The membres of this project shared similar viewpoints about Heritage Education: it should reflect an accurate, objective, balanced interpretation of sites, landscapes, structures, objects, in appropriate context; the rich historical and cultural contributions of men and women from diverse regional, racial, and ethnic groups; the legacies in the texture and shape of our built environment; the expressions of historical and cultural experience found in different environments; an interdisciplinary approach; ethics in preservation, etc. We consider as essential the profitability of the heritage and culture of each partner entity, giving meaning and sustaining the curriculum of each country.
