Culture in Motion: Practice in International Development
**DATE CHANGED** December 1-2, 2006 The New School, New York
Almost ten years after the UN World Decade for Cultural Development (1988-1997), we still face common questions. Why and how does culture matter in development? Is culture marginal or essential for economic and/or community development? Can increased attention to culture have a positive impact on global poverty-reduction efforts? This conference will also investigate why – even after the UNDP’s Human Development Report (2004) stated that “allowing people full cultural expression is an important development end in itself” – the cultural aspect of development practice is still being largely neglected. Culture in Motion will attempt to address a number of needs and questions as well as provoking thought and offering opportunities for engagement on cultural practices in the development field. The conference will include several methodological components including exciting presentations from practitioners as well as leading thinkers in the field of cultural development.
