Themes

a) Sustainable Development:  

Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development includes economic, environmental and social sustainability, which are independent and mutually reinforcing pillars, and can be achieved by rationally managing physical, natural and human capital.

b) Sustainable Cities
Sustainable cities enable all of their residents to meet their own needs and prosper without degrading the natural world or the lives of other people, now or in the future. 

c) Communication for Development:
C4D involves understanding people, their beliefs and values, the social and cultural norms that shape their lives. It involves engaging communities and listening to adults and children as they identify problems, propose solutions and act upon them.

d) Education for Sustainable Development: 

Education for sustainable development (ESD) aims to help people to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge to make informed  decisions for the benefit of themselves and others, now and in the future, and to act upon these decisions. ESD supports five fundamental types of learning to provide quality education and foster sustainable human development: learning to know, learning to be, learning to live together, learning to do and learning to transform oneself and society.

e) Culture for Development and Sustainable Events:

The role of culture in development is today recognized not only by the culture community but also increasingly acknowledged by the development community. The Culture for Development aims a common ground for culture and development actors to better integrate culture in development policies and strategies.
