MiCultura Unites with the World Day of People with Down Syndrome

The Ministry of Culture (MiCultura) joins the World Day of People with Down Syndrome by presenting the event "The art as a tool for social inclusion of people with Down Syndrome," involving young professionals with this condition who have triumphed in different arts disciplines such as dance, plastic arts and photography.

Yaritzel Morales (dancer), Ana Raquel García (plastic artist) and Ximena Varela (photo) explain to us through our YouTube channel how they have benefitted from each of their passions with the support of their family and friends and especially from people who accept them and praise them each of their jobs.

Through its Social Equity Office, MiCultura undertook other activities, including a "day of disparate means," with the aim of calling to people from the cultural entity how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities, their contributions, their daily achievements and their integration into society.

According to Jorge Morales, director of Equal Opportunities of the Cultural entity, we have been wanting to miss this day, that will be held tomorrow every March 21, since 2011, and we have been united with the campaign that has been launched by the National Government, through the National Secretary of Disability (SENADIS) with the hashtag # Counting To Be Reunited To All.

That's an opportunity to raise public awareness and to be aware of this condition to understand that people with Down Syndrome, if given an opportunity, can achieve anything they propose, it's important that we promote this day using "half-clear" as visual representation of what this condition means, added Morales.

Part of our goal is inclusive culture and within the community of people with Down Syndrome, there are many expressed through art, sculpture, painting and other disciplines more so that the idea is that we can all get focused with everyone else through culture, as citizens we have to come together not only this day, but always to continue to work for a more inclusive society and demand a shift of perspective from society to people with Down syndrome, stated Gabriel González, deputy Minister of Culture.

In December 2011, the General Assembly of the United Nations appointed 21 March as the World Down Syndrome Day with the aim of generating an increased public awareness about the issue and recalling the inherent dignity, worth and valuable contributions of persons with intellectual disabilities as proponents of their communities's well-being and diversity.

He also wished to highlight the importance of his autonomy and individual independence, particularly his freedom to make his own decisions.

Origin of the syndrome

Down Syndrome is a genetic variation of humans by which a person has 47 chromosomes on his or her chromosomal map rather than 46. It was found in 1959 and his or her name was his or her name after Dr. John Langdon Down, who knew a genetic impairment of his or her chromosomal pair 21 and found that an extra copy of his or her chromosomics existed as a result of his or her condition called Thrisomics 21.

The disorder affects people throughout the world widely, regardless of race, sex, age, religion and social status.
