During the second half of the year, the Ministry of Culture has launched the Programas de Formación a Formadores 2022, which seek to qualify musicians, teachers, teachers and directors linked to music schools, artists, luthiers, performers, researchers and managers of the country to contribute to the structuring of the professional field of music and the musicalization of citizenship.
This training proposal is in line with the Plan Nacional de Música para la Convivencia, of the Ministerio de Cultura, whose objectives are to promote the strengthening and consolidation of municipal music schools, as well as other practices focused on this art. Training in the territories is carried out by four institutions: the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, the Universidad Icesi, the Universidad Sergio Arboleda and the laboratorio de conocimiento, Ucronio.
