Cultural heritage preservation

Many people contend that cultural heritage preservation should be a main aim for our governments since it is the source and the proof of human history. Cultural heritage involves not only tangible heritage (such as books, paintings, sculptures or museums) but also immaterial culture (such as knowledge, traditions or language). Due to that Therefore, cultural heritage preservation is not an easy task. However, in this essay I will propose two possible actions that governments should ponder.

The first option to consider is an education campaign in schools. In fact, one of the education system’s purposes is, actually, to transmit cultural roots from generation to generation. Still, an education campaign to preserve cultural heritage should go further. For example, schools could set a week in its their calendar of events to promote cultural activities such as visiting museums, practicing regional dances, listening to ancient tales, etc. It would be successful if children could look at cultural activities as a game.

A second approach could be increasing funding for museums. In times of financial crisis this approach is not always seen as a priority. People claim that governments should spend the money in on more important things. But we cannot just get rid of museums. Museums facilitate individual development through education, they promote happiness and wellbeing since they are entertaining and, definitively, museums could be a source for economic growth through tourism.

In my view, both options could go hand in hand. Maybe, an education campaign would be the most effective starting point but increasing funding of museums should also be considered as one of the most important lines in order to preserve cultural heritage.

using "since" is acceptable, but "because" may be more clear.

use either "a school could set a week in its calendar" (singular) or schools could set a week in their calendar" (plural)

I added "they promote" because the word "through" in first clause of the sentence "Museums facilitate individual development through education," leaves the reader expecting a list of ways that museums facilitate individual development. For example "Museums facilitate individual development through education, inspiration and hands on experience". By adding "they" it tells the reader that the sentence is a list of the things museums do not a list of ways they facilitate individual development. I hope that makes sence.
