The #DesignCities subnetwork from Enghien-les-Bains after a great working session at the XVII UNESCO #CreativeCities Network Annual Conference.

Design connects us, and we’re just getting started!

Ready to dive into 2 days of inspiration at the XVII @unesco.org #CreativeCities Annual Conference in Enghien-les-Bains!

For the #DesignCities network, this is a key moment to explore how #design intersects with #AI, sustainability and global cultural policy on the road to MONDIACULT 2025.
