DESIGN AND PARTICIPATORY UPDATE OF CULTURAL POLICIES, PERIOD 2017-2022.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE CULTURAL POLICY RENEWAL PROCESS WAS ITS COLLABORATIVE CONSTRUCTION, THE RESULT OF AN OPEN AND PARTICIPATORY PROCESS DESIGNED TO TAKE CHARGE OF LOCAL REALITIES AND THE HERITAGE THAT COMMUNITIES AND THEIR CREATORS POSSESS WHEN FACING THEIR NEEDS. FULFILLING THESE OBJECTIVES, ALL CULTURAL POLICIES WERE BUILT FROM CITIZEN PARTICIPATION, WITH THE PURPOSE OF EXPANDING ACCESS TO THE DISCUSSION OF THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS OF EACH SECTOR AND WITH A DECENTRALIZING VIEW THAT HIGHLIGHTED THE VARIOUS TERRITORIALITIES, AS WELL AS THE ACTIONS THAT ARISE FROM CRITICAL REFLECTION. THIS JOINT PROCESS BETWEEN THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND THE CREATORS INCLUDED REGIONAL MEETINGS, THE COLLABORATION OF KEY AGENTS OF EACH SECTOR AND NATIONAL MEETINGS, INSTANCES THAT TOGETHER ADDED A TOTAL OF 90 CONFERENCES ORGANIZED IN THE DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY, CALLING FOR A TOTAL OF 4,245 PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE REFLECTION ON THE COMPLEXITIES OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SECTORS, FROM AN INTEGRATED AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE, AS A RESULT OF WHICH TRANSVERSAL MEASURES WERE ESTABLISHED TO STRENGTHEN THEIR DEVELOPMENT. THE "REGIONAL CULTURAL CONVENTIONS" AND "NATIONAL CONVENTIONS", HELD ANNUALLY, SUMMONING THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE AGENTS OF THE SECTOR, WERE ALSO ADDED TO THIS PROCESS.

THIS CULTURAL POLICIES CONSTRUCTION NEW PERSPECTIVE FOCUSES ON THE CREATION OF A NEW CHILEAN CULTURAL INSTITUTIONALITY, AND THE EFFORTS DONE TO ENHANCE THE STATE ACTIONS, WHICH SHOULD CONNECT TO THE SOCIAL, AND CULTURAL CHANGES EXPERIENCED NOWADAYS IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY. ANOTHER CONSTANT, IN ALL THE NEW CULTURAL POLICIES, IS IMPLEMENTING FOLLOW-UP PLANS. THEY CONSIDER THE CATEGORIZATION AND SCHEDULING OF THE PROPOSED MEASURES TO PRIORITIZE THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IN A SHORT, MEDIUM OR LONG TERM, AS WELL AS EVALUATING THE RESOURCES AND THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR ITS COMPLIANCE. THEREFORE, AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF TECHNICAL, BUDGETARY, ORGANIC FEASIBILITY, AND INTER-INSTITUTIONAL AND INTER-MINISTERIAL COORDINATION DEVELOPS. THIS IS NECESSARY FOR THE EXECUTION OF EACH POLICY, PERMITTING NOT ONLY FOR THE PLANNING OF ANNUAL PROGRESS FOR THE FULFILMENT OF THESE. A KEY ELEMENT WILL BE THE ARTICULATION BETWEEN THE MINISTRIES, UNDERSECRETARIES AND/OR PUBLIC SERVICES WITH POWERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE MEASURES PROPOSED IN THE POLICY.

- NATIONAL POLICY 2017-2022: DEFINES THE GUIDELINES AND ORIENTATIONS OF THE STATE'S WORK IN THE CULTURAL FIELD VALID FOR THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE. EVEN THOUGH IN PREVIOUS POLICY DESIGN EXERCISES, THE REGIONS AND ARTISTIC SECTORS HAD A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED NATIONAL POLICY AS A FRAMEWORK, IN THE CURRENT RENEWAL PROCESS THIS LOGIC WAS REVERSED. THE FORMULATION OF CULTURAL POLICIES WAS CARRIED OUT FIRST FROM THE TERRITORIES AND THE ARTISTIC SECTORS AND IT WAS THESE POLICIES THAT FED THE NATIONAL CULTURAL POLICY.

- SECTOR POLICIES 2017-2022: THEY ESTABLISH THE OBJECTIVES AND MEASURES TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF EACH OF THE ARTISTIC AREAS OR CREATIVE INDUSTRIES THAT ARE PART OF THE CULTURAL FIELD. THE SECTORAL POLICIES APPROVED WERE THE FOLLOWING: NATIONAL POLICY FOR CRAFTS, NATIONAL POLICY FOR VISUAL ARTS, NATIONAL POLICY FOR PERFORMING ARTS, POLICY FOR THE PROMOTION OF DESIGN, POLICY FOR THE PROMOTION OF ARCHITECTURE, NATIONAL POLICY FOR THE FIELD OF MUSIC AND POLITICS NATIONAL OF THE AUDIOVISUAL FIELD.

- REGIONAL POLICIES 2017-2022: THEY TAKE CHARGE OF THE EXISTING TERRITORIAL PARTICULARITIES THROUGHOUT CHILE, SETTING THE CRITERIA THAT GUIDE PUBLIC ACTION IN CULTURAL MATTERS IN EACH OF THE 15 REGIONS. THEY ARE THE GUIDING DOCUMENTS FOR PUBLIC POLICY ON CULTURE FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WHICH WILL FACILITATE PLANNING, DEFINITION OF GUIDELINES AND PRIORITIES THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ADDRESS THE TASK OF MINCAP IN A COMPREHENSIVE, EFFECTIVE AND PERTINENT MANNER TO THE TERRITORIES. THE REGIONAL POLICIES APPROVED WERE THE FOLLOWING: REGIONAL CULTURAL POLICY OF ARICA AND PARINACOTA, REGIONAL CULTURAL POLICY OF TARAPACA, CULTURAL POLICY OF ANTOFAGASTA, CULTURAL POLICY OF ATACAMA, CULTURAL POLICY OF COQUIMBO, CULTURAL POLICY OF VALPARAISO, CULTURAL POLICY OF THE METROPOLITAN REGION, CULTURAL POLICY DE O'HIGGINS, CULTURAL POLICY OF MAULE, CULTURAL POLICY OF BIOBIO, CULTURAL POLICY OF LA ARAUCANIA, CULTURAL POLICY OF LOS RIOS, CULTURAL POLICY OF LOS LAGOS, CULTURAL POLICY OF AYSEN AND CULTURAL POLICY OF MAGALLANES.
