About the Cultural Preservation Programme of the Federal Foreign Office:
Since 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany has supported the preservation of cultural heritage worldwide via the Cultural Preservation Programme of the Federal Foreign Office. The Cultural Preservation Programme fosters knowledge transfer and cultural dialogue among partners. Protecting and maintaining cultural diversity is one of the priorities of the Federal Foreign Office’s cultural work abroad.
“By preserving cultural heritage, we are supporting the cause of peaceful co-existence and mutual understanding. Cultural heritage helps people understand their own origins and home regions, while at the same time promoting respect for and dialogue with other cultures.”
