As a bearer of a highly rich and diverse culture, the African Union (AU) has been keen on valorising cultural heritage through its 2021 thematic year “Art, Culture and Heritage: Levers for building the Africa we want”. The COMECE webinar will explore how the European Union could better respond to this call for cherishing common religious and cultural heritage in the EU-Africa partnership.

In view of the upcoming EU-AU Summit and promoting an authentic “culture of dialogue”, as highlighted in Pope Francis’ Encyclical Letter “Fratelli Tutti”, participants will also debate strategies for rediscovering the importance of cultural cooperation, especially drawing upon the peace-building potential of cultural heritage.
