Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala highlights initiatives for cultural preservation

The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala has recently announced several initiatives and events focused on cultural preservation and artistic development, according to its official Twitter account.

On November 4, 2025, the Ministry stated that "El citado convenio tiene como propósito brindar apoyo en la preservación, difusión y revitalización de la tradición oral guatemalteca. Con este acuerdo se cumple con parte de los objetivos de la desconcentración del arte y la cultura." The announcement highlights the ministry's ongoing efforts to support Guatemala’s oral traditions as part of a broader goal to decentralize art and culture in the country.

Continuing these efforts, the Ministry shared on November 5, 2025, that "#Petén | 25 niños, jóvenes y adultos participaron en el taller “Aprendiendo Maya Mopán con juegos lúdicos”, una iniciativa para fortalecer la identidad y preservar este valioso idioma ancestral.
