Principales conclusiones de la evaluación de la medida:

One of the most important results was the high participation at workshops,  since the proposal reached several regions within the territory and, thus, hundreds of local community representatives, artists and public officers attended. It is worth mentioning that 70% of the attendees were women between 25 and 45 years old, representing 25 communities from indigenous populations.
This study, conducted together with State organizations, enabled a broader territory approach. Project dissemination and visibility were supported by graphic materials, trifold brochures and posters used to disseminate the principles of UNESCO's Convention and the actions implemented by the Directorate of Cultural Policy and International Cooperation of the Secretariat of Culture of Argentina., which after the workshops prepared an audiovisual presentation and edited a book on the project.
