All social and economic sectors have been involved as well as public-private cooperation. The Mancomunidad Taula del Sénia have participated in the European Heritage Days for the last five years in order to raise awareness about the unknown and forgotten heritage that is part of our history. This heritage needs to be preserved to convey its values to future generations.
