1988-1997 World Decade for Cultural Development

In 1988 the United Nations will launch the world decade for cultural development, running from 1988-1997. The four main goals of the decade are: to affirm cultural identity, ensure that the cultural dimension is taken into consideration in development, encourage participation of the public and artists in cultural life and to promote international cultural cooperation.
