Regional Event of UNESCO Global MIL Week 2026
Why a conference about the future ends by looking at the past
For two days, this conference has argued about artificial intelligence, disinformation, and the fragile architecture of democratic life. On the third, it stops arguing and walks. Cairo does not need an introduction — its heritage sites have outlasted empires.
What the day holds
The morning belongs to Cairo itself: a guided visit to the city's heritage sites. The afternoon returns to the conference, closing what is already underway.
Where the threads come together
The closing session synthesizes both the Policy Forum's and the Congress's conclusions into a single account of what these three days actually produced.
The announcements
Next steps for MILID Screen and MILID Mediterranean Academy, and the outlook toward a future Cairo 2026 Declaration — the next link after Cairo 2024 and Barcelona 2025.
