Community Participation

Active Inclusion:

Facilitate the participation of ethnic communities in decision-making related to their artistic practices and expressions.

Consultations and Dialogues:

Participate in spaces for continuous dialogue between communities and district entities, including Idartes.

Exclusive Access and Ethnicity Validation:

Access to institutional services and offerings is reserved exclusively for members of ethnic communities validated by the Directorate of Ethnic Affairs of the District Government Secretariat. This entity confirms the ethnicity of individuals through the databases of the Ministry of the Interior, thus promoting the individual and collective rights of these social groups and their respective populations.

Respect and Recognition of Cultural Identity:

Respect for and recognition of the valuable cultural identity of ethnic communities is guaranteed. The ethnicity verification is carried out with the authorities and representatives of the organizational processes of indigenous, Gypsy, Afro-Colombian, Raizal and Palenquera communities, preventing people outside these ethnic groups from participating in open calls and actions with an ethnic focus.

Management of Non-Ethnic Citizens:

Non-ethnic citizens are directed towards the general programs, open calls and services of Idartes, which offer a wide range of options accessible to all other residents of the Capital District, the Bogotá savannah and the areas of the metropolitan region, in accordance with the conditions of participation.

 


Requirements for Access and Participation:

  • Ethnicity Validation:

Verification that the interested parties are members of the ethnic communities recognized by the Ministry of the Interior and the District Government Secretariat.

  • Concerted Participation:

From their formulation to execution, ethnically focused open calls and actions are developed in collaboration with the authorities and representatives of the organizational processes of ethnic communities, ensuring that the initiatives are relevant and valuable to these communities.

  • Exclusivity of Recognized Ethnic Groups:

Only ethnic collectives and members of ethnic communities validated by the Directorate of Ethnic Affairs can access the open calls, targeted promotion mechanisms and specific services with an ethnic focus.
