2025 ENCATC CONGRESS

The 2025 ENCATC Congress will focus on:

The 2025 ENCATC Congress is closely aligned with the Mondiacult Conference 2025, both taking place in Barcelona. This connection fosters a synergistic dialogue on the role of culture in advancing sustainable development and global quality of life. By linking the Congress to the prestigious Mondiacult platform, the event emphasises shared objectives such as promoting cultural rights, addressing contemporary challenges, and enhancing international cooperation in cultural policy and innovation.

This year’s ENCATC Congress, held in the vibrant city of Barcelona, invites participants to engage with the theme The Future Is Cultural: Policy, Practice, and Education. The Congress is organized in partnership with Universitat de Barcelona, Espronceda Institute of Arts and Culture, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, and Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
