A Knowledge Society implies constant innovation and change. Challenges appear at all levels: policy making and steering the state, the economy, the educational system, the integration of the society. The present conference deals with the challenges and opportunities a Knowledge Society poses in the area of culture. The set of spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society and social groups. Art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs. (UNESCO, 2002) All that enable us to define ourselves and attribute significance to life and society.
