The brochure “The Faro Convention: the way forward with heritage” is now available in Spanish, thanks to the support and collaboration of the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports. Spain has ratified the Faro Convention in April 2022, which has further strengthened its collaboration with the Council of Europe on this Convention.

The Faro Convention opts for an enhanced definition of heritage, recognising that its management also requires bottom-up, people-driven action, empowering citizens and heritage communities to take an active part in (re)defining the values and meanings this heritage entails. In this context, the brochure aims at fostering joint action in the cultural heritage sector by civil society and authorities at various levels, presenting examples of the Faro Convention principles being applied to concrete cases, inspiring exchanges and opinion sharing, as well as bringing the Faro Convention to the general public.

Given the big interest by the member States and the Faro Network initiatives in translating the brochure, further editions in other national languages are shortly expected.
