From 22 to 23 October 2012 and from 24 to 25 October 2012, Bogota welcomed two successive workshops on the results and the continuity of the implementation of the 2003 Convention in Colombia, discussing its challenges and strengths.

Two UNESCO accredited facilitators, Fabián Bedon and Lucas dos Santos Roque, animated the session in front of an audience of communities representatives, during the first workshop, and an audience of officers of the Ministry of Culture of Colombia during the second workshop. The workshops allowed an advance in knowledge of participants on ICH and on the aspects that constitute the 2003 Convention, the various ways to implement their content and the importance of the establishment of a National Committee to implement these actions.
