“The name of this meeting, Belongings, marks our interest, the place where discussions on public policies pass today, dialogues that we carry out together with civil associations and institutions, universities and communities for the preservation of our heritage,” Romero explained. “The Great North has two great riches: our linguistic diversities and bio-diversities, therefore, they are memories that must be reinterpreted and protected, both for the present and for the future. Life suits us at this civilizational crossroads of preserving our environment from the creation of a consciousness where culture and nature, far from facing each other, allow us to overcome old dilemmas, because speaking of heritage is not only speaking of memory, but also of present”, remarked the president of the provincial cultural portfolio.
“With this Posadas declaration we seek to define what we expect for the next 25 to 30 years, so that our communities and public policies come out enriched from different visions,” Romero concluded.
The Meeting will have the direct participation of members of the Directorate of Socio-Cultural Heritage of Formosa, the Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Directorate of Socio-Cultural Promotion of Chaco, the Directorate of Heritage of Corrientes, and the Undersecretary for Coordination of Development and Cultural Regions and Undersecretariat for Cultural Revaluation and Museums of Misiones. In addition, it will have the support of the National University of Formosa, the University of Chaco Austral, the National University of the Northeast, and the National University of Misiones.
“It is a great honor that this happens in our land, in Posadas. It is important that the provinces unite to produce this type of cultural encounters that claim our identity”, added Joselo Schua.

“I believe that this meeting is going to be an eloquent proof of the historical richness and diversity that we have, of this successful present and the articulation that exists between the different sectors. From this meeting we will build the networks that give sustainability and visibility to this wealth,” said Fredi Jar
For his part, Gabriel Romero, from the Institute of Culture of Corrientes, expressed: “We are experiencing a very valuable collective work experience; The work that Gabi did for the Chaco, which he coordinated with Laura from Misiones and with the people from Formosa and with the teams from Corrientes, was very important because the central issues related to heritage in each province were discussed. For this reason, this instance is so important, because it gives the possibility of knowing experiences
Among the experiences that the province will present will be the cases of heritage sites and places such as Concepción del Bermejo, the Historic Center of Barranqueras, Campo del Cielo, the work around the Impenetrable National Park, the revitalization and recognition of Afro-Chaco identity, the development of kenaf fibers, the cases of the René James Sotelo Chaco Aboriginal Craft Fair, the Qom Chelaalapi Choir and the Chaco Gastronomy Forum, among other initiatives
