Recapping the 2022 Creative City Summit
After two Summit-less years, the Waterloo Summit brought back our annual event with a sense of celebration, fun, and collaboration. We loved seeing almost 200 of you in the room and many virtual attendants each day. The speakers, activities, and opportunities to network were fabulous and our thanks to everyone who participated. Extra special thank you to our hosts at the City of Waterloo! |

The UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development – MONDIACULT 2022 was convened by UNESCO forty years after the first Mondiacult World Conference on Cultural Policies held in Mexico City (Mexico) in 1982, and 24 years after the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies for Development held in Stockholm (Sweden) in 1998. The UNESCO-MONDIACULT 2022 World Conference was hosted from 28 to 30 September 2022 by the Government of Mexico.
One hundred-fifty States unanimously adopted an ambitious Declaration for Culture at the end of the three-day conference. The text affirms culture as a “global public good”. It reflects countries’ agreement on a common roadmap to strengthen public policies in this field.

A Hands-On Introduction to Wikidata with CAPACOA – The Canadian Open Data Society will lead an introductory workshop to Wikidata.
Since the CODS community is composed primarily of public sector workers, I will be focusing the workshop on wikidata items for cultural venues. I believe this workshop could also be of interest to your respective constituencies as well and I would be thankful if you could spread the word.
December 1 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST
Presenters:
Frédéric Julien (Research and Development Director, CAPACOA)
Dessa Hayes (Digital Discoverability Consultant, CAPACOA)
