Restorers Without Borders: cultural heritage as a driving force for sustainable development

Abstract

This contribution describes the structure and mission of Restauradores Sin Fronteras (A-RSF) (Restorers Without Borders), a non-governmental development organization (NGDO), detailing its specific objectives and lines of action, all aimed at promoting cultural heritage as a driving force for sustainable development in disadvantaged communities. Some of the projects implemented in 2011 are mentioned and we also reflect upon some future prospects, especially in Latin America.
