ABOUT

THE 2020 ROME CHARTER is led by Roma Capitale, Azienda Speciale Palaexpo and the UCLG Committee on Culture. It aims at promoting the right to participate in cultural life as a condition for a better society. The initiative began in 2019 and it has involved more than 45 cities and 95 advisors.

We think it is now important and urgent to create together a new future in the places that represent today a challenge as well as an opportunity: our cities and communities.

The outcome of this initiative is the 2020 Charter of Rome: read it here

In this timeline you can read the steps that led to its creation.
