The joint initiative by the Talayotic Menorca Agency and the Voluntariat de Camins i Jaciments de Menorca strengthens the preservation of a unique archaeological site located near Maó.

The various presentations and conferences from the Alianza de Paisajes Culturales y Sitios Afines del Patrimonio Mundial Workshop are now available on the Alianza's official YouTube channel. This event, held in Menorca from March 10 to 12, 2025, brought together experts in heritage, communication, and outreach to discuss effective strategies for engaging society with the properties inscribed on the World Heritage List.    

This month we interviewed Josep Bernales Sastre, a social worker and educator.

The first day of the Alianza de Paisajes Culturales Workshop has begun in Menorca with an official reception at the Consell Insular. President Adolfo Vilafranca welcomed attendees, highlighting the importance of this gathering in strengthening the connection between heritage and society.    

This month, we interview Lluís Pons Livermore, a Menorcan slinger. On March 4, he will embark on a journey to Guam, a Pacific island that also has a long tradition of slingshot throwing. Although there is no direct connection between the prehistory of Menorca and that of Guam, there are some similarities. 

The Consell Insular de Menorca  will host the upcoming Workshop of the Alliance of Cultural Landscapes and Related World Heritage Sites, which will take place on the island from March 10 to 12. For the first time, it will be open to the general public. Those interested in attending can register via email at info@menorcatalayotica.info until March 6.  

This meeting seeks to establish a common political strategy to continue strengthening the positioning of the member sites. During these two days, the highest political representatives of each associated site are designing medium and long-term action plans to boost the Alliance.

This month, we interview Esperança Frau, a Menorcan teacher and researcher. With her work "The Prehistoric Assets of Talayotic Menorca in Primary Education in the Island’s Schools", she won second place in the 2024 Feliciano Fuster Award, granted by the Ateneu de Maó.

A new edition of the outreach program “Som Essència Talaiòtica” begins. The Department of Cultural Affairs of the Consell Insular de Menorca and the Talayotic Menorca Agency are organizing a new edition of the outreach program “Som Essència Talaiòtica” to promote the Talayotic heritage of the island, which is included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

The project will be mostly funded by a €562,007.55 grant from the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Housing. The funding was awarded under the 2% Cultural Program, which focuses on the recovery and promotion of Spain's historical heritage.    

This aid will be used to improve signage and information on the archaeological sites of Talayotic Menorca. It is the result of a project that the agency submitted to the call for grants for the conservation, protection and dissemination of World Heritage Sites for 2024. 

The artist was awarded a €2,000 grant, the prize for this competition organized by the Associació d'Amics del Museu de Menorca with the support of the Department of Cultural Affairs of the Consell Insular de Menorca/Talayotic Menorca Agency.

This month, we interview archaeologist Octavio Torres Gomariz, who has just published the book Cercles, l'hàbitat protohistòric de l'illa de Menorca alongside Amalia Pérez-Juez. The book is available online in the repository of the University of Alicante as part of the Petracos Collection from the university’s Institute of Archaeology and Historical Heritage.

Its creation has been possible thanks to the public-private collaboration between the Consell Insular de Menorca/Talayotic Menorca Agency and the creator of the toy, Ivan Khanet. This initiative reflects the institutional commitment to the promotion of local culture.
