Message and commitment<\/h2><\/div>

Slogan<\/h3>

Culture, a source of creation and learning in the Educating City<\/p><\/div>

\n \n<\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Educating Cities promote access to culture and recognise the different cultures and cultural manifestations present in the city, and guarantee equal opportunities for a quality artistic education, which enables personal and collective development. In our cities, culture and art are an important form of social inclusion and empowerment. <\/p>\n

With this celebration, we intend to mobilise all cultural agents in your cities in a dynamic and participatory event that promotes dialogue and raises awareness on all the artistic opportunities that the municipality offers, contributing to the creation of new synergies and learnings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Declaration of the International Day of the Educating City<\/h3>

On occasion of the International Day of the Educating City, we propose a public address with the following Declaration<\/p><\/div>

\n \n<\/svg><\/div><\/div>

On this special day, I\u2019m addressing you all as a member city of the International Association of Educating Cities, a network that includes about five hundred local governments committed to promoting education as a vehicle for social transformation.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to celebrate the 2023 International Day of the Educating City, under the slogan \u00abCulture, source of creation and learning in the Educating City\u00bb, an opportunity to highlight our daily work in favour of inclusive education and to reflect on the crucial role that culture plays in constructing our communities and in forming our identities.<\/p>\n

Principle 4 of the Charter of Educating Cities clearly lays out our commitment to the right to culture, the participation of everyone in the city\u2019s cultural life, and the promotion of arts education, creativity and innovation as a means of personal, social, cultural and economic development.<\/p>\n

Culture is a living, ever-evolving legacy that fosters a sense of belonging. Access to and active engagement in cultural life are vital for everyone\u2019s learning process, and our city provides a privileged setting for this. <\/p>\n

Inequalities are reflected in citizens\u2019 access to artistic and cultural education. That is why in [NAME OF CITY]<\/strong>, in our capacity as an Educating City, we\u2019re committed to promoting universal access to culture, to recognising and celebrating the various cultures and cultural manifestations in our territory, and to guaranteeing equal opportunities in arts and cultural education. <\/p>\n

Culture and art also play a crucial role in social inclusion and the empowerment of vulnerable groups. That\u2019s why we\u2019re committed to creativity and cultural innovation as a form of inclusion, personal growth and harmonious living, while we also nurture cultural projects led by our citizens. <\/p>\n

At the same time, we\u2019re aware that collaboration between educational and cultural stakeholder in our city is key to achieving these goals, so we\u2019re creating new spaces for cooperation. On an international level, we set out to bolster our cultural institutions through cooperation and we call for greater prominence of culture in the global urban agenda, with its own objective in the Sustainable Development Goals, in line with the declarations of the \u201cCulture 2030 Goal\u201d movement and UNESCO. <\/p>\n

The 2023 International Day of the Educating City is an opportunity to celebrate our achievements in promoting education and culture and also to remember the challenges that we still need to overcome.<\/p>\n

Today, [NAME OF CITY]<\/strong> is joining in with the celebration and reaffirming its commitment to building a more inclusive, creative, educating and culturally dynamic city.<\/p>\n

Happy 2023 International Day of the Educating City!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
