A ten year National Cultural Policy presented today seeks to guide the safeguarding and preservation of Belize’s cultural heritage, promoting artistic expression, and enabling social and economic development through culture.

President of the National Institute of Culture and History Diane Haylock said that this is the culmination of many years of work and consultation on the direction of the policy. Its cornerstone is a bill of cultural rights emphasizing culture as the center of the Belizean humanity.
