City—The National Commission for Culture and
the Arts (NCCA) is inviting interested individuals to the Cultural Mapping Facilitators
Training on April 16-20, 2018 at the Silid Darangen of the NCCA Building.
Republic Act 10066 or the
National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, through the appropriate cultural
agencies and local government units (LGUs), tasks NCCA to establish and
maintain the Philippine Registry of Cultural Properties (PRECUP).
The law specifically mandates
local government units to maintain an inventory of cultural property under its
jurisdiction and to furnish the NCCA a copy of its local inventory.
To help the LGU identify and
account its cultural properties, the NCCA established the Technical Assistance
for Cultural Mapping to support them in this endeavor.
To increase the number of
facilitators equipped to conduct cultural mapping training in different LGUs,
the NCCA is calling on interested educators and/or cultural workers to attend
and participate in the 2018 Cultural Mapping Facilitators Training on April
16-20, 2018 at the Silid Darangen of the NCCA Building.
There are 20 slots available
for application.
Cultural mapping is a
multi-disciplinary field. It requires stock knowledge on many related areas of
research, including social artistry, cultural and art studies, architecture and
urban design, geography, sociology, cultural policy and planning, and the
social sciences.
Applicants must meet the
following: background on cultural heritage; at least 5 years of
experience in cultural work; workshop/seminar/training
facilitation skills;
language (written and spoken) fluency in
Filipino, English and preferably regional language
Employed applicants should
seek endorsement from the head of their organization allowing them to engage in
cultural mapping activities undertaken by the NCCA.
They also need to accomplish
the application form and submit curriculum vitae.
