Creative Rural Lab - Purchena
AYUNTAMIENTO DE PURCHENA
Purchena, Spania
Descriere
Purchena Creative Rural Hub is a 7-month European Solidarity Corps project based in the small Andalusian town of Purchena, in southern Spain. The initiative connects creativity, culture and community life through the active participation of four young Europeans. Volunteers will collaborate with the local library, youth centre, schools, associations and cultural spaces to design and implement workshops, artistic projects, digital and intercultural activities that foster participation, sustainability and inclusion. By mixing creativity, digital skills and non-formal learning, the project aims to bring new energy to rural life and connect people through culture. Volunteers will use art, communication and innovation to make local life more dynamic and inclusive, while living a real intercultural adventure — sharing ideas, working as a team and growing personally and professionally in the beauty of southern Spain.
