| Summary: | These workshops are designed to disseminate information on the Convention
on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions
(2005), promote its ratification, and enhance its potential as a tool
to strengthen Central American cultural policies. This action is particularly led in regard to one of the main concerns of the international community: the future of cultural diversity in our increasingly globalized world.UNESCO, HIVOS, AVINA Foundation, the Canadian embassies in Costa Rica and Guatemala and the French Centre for Scientific and Cultural Cooperation in Central America are sponsoring the mission of a Canadian expert, Véronique Guèvremont to:
A public seminar, as well as a meeting with the institutional authorities and civil servants will be organized in each country. The mission and the follow-up Internet strategy involving key public and private Central American actors are expected to lead to constructive exchanges of views on this issue. This initiative of the Canadian and French embassies is organized in conjunction with the Francophone Week celebrations that will take place in March.
