The sixth Edinburgh International Culture Summit will take place at the Scottish Parliament between 26 – 28 August 2022 on the theme "Culture and a Sustainable Future".
The Summit will reflect on the urgent need for consideration of and investment in our future. The Summit will revolve around the two strands of "Culture & Education" and "Culture & Sustainability". Culture & Education asks what unique role the arts can play in education curricula, and how Cultural practices can teach creativity and collaboration – developing skills and learning habits that are essential to life in a cosmopolitan and digitised world. Culture & Sustainability highlights the sensory aspects of art: by looking and listening, tasting, and touching, art engages us deeply and directly with the world we live in. The poetry and song, stories and rituals, and intimate knowledge of unique locations are a profound and enduring set of human relationships that we risk losing alongside our shrinking ecosystems and biodiversity.
