Cultural Folklore Class -- "Creating the future and honoring the past"  The study of folklore and the meanings of our own customs give us better insight into the society in which we live.  In a rapidly changing world, traditional culture and folklore play an essential role in preserving the identity and diversity. Especially in the artistic background of Solentiname,  Art and Culture is an integral part of the developing tourism system, especially in Solentiname.  But, there is more,  folklore enables us to share our common heritage;  youth learning and experiencing their historical birthright; adults in the community experiencing the pride of their past; and  tourists sharing the common bond of humanity. Everyone truly benefits as cultural heritage is shared.
