IFACCA appoints Latin American Coordinator
We are delighted to welcome Santiago Jara Ramirez to the IFACCA team as our Latin American coordinator. Santiago's appointment, which has been made possible through a partnership with the Ministry of Culture of Colombia, is part-time and will be reviewed early next year. Santiago will be working to raise awareness of IFACCA in Latin America, assist IFACCA in building relationships with members and potential members in the region, expand the Spanish-language resources offered by IFACCA and encourage information exchange between IFACCA's international and Latin American communities. His role will involve making contact with cultural policymakers and researchers across Latin America and helping IFACCA develop networks, projects and events in the region. Santiago has worked in a variety of positions for public cultural agencies in Colombia. He has undertaken research work for the Colombian Observatory of Cultural Policies, and for the District Institute for Culture and Tourism (Bogotá), and has edited reports for a number of projects including the Latin American Conference on Artistic Education, held in Colombia in November 2005. Santiago is currently studying toward a Masters in Political Philosophy at the Universidad de los Andes, Colombia.
