have extended an invitation to the community to participate in the new cultural segments Explanation: The translation for "convocatoria" is "summons" or "a call for a meeting", but in this situation, "to extend an invitation" is more appropriate. Also if the context refers to a radio or TV show, the translation for "spacios" should be "segments" instead of "spaces". |
