Mission
We exist to promote the recognition of culture as vital for human development that responds to our national identity and diversity.
CELEBRATING THE WORLD CULTURE DAY 21ST MAY 2012.
The year 2002 was the United Nations Year for Cultural Heritage. At the end of that year, on December 20, 2002, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.
This day gives us an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and help us to learn how to live together in harmony despite our cultural differences.
The 2012 theme is carried on from a 2011 campaign, "Do One Thing For Diversity and Inclusion ", and encourages people and organizations from around the world to take concrete action to support diversity by raising awareness worldwide about the importance of intercultural dialogue, diversity and inclusion.
Uganda will join the rest of the world to mark this event at an exhibition event organized by The Minister Of Gender, Labour and Social Development. The event will be held at the National Theatre Gardens on Monday 21st May 2012 and will running from 8:30am to 1:00pm.
