Description
The goal of the initiative is making the historic centers of San Salvador and San Miguel vital, distinctive, inclusive, and attractive both for sustainable and responsible tourism and for the local communities residing there. This approach is mindful of safeguarding local identity resources, serving as a starting point to define and convey the uniqueness and irreproducibility, and hence the attractiveness, of these places. The shift in perspective involves considering cultural heritage as a strategic resource and a catalyst for sustainable development, seeking the right balance between conservation and transformation. Developing the historic center from a heritage-based perspective promote social cohesion, strengthen identity and a sense of belonging, and contribute to economic development. The project envisions three main outcomes: 1.Construction of a Strategic Planning Model and Support for its Implementation. 2. Increased Awareness and Training of the Population. It also involves the engagement of vulnerable groups such as women and youth, creating employment opportunities in the process. 3. Promotion of Active Civil Society Participation, promoting active participation from civil society for the revitalization of the tangible and intangible heritage of the two historic centers. The main tools for achieving objective and results are: 1.Strategic Plan (One for Each City) for Enhancing the Tangible and Intangible Heritage of the Historic Center. These plans will include sharing best practices for interventions in the conservation and reuse of heritage, as well as checklists for project quality verification and control (also serving as guidelines for potential investors). Workshops, Laboratories, and Masterclasses, Study Tours for Capacity Building: these educational activities are tailored for administrative technicians, students, members of civil society involved in the governance of historic centers, and the revival of traditional technical skills. The topics include people-based maintenance, heritage management, and engaging vulnerable groups, such as women and youth. 3. Activation of Actions for Revitalization and Identity Recovery of the Historic Center, with a specific focus on creating startups and employment opportunities. Training activities specifically target youth and women.
