Municipal / District Cultural Councils
The Municipal / District Cultural Councils are participation spaces of the National System of Culture, which was created by the general law of culture in 1997 and seeks to enable cultural development and access to the community of cultural goods and services. These councils seek to generate dialogue and coordination between civil society and local public entities (municipal and district) to advise the local government on the formulation, execution and evaluation of policies, plans and projects with regards to culture and in the planning of cultural processes. The Municipal or District Culture Councils have representatives from both the local and national governments, the communities, productive sectors, associations, NGOs and networks of the cultural sector, as well as the education sector, indigenous communities, youth groups, disabled persons and of the different artistic expressions.
