Belgrade Dance Festival finds place on UNESCO website

BELGRADE- Belgrade Dance Festival (BDF) is listed on the UNESCO website as an event promoting culture in Serbia and cultural diversity in the world, BDF Director Aja Jung said Tuesday.

Our festival, which will have its 12 edition take place from March 23 to April 9, under the slogan 'Catch the Light', has been listed on the official website of UNESCO, said Jung.

She said that various programs from around the globe that were examples of good practice in promoting the diversity of cultural expressions had been invited to present themselves to UNESCO and take part in marking 10 years since the adoption of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

Serbia acceded to the Convention in 2009, since which time the Ministry of Culture and Information has been conducting polls and organizing activities to promote the Convention and cultural diversity, said Jung.

This year, the Serbian Ministry of Culture is a Friend of the BDF for the first time.
