Just as Berlin's techno scene represents a unique cultural phenomenon worthy of UNESCO recognition, "la sobremesa" could similarly be recognized for its significance in fostering mental health, and appreciation of local traditions. Don't you think?

Spanish / English

La Sobremesa como Patrimonio Intangible de la UNESCO 

Este ritual arraigado en nuestra cultura (no solo en la Península Ibérica), ese momento tras el almuerzo donde nos quedamos en la mesa conversando, compartiendo y disfrutando del tiempo juntos, no solo tiene un impacto positivo en nuestra sociedad sino que también promueve nuestra salud mental.

La sobremesa es mucho más que un simple postre o café. Es una oportunidad para desconectar del estrés diario y fortalecer los vínculos familiares y sociales. 

Sin embargo, esta valiosa costumbre está pasando desapercibida en su importancia. Por eso pedimos que se reconozca oficialmente a la sobremesa como Patrimonio Intangible de la Humanidad por parte de UNESCO. Esta designación no solo protegería esta tradición sino también resaltaría su valor cultural y social.

Unete a nosotros para preservar este ritual tan importante para nuestro patrimonio cultural firmando y repartiendo esta petición. https://chng.it/9VswmzY884

Preserve La Sobremesa: Let's Secure UNESCO Recognition for this Time-Honored Tradition

Dear Cultural Advocates,

I invite you to join me in a campaign to recognize "La Sobremesa" as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. La Sobremesa is not just a cultural tradition; it's a cherished part of our identity, bringing people together, fostering connection, and nurturing the soul.

Originating from the rich tapestry of Mediterranean culture, La Sobremesa embodies the essence of conviviality, community, and culinary heritage. It is more than just lingering at the table after a meal; it is a sacred ritual where bonds are forged, stories are shared, and relationships are deepened.

La Sobremesa is where laughter echoes, where ideas are exchanged, and where the fabric of our society is woven. It is a sanctuary where differences are set aside, and unity is celebrated. In a world increasingly defined by haste and disconnection, La Sobremesa stands as a beacon of warmth, fostering a sense of belonging and belongingness.

By petitioning for UNESCO recognition, we seek to preserve and honor this invaluable tradition for generations to come. UNESCO recognition will not only elevate the status of La Sobremesa on the global stage but also provide vital protection and support for its continued practice and appreciation.

Join me in calling upon UNESCO to acknowledge La Sobremesa as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, safeguarding its legacy and ensuring its enduring presence in our lives. Let us stand together to celebrate the beauty of shared moments, the richness of cultural diversity, and the power of connection embodied in La Sobremesa.

Sign this petition and spread the word to friends, family, and communities worldwide. Together, let's ensure that La Sobremesa takes its rightful place among humanity's most treasured traditions.

¡Viva La Sobremesa!
