Women´s Empowerment through Creative Industries 2 2

Source: http://economia.icaew.com

“Creative industries are those industries that have their origin in individual creativity, skill, and talent, and have potential for job creation through the generation and exploitation of ideas or imagination. Using this broad definition, creative industries range from advertising and social media to the likes of agribusiness, design, and handicrafts. Creative industries provide a platform to support the sustained empowerment of women. In communities across the world, rich cultural value and traditional designs have been protected and nurtured by women through creative industries.”[1]

The rise of the creative industries presents significant opportunities for transforming women´s energy into new ideas, organisation and a future vision for societies. The sessions will address some of the critical policy approaches that are required to promote creative entrepreneurship among women and young women.

With this purpose, the Dialogue Café Association offer its network to address the challenges faced by women in terms of employment and opportunities for entrepreneurship within the creative sector and to reinforce networking opportunities.

Based on the main recommendations identified by international organisations such as UNCTAD[1], UNIDO and UNESCO, the Dialogue Café Network organises a session on women´s empowerment through creative industries focused on the following topics:

• Women´s participation in Creative Industries.
  
• Creative Young Women: sharing testimonials, needs and added value.

Global Conversation on World Heritage and Culture of Peace 0 Reply

World Heritage and Culture of Peace represent universal values on which UNESCO has a special focus.

Importance of the preservation of common heritage of human kind is expressed in armed conflicts and in areas threatened by extremists. For more information on world heritage in danger visit the link.

Spreading the Culture of Peace is an important factor in preservation of cultural sites which are a symbol of the identity of one nation and also a part of the common heritage of whole human kind. Special area of activity of UNESCO’s Culture of Peace programme is Heritage and contemporary creativity as tools for building peace through dialogue.

Importance of learning about World Heritage Sites for better understanding and affirmation of different aspects of peace is outlined in a chapter of the manual World Heritage in Young Hands.

Conversation on this topic is a good opportunity for exchange of experiences of the countries from which we have participants in the Dialogue Café network. You can see UNESCO World Heritage List in Portugal, Serbia, and Brazil.
