
Our Summit, which will gather the international community in May 2025, will set the stage for discussions that will culminate in the next edition of MONDIACULT, the international forum for ministers of culture, to be held in Barcelona in the second half of 2025.
This week UNESCO announced that the next edition of MONDIACULT – where 194 UNESCO Member States will work together to define the global agenda for culture - will take place in Spain in 2025. MONDIACULT 2025 will address the challenges posed by artificial intelligence for the cultural sector and will focus on developing common solutions to ensure the ethical use of AI, which respects the rights of artists in terms of intellectual property and compensation. During this ministerial forum, UNESCO will also present the first-ever global report on the state of culture.
We will provide regular updates here on the progress of the preparations for these key events. We look forward to seeing you all in Seoul for the 10th World Summit on Arts and Culture. Join us for a global dialogue aimed at ensuring a vibrant and sustainable future for arts and culture worldwide. See you there!

La Cumbre del Futuro en 2024, la 10ª Cumbre Mundial de las Artes y la Cultura y MONDIACULT 2025 abordarán cuestiones tan acuciantes como la cooperación multilateral o el impacto de la inteligencia artificial en la cultura. En su conjunto, estos eventos contribuirán a promover la colaboración, la innovación y el desarrollo sostenible, y modelarán el futuro de las artes, la cultura y el patrimonio.
La Cumbre del Futuro de la ONU, cuya celebración está prevista para septiembre de 2024, ofrecerá una oportunidad única de reunión a los líderes internacionales para enfrentar los problemas causados por las recientes crisis, como los conflictos armados, los nuevos y los de larga duración.

Durante este foro ministerial, la UNESCO también presentará el primer informe internacional jamás realizado sobre el estado de la cultura.
Continuaremos ofreciendo noticias frecuentes sobre las preparaciones de estos eventos clave y esperamos verlos/as a todos/as en Seúl para la 10ª Cumbre Mundial de las Artes y la Cultura.
