The creation of cultural projects in the communities is aimed at the different age groups and our people in general. These diversify reaching the most remote places and contribute to safeguarding the manifestations and expressions of the popular culture. Local history is the essential pillar of these projects, as opposed to mercantilist approaches, or others of a different nature, which distort the implementation of the principles of the cultural policy.
The projects have contributed to the cohesion of population sectors within the communities and to identify artistic potentialities and capacities among children, adolescents and young people. They have favored the social insertion of groups with different disabilities, which have benefited from greater recognition and attention from the community.
The participation in the processes of creation has not only favored the approach and
development of skills in the different artistic manifestations, but it has also contributed to the vocational training of the groups with which we have worked, even in trades associated with culture.
