Venezuela has initiated a national plan to strengthen identity and protect cultural heritage. Announced by Culture Minister Alejandro López, the project seeks to promote Venezuelan history and values in classrooms and local communities, specifically centering the figure of Simón Bolívar as a pillar of national identity.

Following this initiative, practical applications of cultural promotion have emerged through local workshops. In Ocumare de la Costa de Oro, the ‘Plan Textil Cultura Produce’ launched a garment manufacturing workshop to provide dance groups with self-management and design tools for performance costumes.
