Webinars cycle in collaboration with the National Cultural Heritage Commission of Uruguay

On 18 December 2020, the webinar on "Intangible Cultural Heritage and Higher Education Institutions: a strategic alliance in the post-COVID19 development agenda" was held to dialogue on the challenges of higher education in the creation of a two-way dialogue with communities

Launched by UNESCO together with Chequeado - LatamChequea and funded by the European Union, PortalCheck.org is a new online platform with complementary resources and tools to help combat mis/disinformation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin American and Caribbean

Conditioned by the pandemic, this edition featured the selection of 100 young people from 13 Latin American and the Caribbean countries that received support and advice to transform the social reality in their contexts.

The biosphere reserve, together with indigenous community members, medics, volunteers and community brigades, built capacity in the management and prevention of fires, prepared community monitoring plans and carried out health checks in indigenous communities throughout the site.

UNESCO Montevideo and Chequeado have published a document so that the region has key input and seeks to mitigate the negative effects of the infodemic phenomenon.
