Mission

Principles
Our principles are based in the UNESCO Declaration, that indicates: “It is established that the traditional and ancestral knowledge is a patrimony whose value cannot be circumscribe only to the native communities, they are an important resource for the whole humanity, while it enriches the mutual awareness of dialogue, and enables the conservation of a wide spectrum of cultural diversity that exists in a given territory. For that motive it has to be protected and promoted, recognized and consolidated in the benefit of all humanity, for present and future generations.”
