The Compendium Addresses Cultural Diversity
Since the beginning of the Compendium project, cultural diversity as a component of cultural policy making has been treated as a transversal issue. This means that there is no specific chapter in the Compendium country profiles on cultural diversity. Rather, there are several strands of related information and data found in various sub-sections of individual Compendium country profiles. Some of them are: cultural minority groups, language diversity, media pluralism and artistic creativity/content production.
Such information could assist national government and NGOs in their efforts to begin monitoring cultural policies and measures which support cultural diversity, as promoted in the 2005 UNESCO Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
