Last week, Carlos Guedes took part in the expert module “Cultural Heritage & Knowledge Development: Fostering a Culture of Integrated Protection,” organized by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi.

The four-day program brought together professionals from across the UAE and GCC to explore how culture, creativity, and heritage can intersect to shape sustainable development. Through a mix of seminars, workshops, and site-based exercises, participants engaged in hands-on exchanges on cultural policy, creative economies, and heritage protection.

Together with Khadija El Bennaoui, he co-led the session “Abu Dhabi Creative City and Its Cooperation with Other Cities.”
