At a crucial moment for rethinking cultural action beyond major urban centers, the Banco Santander Foundation commissioned Interfaz to conduct a strategic study on the rural cultural ecosystem in Cantabria. The report maps the urgent needs, stakeholders, and opportunities in a region where over 90% of municipalities are considered rural, yet still lack a coherent cultural policy tailored to their specific circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Commissioned by the Banco Santander Foundation, and between October 2023 and March 2024, Interfaz, together with Alejandro Alonso, conducted a study on the cultural and rural ecosystem in Cantabria. The objective: to lay the groundwork for a situated cultural intervention, based on existing resources and the agents already working in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study analyzes the context, identifies priority areas (such as municipalities at risk of depopulation) and proposes lines of work that combine institutional support, support for local agents and the construction of new rural imaginaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The work is based on territorial analysis, interviews, field visits, and a review of relevant experiences. It includes a map of active initiatives by region and type, profiles of stakeholders, key themes, and recommendations for a future support program from the Foundation, based on criteria of sustainability, local roots, and community engagement. The study also includes a series of recommendations for a potential support program from the Banco Santander Foundation, aligned with the launch of its new cultural center, Faro Santander.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":230,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categoria-proyectos":[2],"class_list":["post-179","proyecto","type-proyecto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-proyectos-consultoria"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
