Other international meetings are taking place in Maputo (2-5 March, 2004 - co-organized with UNESCO, Observatory of Cultural Policies in Africa and NEPAD/African Union), Sao Paolo (first week of April - co-organised with Artes Sem Fronteires) and place in Amman (20-22 April - patron of the meeting is His Royal Highness Prince Hassan) Furthermore, the questionnaire on cultural rights will be sent to identified partners at the end of February.
