Project
My goal is to conduct a comparative study on cultural diversity policies within those twin cities in the name of Maestro Pau Casals. Prades-France, El Vendrell-Catalonia and Mayaguez-Puerto Rico. Those cities that are united by a twinning of cities process. The UNESCO Charter of 2005 is instrumental in diversity and inclusion policies. We face being able to get other cities Barcelona-Catalonia and San Juan, Puerto Rico to meet to be part of this network within these initiatives that achieve the conservation and dissemination of the intangible heritage of Pau Casals.
