Access to cultural heritage and democratic participation

About the Faro Convention, we agree what says in the article 12, a, b: “Access to cultural heritage and democratic participation”, but we must clarify somethings in points c and d in particular about the “voluntary organisations”. What organizations we are talking about? When should they act? We must recognize which are the heritage communities, organizations and other people who can be part of the protection system. And then when must give its opinion. An example of partecipation is that of the “Servei” of monuments in Barcellona, Spain. In the method (that we will explain) is included in one part to have the opinion of different statements when the works of restoration are advanced. A not good example is the work in the Leon Cathedral by “Amigos de la Catedral”.
