"Always seemingly central to politicians' speeches, culture is, in reality, an area neglected by governments, becoming either a pure electoral propaganda tool or an 'ashtray' of those who decide for resources.
This conference will explain why an innovative way of looking at culture as an integral and essential part of the economic process could bring about an important change for the better in the contexts in which we live today."
