The secretary of the National Commission of UNESCO has a prominent role in this. The collaboration between the islands is essential since we have much in common culturally. Once the workshop report is ready, it will be presented to all the cultural guilds in Aruba to establish an execution plan for the UNESCO ICH agreement.

We work together on an informative, accessible and user-friendly Government Portal for Aruba.
