Within the framework of the Second National Culture Conference, the Director of Arts and Access to Culture of the Ministry of Culture, Mariela Noriega, introduced the National Register of Points of Culture, a tool that will allow the recognition by the Peruvian State organizations that develop and / or promote cultural initiatives.
The National Register of Points of Culture's main objective is to generate a network of exchanges and synergies to strengthen community cultural organizations nationwide, through access to resources for capacity building, financing strategies and partial visibility for various projects.
Organizations, associations, groups or cultural groups who wish to be recognized as Points of Culture may register through the online. Once the online registration is completed, the Ministry of Culture awards a document certifying their membership of the Network Points of Culture of Peru.
This tool is based on the Brazilian experience of the same name and, so far, has managed to mobilize more than thirty cultural organizations in the country. With the recent launch of the official registration it is expected that by the end of the year, the number will triple.
