The strength culture has in fostering development.

What is it about?

This chapter presents the role of the culture in different concepts of developmental studies, “culture and development” and “cultural development”. The concept “culture and development” indicates the role of culture in the achievement of development, such as in poverty eradication, human rights, gender equality, health improvement, environment protection etc. Its task is the development. The concept “cultural development” is focused on the development of culture and cultural capacities. It is a process of changes in cultural life of a community in order to achieve its cultural values. The “cultural development” task is culture. This chapter presents the evolutionary paths of both concepts through international organisations’ documents in order to change the misperception of culture as a budgetary cost.
