The municipality selected in the rigorous UNESCO process, qualified in the Cinema category since last year, will be represented by Mayor Ronaldo Lopes and the Secretary of Tourism and Creative Economy, Jair Galvão.
“For the first time, Penedo City Hall will be present at the forum. This is a major opportunity to elevate Penedo’s name and be part of debates and activities, always aiming for sustainable development through culture and creativity.” said the Mayor Ronaldo Lopes.
It’s important to highlight that the event will also be an opportunity of sharing innovative policies and good practices, as for creating bonds and possible partnerships between member cities as well.
“Only 350 cities in the entire world are part of the international network, and our Penedo is among them as the only representative in Alagoas. It is time for Penedo to present to the world all of its potential. The UNESCO seal is already a mark in our city History.” Concludes Jair Galvão.
