The event is being held from August 11-13, bringing together participants to learn how to document, safeguard, and celebrate Belize’s diverse food heritage.
The workshop opened with welcome remarks from Rolando Cocom, Director of ISCR-NICH, and Arreini Palacio-Morgan, Secretary-General of the Belize UNESCO Commission and member of the Board of Directors of NICH.
