CONCLUSIONES 1. El panel destacó el interés del público por realizar otros foros de discusión sobre los programas culturales que se podrían realizar por la representación consular para promover la imagen positiva de México en esta región de California. En particular se destacaron los eventos gastronómicos y eventos culturales donde estén presentes los medios de comunicación que remarquen la relevancia de la comunidad mexicana en California. 2. Se señaló que los programas de Acción Diferida y de Doble Ciudadanía, entre otros, podrían estar mejor difundidos a través de las escuelas. Asimismo, se hizo énfasis en incorporar estos temas en las actividades de arte y cultura para concientizar al público de todas las edades. 3. Se remarcó a las artes como vehículo transformador y de unidad que podría permitir el trabajo en contra de la violencia social. 4. Llama la atención del público en el debate creado por los ataques verbales a la comunidad latina en época electoral en Estados Unidos y se remarca la preocupación del público por la intensificación de estos comentarios en el país.
