The event that was held at Paseo El Valle with the participation of more than 30 entrepreneurs and artisans who have been offering to the visitor several products from plants, products for personal care and care of skin of natural origin, decorations for the home as well as products made from wood and jewelry and with recycled material, and with them they have been commended by Giselle González Villarrué, Minister of Culture about the varied sample.

The pictoric works and traditional Panamanian folkloric costumes have been highlighted as well. While at the gastronomic part the sandwiches, desserts and delicious pallets of natural fruit with affordable prices have been welcomed by consumers.

The artisans who met had an opportunity to renew and sign up for the artisan accreditation plan and to get the identification that attests them as raw material workers with benefits such as an exemption from buying their products among other facilities.

As part of his "Taste A El Valle" program, the Ministry of Culture held a workshop entitled "Claves to undertake in Culture" dictated by Gerardo Neugovsen from the direction of Creative Economics with the aim of elevating and enriching through tools and ideas the different initiatives that have been put together at the fair space.

Similarly, the artisan have been illustrated from a second workshop about Cultural Diplomacy with Benigno Moran from the technical cooperation management, who told them that under this concept have been established different relations with embassies and consulates to promote cultural exchange among entrepreneurs from different countries.

Building on good climate, families enjoyed good music from Senan's 4-13 Orchestra, local urban music group Med Lirikal, folk sets from local schools and an amusing percussion workshop with "TanCubo" that through music and rhythm they are taught discipline, teamwork, tolerance and concentration and to close at night the Panamanian film "something blue."

Ellis Newman, Director of Creative Economics of MiCultura called for all participants as well as local artisans, entrepreneurs and artists to be part of SiCultura, a platform that will help them to be part of a cultural map that can be found for different partners from anywhere in the world looking for autochthonous and quality products.
