The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala published a series of posts on November 6, 2025, highlighting efforts to recover cultural artifacts and promote educational activities for children.

In a post at 02:45 UTC, the Ministry stated: "Este proceso permite que piezas arqueológicas, artísticas y de valor cultural regresen a Guatemala mediante la colaboración ciudadana y la cooperación internacional. Cada recuperación fortalece el compromiso de proteger el legado que nos une y nos representa ante el mundo. " (November 6, 2025). The statement emphasized that these recoveries are made possible through both citizen participation and international cooperation.

Shortly after, the Ministry promoted an educational initiative by inviting children to participate in a vacation course at the National Library. At 03:00 UTC they posted: " ¡Un espacio para crear, imaginar y descubrir! La Biblioteca Nacional de Guatemala “Luis Cardoza y Aragón”, invita a niños y niñas de 7 a 14 años a participar en el Curso de Vacaciones, un espacio lleno de creatividad, lectura, arte y aprendizaje. " (November 6, 2025).

Further details were provided in another post at the same time: "Del 17 de noviembre al 10 de diciembre, disfruta de las actividades. De lunes a viernes, de 10:00 a 11:30 horas. Inscripciones del 10 al 14 de noviembre al correo: biblionacionaldeguatemala@gmail.com ¡Admisión gratuita y cupo limitado! " (November 6, 2025).

The recovery of cultural artifacts is part of ongoing efforts by Guatemalan authorities to reclaim items of national heritage that have been taken abroad or lost over time. These initiatives often rely on partnerships with international organizations and the involvement of local citizens.

The Biblioteca Nacional “Luis Cardoza y Aragón” serves as an important public institution dedicated to promoting literacy and culture among young people in Guatemala. Its vacation courses provide opportunities for creative learning outside regular school schedules.
