The purpose of the workshop is to strengthen capacities and exchange experiences for Central American and Caribbean member countries of the OJCA by adding a human rights and sustainable development focus, through the transmission and exchange of knowledge and successful experiences in management, production and education for sustainable development (EDS) and creative economy, themes that emerged from the post-2015 agenda.

The speakers are experts with experience in different areas, such as the design and management of musical institutions with a human rights focus and the creative economy or “orange economy”, from diverse institutions, including UNESCO and the Interamerican Development Bank.
The workshop will include theoretical-practical sessions with concrete examples and exchanges of experiences and best practices in management of youth orchestras with musicians from other countries, in addition to two OJCA concerts.
