The time has come to rethink our approaches to development if we want to ensure a sustainable future for the generations of tomorrow. Yet, culture, defined as “the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group” has always served as the inspiration and matrix for all transformations within human societies. Since it is dynamic by nature, culture provides various well-suited opportunities. In the context of the current global crisis, might not culture, given its rich diversity, be part of the solution for sustainable and more equitable development? Should we not move culture to the forefront of our thinking on models for development and for international cooperation?
