The AFLORA Project Provides Advisory Services and Training in Indigenous Villages in Mato Grosso do Sul

In the morning, a technical assistance session was held in the village of Alves de Barros, providing support to a group of Indigenous women. The initiative aimed to provide guidance and assistance with the registration processes for the Mapa da Cultura, the Prosas Platform registry, and participation in calls for proposals under the Aldir Blanc Law, thereby expanding opportunities for access to cultural resources and incentives.

In the afternoon, in the village of Campina, a workshop on associations and cooperatives was held for a community dance group interested in establishing a legal entity. The activity covered basic concepts of collective organization, the differences between an association and a cooperative, and the importance of formalization for cultural development and the sustainability of local initiatives.

These initiatives are part of a strategy to strengthen the autonomy of indigenous communities by promoting information, training, and access to cultural policies, while respecting the contexts and traditional knowledge of each territory.
