Lecture by Prof. Alfons Martinell Sempere, co-director of the UNESCO Pau Casals Chair in Barcelona.

Subsequent debate with the audience moderated by Raúl Abeledo Sanchis, head of initiatives at the Cultural Observatory of the University of Valencia.

In a context where cultural rights maintain relevance due to different circumstances and realities, a reflection on their incorporation into the foundation of cultural policies at different scales is proposed. Delving into their contents, after decades of certain passivity within the human rights system, is a necessity that demands much more than eloquent grand declarations. Cultural agents and services call for more concreteness from the valorization of what they are doing, towards new approaches to incorporate into daily practice in cultural management. In this approach, the UNESCO Pau Casals Chair has proposed a reflection on the educational potential of cultural services and facilities for this purpose as a strategy for approaching new practices.
