To prepare for the Quadrennial Periodic Report (QPR) of Korea, government ministries including the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and local governments, the Korean National Commission for UNESCO, Arts Council Korea, and civil society organizations (CSOs) have participated. It includes substantial amount of interviews and written consultations.
The draft of the QPR of Korea on the 2005 Convention was prepared by the Korea Culture & Tourism Institute (KCTI), a national cultural policy research institute. It conducted an extensive research to identify best policies, measures, initiatives, and data related to cultural statistic. Relevant statistical data included in the QPR of Korea were prepared based on nationally approved statistics provided by the Statistics Korea (KOSTAT), and the collected measures and policy cases were evaluated by the ‘Cultural Diversity Committee’. From April to June 2022, ten workshops were held to promote participation of CSOs in the preparation of the QPR of Korea, where they shared the purpose of the 2005 Convention and discussed the CSOs’ measures and initiatives.
Based on this draft, the QPR of Korea was completed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
The Republic of Korea regards UNESCO's 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions as a major value in cultural policy, and specifies it in laws, institutions and cultural policy plans. Moreover, the Republic of Korea enacted the ‘Act on the Protection and Promotion of Cultural Diversity’ in 2014. Based on the Act, the ‘1st Basic Plan for the Protection and Promotion of Cultural Diversity (2021-2024)’ was established in 2021. In the same year, Arts Council Korea was designated as an exclusive agency to effectively deliver cultural diversity policies throughout the society. With such agency, the Republic of Korea executes discourses and policies that focus on the protection and promotion of cultural diversity on a broader scale.
The main goal for the implementation of Korea's cultural policy and the 2005 Convention is to create a cultural ecosystem of diversity and inclusion. Particularly with the change in population composition and the growing awareness of social conflicts and discrimination in recent years, the Republic of Korea actively promotes policies to raise awareness of civil society for cultural coexistence. In addition, the Republic of Korea declares special provisions of artists’ rights, such as stipulating penalties for infringement of freedom of expressions, under the ‘Act on the Protection of Status and Rights of Artists’ from the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Republic of Korea is also taking the working conditions of artists and cultural professionals more seriously.
The Republic of Korea has important priorities for the following policies, which clearly align with the goals of the 2005 Convention.
1. (Governance system/Human rights and basic freedoms) For various cultures to coexist, reinforce policies on managing cultural diversity data, educating cultural diversity values, and ensuring accessibility (such as barrier-free and media literacy) of immigrants and minorities for cultural participation. Particularly through the enactment of the ‘Act on the Support for Cultural and Artistic Activities of Artists With Disabilities' in 2020, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism actively supports artists with disabilities in numerous areas such as their creative activities, international exchanges, and standard performance theater.
2. (The mobility of artists and cultural professionals) In 2021, the 'Act on the Protection of Status and Rights of Artists' was enacted to legally protect the freedom of artistic expression, protect and promote professional rights, and create gender equality in art environment. Based on the 'Artist Welfare Act' in 2011, policies such as living stabilization fund loans and employment insurance for artists were promoted from 2019.
3. (Balance in production and distribution of cultural goods and services)
In response to changes in the production, consumption, and distribution of cultural goods and services in the digital environment, the ‘Non-contact Cultural Strategy for a Warm and Connected Society’ policy was promoted in 2020. This policy aims to reduce the gap in culture and art participation, and to alleviate social loneliness. Moreover, protection and supports for endangered or marginalized dialects, independent arts, and traditional culture were expanded.
4. (Sustainable development frameworks) the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism continues to support international mobility of artists and cultural professionals, and fosters development of projects for cultural and creative industries (CCI) in developing countries. It also voluntarily contributes to trust funds, and expands cultural exchanges with third-world countries.
