Résumé en anglais
In 2005 the Caja Madrid Foundation, the RegionalGovernment of La Rioja and the Religious Community of
the Augustinian Recollects signed an agreement to promotethe Cultural Project of Restoration of the church of the 16th century Monastery of San Millán de Yuso that was included on the World Heritage List in 1997 as birthplace of the Spanish language.An ambitious Communication and
Dissemination Plan was launched as part of the restorationproject, aimed at introducing young students of the region to the concept of Cultural Heritage and the importance of
preserving the values and significance of this WorldHeritage Site. The Plan consists of a series of activities
related to the different parts of a multidisciplinary restoration project that permit the schoolchildren to understand disciplines such as archaeology, historical research, architectural construction, and restoration of furnishings.This initiative is intended to create an educational dynamic
that will permit the Regional Office of Education to continue with these workshops even when this restoration process has been completed.
