Governing Body
United Cultures World Council
The United Cultures World Council is designed to have representatives from all 269 target nations who will represent the United Cultures Governing Board. The World Council will include Ministers of Culture, ministries of cultures, or representatives of cultures representing each country or region.
Ministers of Culture, ministries of cultures or representatives of cultures per country and region will be integrated into the United Cultures Governing Board per country or region. Every 5 years, the Governing Board and World Council will approve projects for all countries or regions.
The World Council meets annually at the United Cultures World Conference — the first of which takes place in Madrid in March 2026 — bringing together cultural ministers and representatives from all 269 target member states.
Governing Levels
🌍 World Council
The supreme governing body of United Cultures. Representatives from all 269 target member states. Convenes annually at the World Cultures Conference. Sets the global agenda and approves the 5-year project plan for all member states.
🌐 Continental Boards — 7 Continents
Each continental board has 1 Chairman, 1 Treasury, and 1 Secretary. They deal with Ministers of Culture from their continent. All projects in a continent must be approved through the continental board before reaching the World Council.
🏛 Country & Regional Boards
Each country and regional board has 1 Chairman, 1 Treasury, and 1 Secretary. They work with local Ministers of Culture, cultural institutions, embassies, NGOs, universities, and sub-cultures. All local projects must receive approval at this level first.
👥 Board Members
Board members at every level are representatives of cultures, embassies, NGOs, organisations, cultural institutions, companies, universities, and sub-cultures — ensuring maximum diversity and representation across every decision-making body.
