Culture Week is organised by the NACZ to commemorate the United Nations World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development on May 21 each year. Zimbabwe joins the rest of the international community in marking this important day and celebrating the diversity of world cultures. All countries and communities hold celebratory events.
The NACZ have said that, As Zimbabweans these celebrations enable us to reflect on our culture and remind ourselves of the need to preserve our rich cultural heritage. The week is also an opportune time to promote the uniqueness of our different cultures. Arts and Culture practitioners and consumers should come together to celebrate and harness our cultural diversities for economic development.
This years Culture Week celebrations will be launched in the Midlands Province and run from 14 21 May 2011. They will sweep across the width and breath of the nation under the theme: Culture Week Towards Professionalizing the Arts.
