CCS Casino. It is the conversion of a 10-story building on Urdaneta Avenue in La Candelaria (CCS), by the Libertador Mayor's Office, into a comprehensive training center for the arts and the development of a sustainable cultural economy through self-management. Uses are planned such as café concert, sports practice, gastronomic school, yoga and urban dance classes, recording studio, hostel for international guests and for artistic residences.

How to rationally explain that you have to become a foreigner to come to your country? Is it impossible to solve this at this time? Does anyone care?
A bit of everything
With the uncertainties and challenges that the year 2020 presents, it is propitious to exhort to rethink and evaluate, to strengthen some attitudes and adjust others. The country will travel a “mined” path and ethics, efficiency, effectiveness, solidarity and planning are an essential part of the aspects that must be assumed with decision and mystique.
