January 27, 2016 a few days
weeks of having started my work
as general director of the institute
Lion cultural touches me because it
It was on the agenda of the tour
development polygons with the mayor
of the city which are the polygons
development are eight urban areas
found on the periphery of our
city in which the greatest
lag in education services
economy etcetera deep lags and
severe and
well within the agenda of the day
played be present here we go
walking on one of these streets
devoid of all dirty service
risky and suddenly approaching semi
a group of between five and six children the
most would not have more than six years
approach with me
one of them takes my pants
he caressed his hair he turned me to see
with a puzzled look and
disconcerting and moves away
we continue the journey we stayed
clear the intention that we should of
work all dependencies in favor
of these areas how to involve the
culture and art in these areas
to some extent desolate and in that
the day has passed and it will reach my
I was home with my wife and suddenly
I have the pants that touched the flight
resistol 5000 the little ones of these
development polygons
many times because of the need for
mothers for being with work or if you are
can call work this new way of
slavery
you that we suddenly find in
our big cities or for not counting
with him and having the hopelessness of not
know what to do with your little ones
with the family
some of them turn to this type of
products that are severely harmful
for health are industrial elements
that are used in this city for the
footwear and use them to mitigate it
Hunger for the little ones
that was my first experience inside
of the lion cultural institute
facing me to what we already knew that
we had to contribute the polygons of
development at that time for me was
a long night because I could not sleep
Just imagine what nights are
these people saying like me with the
art and culture as the institute with
art and culture like all people
that we work in this cultural we are going to
get to offer them these people
when elementary needs do not
they are not covered
the hours passed the next day
we had to work in the program
government we have to carry out the plan of
work to be able to have everything ready to
time and we already had a good part
advanced
let’s get to politicians
development let’s put workshops going
to do a series of things that
involve these people who have very
few possibilities
generally to access issues
artistic cultural but to this
lady who grabbed her little ones
of these 5,000 hands and demons will
will import art and culture
that mother who has four children
one of them woman and who prostitutes
from the age of nine to be able to continue
and paying their celaste water or what
be that she with her mom that is going to
import art and culture in this
process was working like that
we want something here what I’m going to
do to the polygons we’re going to see
in the polygons with this cultural
when a word came to my mind
the mayor from the first day we
he mentioned and japan
transversality of culture
from our perspective of being a one
of incentives a development engine
social , art and culture should be
hand in hand with another series of
actions that we must do together
transversally transversality
it’s a concept of seeing if it can be that
this is unrolled is in which
our governance structures have
been always with a head and a
series of addresses that we are all
municipal entities in this case and
then from here other more
and so until the most is glossed that
may be the vertical structure in the
that we are used to working
this vertical structure is what we
has imposed the way of working for
with our citizens
in this way is how the
projects arrive administrations are
administrations will implement
the projects go away because this is what
what happens is always worked in a
vertical trunk the way of working
we are proposing now is the subject
transversal how to make a diagram
that we can eradicate this
way of working is so harmful
for structures and policies
public
let’s find a way in which
we are all in one with the same
synergy and we can be working on
set
but this transversality is little thing
if we do it from the structures
governmental
we need work necessarily
jarc in the inclusion we are working
directly with the polygons
development with civil society with the
private initiative with people who
be organized and have this desire
to put the balance back a bit
more couple and here
Quoting a bit of Jorge Melguizo that
that has made possible so many things that
have happened in Colombia directly in
medellin
we do not assume cooperation as an act
to ask for us to be given but as
the management of true bonds of
complicit complicity solidarity is
the one who is willing to dream and
commit to the dreams that
we have to be committed
with our dreams
we are so committed we are all
be committed government we are with
for being committed civil society
we are so committed all so that
this can achieve social balance
according to the coneval we have in this city
from just over one million 600 thousand
inhabitants 600,000 people with some
lack that can be considered
poor 600 thousand poor of these 600 thousand
poor 330 thousand live in these polygons
of development that I mentioned to them does
a moment and these 330 thousand pesos have
children and are more than 200 thousand children of
17 years living in conditions
extreme poverty in this city to
be able to work in this transversality
it is indispensable for us to respect
your idiosyncrasy so that you can
work with her and from the root
because what we have always like this
done and it is already proven that
it works is the healthcare part the
paternalistic part that comes to work
to the polygons development and that has
ideas that may be good but that
come to be imposed they become
implemented
although they come to be consensual as
we can know the idiosyncrasies of each
group with which we are working
we can have real solutions for what
what are we doing
art and culture can be an engine
of social development
I’m convinced that’s it
cross at the lion cultural institute
we are working on a strategy
they call community cultural councils
they are nothing other than working in a
transversal with other dependencies
we work with the dif we work with the
direction of human development
we work with the secretariat of
public safety through its
pre-sale unit or logos we work
with the youth institute
we go down with education we work with
many other dependencies to be able
get to do these tips as
community cultural institutions in
What are those in work groups?
