ALBA Culture Ministers in Caracas
Caracas - Culture ministers of the Bolivarian
Alternative for the Peoples of Our America
(ALBA) and guests from Ecuador and Paraguay
are to meet Friday in this capital to
evaluate integration projects of that
regional mechanism.
The meeting is part of a large campaign
started Wednesday in the presence of
outstanding Latin American figures.
They debated on the crisis of global
capitalism and current world challenges.
The aim of this ministerial event is to
evaluate advances of the ALBA-Culture Grand
National Project. The bank of this
integration mechanism recently assigned
financial funds to this plan.
The project includes five programs and 64
actions, among them the promotion and
distribution of goods and cultural services,
such as scholarships, contests, catalogs,
museums and editorial plans.
Peoples from the regional bloc member
countries and other Latin American and
Caribbean nations, especially social groups
that have so far had no access to those
goods and services, will be benefited with
the ALBA-Culture Grand National Project.
Cuban Culture Minister Abel Prieto reminded
reporters in this capital that it was
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Cuban
Revolution leader Fidel Castro who inked the
document of the ALBA Cultural Fund.
Culture ministers from Cuba, Bolivia,
Nicaragua, Honduras, Dominica, and Saint
Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as
guests, will visit Saturday some Caracas
sites.
They will learn of work carried out by more
than 500 Venezuelan and Cuban art teachers
in the "Corazon Adentro" cultural mission.
Today's agenda includes the Academic Meeting
on the Capitalist Crisis with the forum
"Peoples against consumerism," in the
presence of some 400 Venezuelan thinkers,
and guests from Mexico, Bolivia, Colombia
and the United States.
Prieto spoke Thursday on "Culture and
Revolution," and Venezuelan academic Luis
Brito on "Counterrevolution and Media."
