Proposals of solution to the problem that exists around cultural and artistic heritage

by: German Aguilar Limón

Something that has been proved and that has to be considered with no underestimation, we ignore about our history and what it represents. Many times we say we don’t care neither the fact of knowing where we are from nor what our roots are because we feel embarrassed about our origins and the pre-Hispanic blood that runs through our veins or simply we feel diminished. But it isn’t like that, our ancestors had a great knowledge and intelligence that even today are still surprising us. All this triggers in a final problem such as people lacking culture about the place they were born or live in.

Kids today do not even know what was what civilization developed in their states (in this case Quintana Roo), they don't know either the singlets cultural heritage in their communities or surroundings; even they think it is funny to say that they are a cultural heritage.

We cannot totally blame the government because it up to each of us to get interested in; so we present some proposals to solve this problem.

Promoting awareness of cultural heritage through visits to various communities close to archeological sites at least once every 6 months beginning with elementary school children. Make them feel the desire of reading or searching into the past and all it represents.

Creating workshops to learn a language or pre-Hispanic dance schools, taking it as an extracurricular activity, because it is not necessary to impose knowledge but little by little people get interested in it, and with a recovery cost.

Propose the children to keep a travel diary in which to write the places they have visited, describing the history of each place they visit, including national cultural heritage, or which places they would like to visit when, in that way, they will know more and more as they grow up and go deeper into the past.
