District Council of Culture for Ethnic Groups and Social Sectors and Age Groups

The District Council of Culture for Ethnic Groups and Social Sectors and Age Groups was created as a setting for the District System of Art, Culture and Heritage of the Capital District, within the Subsystem of Culture for Ethnic Groups and Social Sectors and Age Groups. The Council is a setting for the deliberation, participation and coordination of public and private policies, plans and programs and the respective strategic lines of investment for the cultural development of ethnic groups and social sectors and age group, in which representatives of all social and ethnic sectors from the Subsystem Councils and representatives of the district administration responsible for these issues participate. Initially, the District System of Culture was created in 2002, but it was not until 2007 that a subsystem was created for these social groups, when a reform was made to this System and the District System of Art, Culture and Heritage was established and as part of this, the Subsystem for the Culture of Ethnic and Rural Poor Groups and Communities, women, and rural and social populations and sectors; and the District Council bearing the same name. Later, in 2009, this Subsystem was modified and it was called the Subsystem of Ethnic Groups and Social Sectors and Age Groups, as well as its respective Council.
