The way we understand cultural rights is linked to the view that culture is an everyday fact of life which presupposes equality among people, recognises various types of knowledge and values all kinds of cultural experiences.

However, do we ever reflect on the sense and the need to defend cultural rights as citizens? Or if, on the other hand, it doesn't make much sense to do so, as that is the work of the professional sector?

During this debate, we will have an opportunity to reflect on cultural rights from an analytical viewpoint, pondering questions on the existing critical mass in defence of those rights and the role played by the various parties involved.
