OUR OBJECTIVES
Its main objective is to safeguard the intangible heritage of the Pyrenees, developing research projects, global educational actions and dissemination tasks. These actions aim to promote critical and scientific thinking as well as to become a guarantor for the construction of both personal and social identity.
