Platform for the Knowledge and Dissemination of Cultures
Trouble is this 'altaveu'. Don't know what they're refering to, but you probably don't want to go with 'loudspeaker', etc. I would try to make a leap there with something like 'platform' to keep it from sounding so weird. 'Dissemination' has become my reflex translation for 'difusió'. Diffusion is OK, sounds a bit more scientific. Don't really agree with 'spreading', since to me spreading culture would be bringing culture to places where none exists, and I'd wager altaveu wasn't out to do that. Sort.

Spread
Podries dir Spreading Cultural Knowledge
Crec que l'idea d'spreading abarca la idea d'altaveu i la de difusio. Un altre sinonim per spreading podria ser widening, que tambe aporta les mateixes connotacions del titol catala.

Forum on Broadening Cultural Awareness
I too am uncertain on the meaning for altaveu, but to put platform on this one would make it sound like a political party. I think "broadening...awareness" makes a good authentic mix of difusió and coneixement.
This may be rather late, but I hope it helps!
