Diversity of cultural and natural heritage

“Cultural diversity” refers to the manifold ways in which the cultures of groups and societies find expression.

These expressions are passed on within and among groups and societies.


Cultural diversity is made manifest not only through the varied ways in which the cultural heritage of humanity is expressed, augmented and transmitted through the variety of cultural expressions, but also through diverse modes of artistic creation, production, dissemination, distribution and enjoyment, whatever the means and
technologies used.
