Décrivez les principales caractéristiques de la mesure/initiative:
The Performing Arts Platform (PAA) is an instance that brings together trade unions and relevant and representative groups of the sector. Its purpose is to promote and disseminate the social legitimation of the performing arts in the labor, educational, symbolic and patrimonial spheres, highlighting the importance of the performing arts in the development of the country's cultural policies. In addition, it seeks the ordering and regulation of the sector in different areas: Training, financing, subsidies, promotion, and patrimonial protection. Labor protection and compliance with the regulations that govern artists and workers in the sector are also into account . One of the most important achievements of this organization has been the establishment of a technical working table with the former National Council of Culture and the Arts - CNCA (today, MINCAP) to draft a draft law on Performing Arts. At the time (year, 2014), the work of the technical table started with the delivery of a first draft of the Draft Sector Law of Performing Arts that was prepared by the legal advisory of the Actors Union of Chile (SIDARTE). To date, given the good results of the roundtable, work has continued with the Platform on other topics of interest to the sector.
