Diálogo de Tambores. Desde la Diversidad Cultural Dominicana
Diálogo de Tambores. Desde la Diversidad Cultural Dominicana (Dialogue of Drums. From the Dominican Cultural Diversity) is a national cultural initiative aimed at recognising and making visible the expressions of the rich Dominican cultural diversity, highlighting its roots, and promoting the full and equal participation of all people in the different scenarios of society.
This second edition, which will take place in Santo Domingo on 1 and 2 December, is organised in the framework of the 2015-2024 International Decade for People of African Descent and is part of the programme of UNESCO Regional Office for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean for the 20th anniversary of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Its programme will stage talks and the transmission of knowledge from history, music, dance, gastronomy and ancestral traditions, this year with a focus on YOUTH, considering the role of young people as drivers of change to achieve a fairer society with better opportunities.
The Panel “Expressions of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Dominican Republic” was jointly organised by the UNESCO Regional Office for Culture and the Dominican National Commission for UNESCO.
