Participating Countries

Truly, the process of preparing and staging this first participation by the Dominican Republic in the International Heritage Photographic Experience has proved to be a difficult and arduous task for a group who lacked experience of activities at an international level. However, our satisfaction with the support we have received, as well as the enthusiasm of the young participants, has encouraged us to go ahead and start to prepare for participation in next year’s event. On this first occasion, effort has been concentrated on showing a heritage site of the first order: the colonial district of Santo Domingo, an early outpost of European, most particularly Spanish, presence in the New World, which has been declared World heritage by UNESCO.
