Technical Information
The Cultural Information System (SIC) deals with the survey, systematization of data, indicators and other technical information related to the cultural sector in Uruguay. The SIC plays an important role in the follow-up and monitoring of the cultural policies implemented by the National Directorate of Culture, as well as in promoting studies and research on the national cultural reality.
Uruguay ratified the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, Paris, October 20, 2005, in 2007.Within the framework of this Convention, the National Cultural Directorate-Ministry of Education and Culture, has elaborated this periodic report, which assesses the 2015-2019 period.
In the last four years, Uruguay has developed various initiatives and several measures have been taken that aim at protecting and promoting the diversity of cultural expressions. Some of the measures adopted by Uruguay, to promote cultural expressions are: contribute and develop initiatives that promote cultural exchange between national artists and international contexts and vice versa, also there were described some measures regarding the safeguard of cultural expressions, innovating, in relation to the las report, in the aspects of digital, media and audiovisual cultural development, integration of culture in sustainable development and the promotion of international cooperation for development in culture, an aspect in which Uruguay is very interested in continuing to deepen.
The future nevertheless holds some important challenges. The creation of new cultural jobs and the improvement of creativity and innovation that lead to a more robust digital economy for the country are two examples of this challenges. It is in this sense that the preparation of this report was of great importance because it constitutes a form of expression of the importance of culture for society and the economy at the national level.
