The Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports organised the first gathering on the implementation of Faro Convention that took place on 22 November in Siguenza, Spain.
Spain has ratified the Faro Convention in April and the gathering served as a first step towards the elaboration of an implementation plan of the Convention on local, regional and national levels. The Faro Convention Secretariat took part in the meeting, providing insights on the implementation process, together with the representatives from the Ministry and different local and regional authorities, which expressed their interest and support to the multi-level implementation process.
The gathering was a good occasion to present the advances made on the creation of the Faro Convention Network in Spain, consisting of civil society initiatives, stressing in this way the need to have all actors on board in the implementation of the Convention in Spain.
