| Hintergrund | Nepal’s art and culture sectors, encompassing music, documentaries, and photography play a crucial role in fostering creativity, social dialogues, innovation and social inclusion. They have the transformative power to shape our understanding of one other and the intricate social, political, economic and ecological challenges we face today. Furthermore, the confluence of various ethnicities, languages, and traditions has endowed Nepal with a unique cultural tapestry, evident in its documentaries, photography and music. However, these sectors face common challenges such as inadequate trainings, skills gap, professionalism, financial constraints and policy support. |
