Culture and the SDGs: Training and Residency Programme 2022.

Culture and the SDGs is an experimental project that sits somewhere between an action research, capacity-building training, and a creative residency. At one end, it seeks to raise awareness about the UN SDG framework within the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and highlight the inherent interlinkages between culture and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs,) while at the other end simultaneously encouraging professionals from other sectors (such as education, environment, and policy) to engage more actively with the culture sector. The programme will bring together eight cultural and creative industries professionals and eight professionals from other sectors (such as education, environment and policy) to explore how creativity and culture can help shape the future of the planet.

Why is this relevant?

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015) has at its heart 17 SDGs, which navigate across various thematic areas, and are geared towards achieving global prosperity. However, culture as a thematic area has been missing from the sustainable development conversation and is not a part of any of the 17 established goals. Indeed, culture is referred to in only two of the 169 targets, namely target 4.7 and 11.4. This lack of an explicit and tangible link between the culture sector and the SDGs in public discourse has often translated into the two being viewed and addressed as mutually exclusive concepts, greatly diminishing the role that culture plays towards the holistic development of the society.

The project emerges from the belief that the knowledge of the SDGs within the CCIs is often scattered and limited to the practice of specific sectors, and requires wider awareness raising. Another gap in the conversation the project aims to address is the limited sensitization of the other sectors on the potential of arts and culture in contributing to their activities in achieving the SDGs. To address these challenges and make the presence of culture explicit in the sustainable development context as opposed to its current implicit role, concerted efforts and interdisciplinary collaborations are required both at the policy and the grass-root levels.
