Lima 2019 conducted the Training Session for Strategic Partners, Suppliers and Artists of the Cultural Venue, part of the Cultural Program (Culturaymi). This venue will be operating simultaneously to the sports competition of the Games in order to show to show the Cultural Program’s dimension and importance.
The training session also aimed to make the attendees aware of the Parapan American sports and the appropriate treatment of people with an impairment. Likewise, it informed about the basic aspects of the proper handling of solid waste and presented the strategy of the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations “ponte en #ModoNiñez” (which aims to protect children’s welfare) as part of the Cultural Program.
To that end, the training session counted on the participation of Cindy Vásquez, head of the Cultural Program and Lima 2019 Welcome Ceremonies; Carolina Larco, Lima 2019 Parapan Integration representative; Silvia Mori, Director of Education and Environmental Citizenship in the Ministry of Environment; and María del Carmen Santiago, General Director of Girls, Boys and Teenagers in the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations.
“Through the call, we wanted to give an opportunity to those projects and artists that did not have the necessary support to stay in an important platform such as the Cultural Venue. Our interest is that, through Lima 2019, everyone knows about the wonderful cultural projects that will definitely enrich our venue,” assured Vásquez.
The objectives of the Cultural Venue and the Cultural Circuit are the training of spectators, the dissemination of independent artistic communities, the preservation of heritage, the promotion of alliances between public and private sectors, the integration of cultural industries workers, among others. They are expected to have an attendance of one million people.
