Dialogues for the Patrimonialization of Portuñol
In 2012 the coordination of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) presented a request to UNESCO for the declaration of Portuñol as an intangible heritage of Uruguay. This request was rejected and for this reason the MEC Centers initiated a series of cultural activities to promote Portuñol, thus arousing the interest of the citizens. Thus, in 2015, the first process of requesting the patrimonialization of a dialect in Uruguay began, with a representative event of "Jodido Bushinshe", binational dialogues for joint planning on Uruguay-Brazil border culture processes. The process consists of a first stage (already carried out) of building the proposal based on dialogues and public debates accompanied by academic presentations. The second stage includes the extension of these debates to the frontier cities, on both the Brazilian and Uruguayan sides.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
