LU konference
The main objective of ENO is the establishment and support of sustainable development in the fields of art and culture education. Additionally, ENO aims to initiate and facilitate cooperative activities as well as to facilitate the spread and exchange of research-based knowledge and innovative practices, thus promoting the sustainable development of arts and cultural education policy and practice.
UL Vice-rector of the Humanities and Educational Sciences, Prof. Ina Druviete signed the declaration of assembly of European Network of Observatories in the Field of Arts and Cultural Education on December 8, 2015, confirming that the University of Latvia supports and joins the UNESCO European Network of Observatories and is prepared to develop the programme of activities for the first period (2016-2018) in coordination with the UNESCO Latvian National Commission.
