The Catholic University of Manizales UCM aims to raise its academic offer in order to interact in global contexts through the use of English as a foreign language. In tourism academic fields it is possible to find strategies and actions focused on protection, use and promotion of cultural heritages. Also, English language is a cultural competence for interacting in the professional global stage. With this MOOCS, professionals related with tourism, culture, heritage and related professions will be able to propose touristic strategies for heritage management. Participants can interact with different topics and disciplinary contents, texts, exercises, and resources to be applied on glocal situations and national, regional and global reflections. Around the world many different cultural expressions are included on global, national and local heritage lists, this inclusion implies strategies for its protection and promotion, and one very healthy strategy is tourism. In consequence, many physical expressions of heritage are integrated, used and promoted as touristic resources. This course gets a structured vision on heritage management with emphasis on strategies for tourism.
Many people, many political discourses and many public policies are oriented to promote and develop the internationalization of education in general and specifically to the development of global citizenship competencies, through multiple guidelines with global pretensions.

As you probably know, each country has its principal symbols, places, and heritages in general, usually, they are included on heritage national and international lists, and this nomination works as platforms to promote different touristic uses of heritage, related to common interests from different persons, it is the case of Egypt, Mexico or Peru recognized by their pyramids and archeology, that´s part of the history and the reason why many travelers go there.
