On Tuesday 28 April 2026, the Ministry of Culture of the Government of Mexico, through the Directorate-General for Cultural Training and Management, recognised the projects selected under the “Cultiva México. Database of good practices in cultural and artistic management”, which seeks to identify and recognise good practices in cultural and artistic management that generate a common good, have a positive impact on their environment and promote diversity and cultural rights.
The call for proposals, which was supported by the UCLG Culture Committee, identified collective initiatives that promote a positive impact on their local communities, with a view to incorporating them into Mexico’s first Database of Good Practices in Cultural and Artistic Management. Mexico’s Database of Good Practices in Cultural and Artistic Management includes initiatives that focus on creating spaces for music, reading, the performing arts, community organisation processes, processes associated with intergenerational learning, and the recovery of community memory.
With the aim of creating an International System of Databases of Good Practices, Cultiva México will also support initiatives recognised by IDARTES’ Ibero-American Database of Good Practices and by the “OBS” Database of Good Practices of the UCLG Culture Committee, promoting their sustainability, professionalisation, technical management and exchange of knowledge to broaden their impact.
