The Buzz | Beijing to build UNESCO center for creativity
Beijing will build a UNESCO international center for creativity and sustainable development, the first of its kind, a senior official said yesterday, cited by Xinhua. The center will include establishment of a “network for creativity, culture and sustainable development,” said Yan Aoshuang, head of the Beijing Science and Technology Commission.
Francesco Bandarin, assistant director-general for culture with UNESCO, said at a seminar on Sunday that the center will promote cultural and creative industries and the global flow of cultural products and services. In November, the 38th session of the UNESCO General Conference approved the founding of the center in Beijing.
