The Great Mission Viva Venezuela, My Beloved Homeland will begin a national deployment to hold cultural meetings, training workshops and educational activities in communities, institutions and schools.

The announcement was made by the head of the Great Viva Venezuela Mission, Tarek William Saab, during a cultural meeting with the Simón Bolívar Commune in the Altagracia parish of Caracas, specifically in the House of Freedom and Culture Alí Primera (former San Carlos Barracks), according to the press release of the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture.

Saab explained that the central objective is to integrate popular culture with community bases and students to defend national identity.

He asserted that the strategy of this Great Mission is to prioritize direct contact with youth and popular power through immediate actions. In this regard, he reported that next week a training workshop for young students will be activated at an emblematic high school in the Libertador municipality.

At the meeting, the head of the Great Mission was accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Culture, Gabriela Simoza; the Deputy Minister of Identity and Cultural Diversity, Ignacio Barreto; and the Deputy Minister of Image and Space Arts, Mary Pemjean, among other authorities, scholars and representatives of popular power.

On behalf of the Minister of Culture, Raúl Cazal, Deputy Minister Simoza expressed her support for the efforts of the Great Mission Viva Venezuela, My Beloved Homeland to rescue the values and identity of the Venezuelan people.

She also ratified her commitment as a cultor: “We will accompany this task, which I know will contribute a lot to the consolidation of peace in our country.”

For his part, Barreto stressed that it is very important that the promoters of this Great Mission reach every corner, “to immunize children” against the anti-values that come from outside and that, in some way, have permeated society such as classism, racism, machismo and misogyny.

“We want our boys and girls to grow up with values other than these, and for our young people to end up healing from those anti-values as well. That's what this army of cultivators is for,” Barreto said.
