Cultural diversity: common heritage of mankind
UNESCO in its Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity states that culture is to be regarded as the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature, ways of life, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.
Affirms that respect for the diversity of cultures, tolerance, dialogue and cooperation, in a climate of mutual trust and understanding, are among the best guarantors of international peace and security, aspiring to greater solidarity based on the recognition of cultural diversity, awareness of the unity of humankind and the development of cultural exchanges.
Assuming these principles, the Fundación Tres Culturas proposes a month of May dedicated to Cultural Diversity, where Mediterranean music and films made in different countries of the world come together.
