The Head of Design at the Ministry of Culture of Jalisco is the only public entity in Mexico working toward establishing public policy for design. The department has introduced design concepts such as prototyping and iteration in the Government through the design of open calls, funds, and exhibition. They have pioneered platforms such as Plataforma Activa de Dise\u00f1o, or Pad Jalisco, (trad. Active Platform for Design) a space for design projects involving subjects that are connected to Government goals, including climate change, social equality and gender perspective. Through Plataforma Activa de Dise\u00f1o, designers can receive funds and mentorship from other parts of the Government in order to improve their projects and introduce design in other public sectors.<\/p>\n
In addition to briefly discussing their most important projects, Kassim Vera, the Head of Design, and Sof\u00eda Delsordo, the department’s Programme Leader, will talk about the main challenges in developing public policy for designers from a highly complex environment and share their experience navigating bureaucracy, legislation, and social vision of the role of the Government in the development of arts and creative economies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
