Call for the First International Congress on Cultural Heritage.
Aware of the need to strengthen the processes aimed at protecting and safeguarding the diversity of expressions that make up Cultural Heritage, in the face of the challenges imposed by the prevailing development models and the consequences of climate change, as well as the still unfulfilled potential for a better appreciation and enjoyment of these intangible assets and manifestations by communities and visitors, the meeting aims to build spaces for collective reflection to address the challenges posed by the management of Cultural Heritage, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean.
