Seminar on Cultural Information Systems given by Argentina for Countries of the Caribbean Concludes at the OAS
October 12, 2012
The seminar, “Development of Cultural Information Systems,” designed for the countries of the Caribbean and offered at the Organization of American States (OAS) by the Permanent Mission of Argentina and the country’s Ministry of Culture, concluded today at the headquarters of the hemispheric organization in Washington, D.C.
The meeting, which is a part of the “South-South Cooperation” program of the government of Argentina, had as its objective the transfer of best practices, skills, and knowledge among OAS Member States in the field of cultural management. During the four days of the seminar participants identified opportunities and challenges in the development of cultural integration systems both nationally and regionally.
Experts from the Cultural Information System of Argentina (SinCa) shared their experience in the development of a cultural data dissemination scheme of a national and federal reach, which was designed as a management tool for these polices, and as service aimed at the democratization of the emission of content on the subject. It was given to civil service professionals working within the framework of the highest national authority responsible for cultural management from Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.
At the end of the seminar, the Argentinian representatives proposed conducting a review of the concepts shared during the course and the identification of the challenges to making future progress in the implementation of a management system of cultural indicators. The proposal was accepted by the Caribbean attendees, who demonstrated their interest in this exchange of experiences as a mechanism to deepen ties between the countries participating in the framework of multilateral bodies. Speakers and attendees agreed that the goal is that these interactions generate more and new projects of South-South Cooperation, based on the needs and interests of each country that will result in benefits for all participants.
