Transforming cultural initiatives in the territories

Based on the activities developed by the fund for the selected projects. The integral binational impact that we are generating with the deployment of the program in the territories is highlighted. As a result, we have identified that this impact encompasses 3 key dimensions:

  • Cultural outreach: strengthening of selected cultural organizations participating in the creative and training processes.
  • Social outreach: work with ethnic communities, migrants, victims of forced displacement and groups with a gender focus.
  • Economic scope: mobilization of financial resources, consolidation of work teams and dynamization of the productive chain derived from the cultural sector.

We plan to close the Cultura Latinoamérica initiative by November 2025.
