Report: XIV EU-LAC Reflection Forum: "Challenges and opportunities for the construction of a shared cultural cooperation agenda between Latin America, the Caribbean and the European Union"

The EU-LAC Foundation and Mexico's National Institute of Arts and Letters (INBAL) organised a reflection forum to analyse how to translate the commitments made at the 2023 EU-CELAC Summit into international cultural cooperation strategies. The event took place in Mexico City on 5 and 6 December 2023.

This Reflection Forum brought together representatives from Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Ministries of Culture and Ministries and/or Agencies of International Cooperation in charge of policies and programmes related to cultural cooperation between Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.

The main objective of the Forum was to analyse how the commitments made by the countries of Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe at the EU-CELAC Summit in 2023 can be translated into strategies for International Cultural Cooperation, with the aim of proposing a shared agenda for cooperation in which culture is considered a public good and a relevant dimension of the sustainable development of our societies.
