Request for proposals: Atlas of cultural policies for climate change and heritage: pathways and perspectives from Ibero-America and the Caribbean
We are looking to commission a supplier to provide analysis on the region's cultural policies, decision making processes and compared politics, to support the spread of good practices and facilitate policy development. The information in the final report aims to be used as a consultation tool for authorities, institutions, collectives, professionals, art managers, students, researchers, and anyone involved in the design and development of cultural policies.
The supplier is expected to establish an appropriate framework to define and analyse shared and compared cultural heritage, historical narratives and environmental diversity to provide an adequate frame to speak about the so-called Ibero-American and Caribbean countries listed below. This opportunity is open to organisations and teams globally including collaborations.
- Argentina
- Brazil
- Colombia
- Cuba
- Jamaica
- México
- Perú
- Portugal
- Spain
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Venezuela
