Om het culturele debat te stimuleren, organiseert en steunt het Prins Claus Fonds, over de hele wereld, evenementen die interculturele uitwisseling mogelijk maken. Deze uitwisseling vindt plaats in de vorm van (internationale) congressen, lezingen, vergaderingen en/of tentoonstellingen.
De resultaten van deze uitwisseling worden aan een breder en groter publiek gepresenteerd in de vorm van artikelen, boeken en websites.
Een creatieve omgeving wordt gecreëerd waarin nieuwe opvattingen kunnen worden gepresenteerd en nieuwe partijen kunnen deelnemen aan het debat. De evenementen zijn ook richtinggevend bij het bepalen van richting voor de te leveren bijdragen op het gebied van cultuur en ontwikkeling.
