(Part 2) High-Level Interactive Dialogue on Culture and Sustainable Development: Connecting Cultures in the Digital Era - General Assembly, 79th session.


  • Panel Discussion

The panel aims to explore the intersection of culture and technology, by examining how digital technologies are fueling the cultural and creative industries, leading to economic diversification and growth for the achievement of sustainable development.

Guiding questions:

  • How does digital transformation help preserve and promote cultural traditions, and what are challenges they face in doing so?
  • In what ways can digital tools bridge cultural gaps and promote more global understanding, especially in multicultural societies?
  • How does the digital transformation of the cultural and creative industries impact on the way people engage with art, music, and other cultural expressions? And can digital tools support the revitalization of endangered languages and cultural practices?
  • In the age of globalization, is it possible for digital spaces to create a truly global, inclusive culture that can advance international cooperation and cultural and creative economies? And how can Member States tackle the risks such as digital divide and exclusion, misinformation and data privacy and security risks?
  • What kind of national, regional and international development policies and international cooperation instruments are needed to ensure that culture contributes to the achievement of sustainable development?


This interactive dialogue will provide an opportunity for Member States, Observers and relevant stakeholders to give due consideration to the contribution of culture to the achievement of sustainable development through national, regional and international development policies and international cooperation instruments.


More specifically, this interactive dialogue will allow participants to exchange perspectives on promoting the intersection of culture and digital transformation, in the interest of sustainable development. By identifying key challenges and unresolved issues, the discussion will help refine policy considerations and areas for international cooperation.
