June 27, 2025

To mark the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, adopted in 2005 by the UNESCO General Conference, the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action will hold a Chamarrita workshop on 4 July at Largo da Ermida de Nossa Senhora da Pureza, Pico island, starting at 21h.

On this day, the two decades of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions will be celebrated to the sound of Viola da Terra and with the Chamarrita Group from Casa do Povo de Santo António, promoting respect for the diversity of cultural expressions and awareness of their value at local, national and international level, as well as recognising the specific nature of cultural activities, goods and services as carriers of identities, values and meanings.
