According to the organizers, the processes of globalization are currently underway in the world. How can national cultures preserve their identity and uniqueness in such a historical setting? For the Belarusian people, as a bearer of traditional values, it is very important to preserve continuity and connection with the spiritual values and traditions of the past in culture, creatively developing them. Therefore, the exchange of experience with colleagues from other countries in this matter is very valuable.

Following the results of the congress, a resolution will be issued with a systematic statement of the goals, objectives, prospects and main directions of state policy in the development of the national cultural space of Belarus. This document will reflect the system of national spiritual values, historical memory and cultivation of patriotism in the fields of culture, art and science.
