The first day included the presence of the Professor Hector Schmucler who discoursed on "The disturbing relation between places and memories".

In the subsequent days, the discussions rotated around the strategies utilized to achieve the purpose of the sites to become adequate vehicles for the transmission of the memories on the recent past. Also the public politics -existing or desirables- were analysed to incorporate them as fundamental pieces on the memory and repair actions that the States adopt.

The places that participated on the workshop exposed the specificities and the problems of their daily work and promoted a debate around the common challenges in order to facilitating that our societies assume their history and their commitment of transmitting it to the new generations.
