The initial draft of the 2025 UNESCO cultural statistics framework incorporates a value-based approach.

The value-based approach is a multidisciplinary research approach rooted in the belief that values drive the pursuit of societal goals, leading to actions to achieve those goals. CREARE and GLAMMONS are honoured that UNESCO experts acknowledge the contribution of the value-based approach methodology to the Theory of Value debate!

On another note, UNESCO has initiated consultations on the new UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics. The framework aims to assess the impact of culture on society and includes major innovations. UNESCO seeks to enhance the understanding of cultural statistics by using international experiences, classification systems, and feedback from cultural and creative stakeholders. Your contribution to this initiative is invaluable and we encourage you to share your insights until August 15.