they train in civic competitions
educational and cultural through a
methodology that we have implemented in
the cultural institute in the network in the
academics working with them
they do the trainings and very
important is working with groups to
who is the project aimed at
a question of self-management and one in
a proactive participation and a
participation in joint society
civil initiative private government all
together that you work in the councils
community cultural reality and
situation of each of these groups
marginalized
that is, we are working in the
castles and we have a group of
Young teenagers start to
work with them young teenagers
at risk of gangs and
another set of sensitive issues is
work with them becomes a matter
of self-management know how can they
start working and externalize this
series of demands that they have
he is the voice gives them a chance to
feel belonging to a group of
identity themselves generate their
your logo name the
advice and give it an artistic outlet
cultural
to all this that happens today we have
underway 20 cultural councils
community
The success of this program is that when
we are going to change the
administration changed the party
changed the officials
the groups to be consolidated already
Sometimes I do not share a little of what happens
with boy scouts because they cause created
for everything and all over the world and its success
is the work they do towards
inside each group self-defines each
group is self-appointed and each group has
artistic output artistic forgiveness
plastic that they need this
the idea is that these 20 tips that
we have now to be able to boost three
times more and have 60 tips
cultural events at the end of
administration that meet or have
fulfilled with the cycle of three of three
sessions this these tips have a
bread with the school year and we achieved that
these tips meet at least three
cycles we guarantee that these
competences are included in the
community and can be repeated when
we are not do not need
budget because it’s with work
community are tools that we
can help make the change
in these that can help us
change in this very disadvantaged area
we have another tool that are the
cultural halls
this they do have to see a part
important with the care issue are
artistic workshops
then we are doing the
combination of artistic workshops
when these cultural councils can
start today to start having these
fruits of the people who are working
in cultural consumption are going to be able
have the instruction of a workshop
artistic as such if that is the desire
that the groups had because we
began to give in with the pilot group that
we made the same guys that
participated in this in this council we
they already demanded an artistic workshop
then they left the option’s
the gang entered a council
cultural and now they are using the
cultural halls to be able to
manifest their experiences in a way
much more artistic and from the
government program we have
had all the programs that we have
implemented or that we have preserved
we have given him
the co to the periphery be always
from the periphery to the center
our programs have been inclusive
we saw programs and projects as
school theater that is to work with the
national theater coordination is a
event in which it is a call it
chose a play and presents
to children of primary school age and
high school
we followed the overturn and we attended
with that program 45 thousand children 40 and 40
percent from polygons
had never been done is usually if
came some school of some
polygon development was because he had
touched by coincidence they had a two
or three a year
now we had more than 45 thousand children and the
40 percent come from polygons
this situation begins to change the
life and when you start to run into that
they came to school theater or they came to
the book fair comes to the festival of
contemporary art or Cervantino a
visit our galleries and so on
they begin to be related to what
is happening in your community with the
community cultural councils starts
to be a sense and begins to permeate
towards his family and later towards
their community
but good is part of dell the map and
the indicators that are important but
the most important thing for us
are the people
these are the cultural councils
communities that are starting to
change the life of each of these
people that we can see here 20
tips until now the goal is 60 and
that can be repeated three times so that
civic civic competences and
cultural values that they have learned in each
one of the communities and that does not
they need nothing for themselves
be agents of change
we are only accompanying
not only direct we need to work
with them
promote self-management and a series of
issues that are definitely
indispensable for the
development and the balance of this
society that we have so unbalanced
we are more hands we are joining
more people
we are adding more minds we are
to join more wills but about
we are all much much more humanity
of all of us
thank you very much and good Tasks
