Culture. National Art and Culture Program Launched from the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua
As part of the actions of the National Education Strategy, the Educational System made up of the Mined, Inatec and CNU carried out the launch of the National Art and Culture Program from the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua.

Through art, human beings can express themselves and through this emblematic education program at all levels, young people and adults have more opportunities.

Tamara Martínez, head of the Mined's Art and Culture Department, explained that the program seeks to have more humane people with the ability to communicate assertively through art.

“Today we are launching the National Art and Culture Program of our National Educational System and we feel very happy, very joyful that the entire system can present today a comprehensive program, a program that is tied to the context, to the worldview of our Nicaraguan people,” explained Martínez on behalf of the Mined.

“It is a program that contributes significantly to the comprehensive development of women, girls, boys, and adolescents in the educational community in general. More than a launch, the program itself collects that valuable element or that important part of art, which is the comprehensive development of girls and boys through artistic creations,” she added.

Likewise, Zoa Mesa, a teacher at the José Coronel Urtecho Polytechnic Center, said that through art, human beings can express themselves and through this emblematic program of education at all levels, young people and adults have more opportunities.

“Our identity is art and the Revolution has allowed us at different times to fight for it and for it to become our standard, because a people without roots is lost and I believe that the struggle of our Revolution, mainly in this new stage, is for our roots to be strengthened, deeper and for us to know our identity,” she commented.

Finally, Luz Elena Cano, cultural promoter of the Casimiro Sotelo National University, added that “it is a joint effort with the areas of knowledge supporting students to learn about our cultures, our traditions. The Department of Art and Culture organizes events in which we make known all these types of traditions that our students need to know in order to have our institutional identity and national identity. We also organize university meetings and festivals where we share with students from indigenous communities.”
