What is the Cultural Heritage Leadership course about?
You're dedicating your life to preserving Mazatec history, yet systemic challenges, lack of documentation standards, limited intergenerational transfer frameworks, and inconsistent recognition, make long-term impact fragile. Without structured stewardship, even the most vital knowledge risks fading. You're not just teaching history, you're defending continuity. But doing it alone means reinventing systems every time, draining energy from the mission.
