Last Tuesday, May 7th, and Wednesday, May 8th, the State Secretariat for Culture and Creative Economy (Secult) was present at the training workshop of the Aldir Blanc National Plan for the Promotion of Culture (PNAB), held at the Alagoas Municipalities Association (AMA). The event, which brought together municipal managers and culture makers from across the state, focused on the planning, monitoring and execution of the Aldir Blanc 2 Law.

In the second lecture, the general coordinator of Interfederative Transfers of the Ministry of Culture (MinC), Marco Henrique Borges, clarified doubts about the preparation of planning for the application of the resources of the Aldir Blanc 2 Law.

The importance of monitoring the actions developed by municipalities was highlighted as a crucial step for the success of the PNAB. During the event, cultural technicians and culture makers discussed strategies for monitoring and analyzing cultural projects, aiming to ensure transparency in the resource application process.

According to the superintendent of Creative Economy, Promotion and Incentive to Culture, Natália Teles, this moment was essential to resolve doubts and enable good planning in the application of resources. The training promoted by AMA instructed cultural agents in the process of responsible execution of the resources of the Aldir Blanc 2 Law, highlighting the benefits that cultural initiatives can generate for the community, such as socioeconomic and cultural development.

The Secretary of Culture of Penedo, Teresa Machado, highlighted the importance of training for municipal managers, highlighting the guidance provided on planning and preparation to meet the deadline for sending documentation and executing PNAB resources by the end of 2024.
