The projects will be evaluated for their capacity to strengthen cultural identity and/or cultural heritage between both countries and their impact on the symbolic significance of this heritage. It will also take into account the effects of the project on the locality where it will be implemented, such as, sustainable development of tourism, availability of cultural activities and stimulation of science and education, among others. Above all, it will be evaluated to what extent the project is able to guarantee the destination and conservation of the heritage in the future.
