    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will be able to experience the social work that involves introducing new dynamics, knowledge and ideas to a population outside the urban context. This is an experiment in decentralization of culture, taking the urban scene and bringing it to be adapted to a rural context. will it be a challenge? yes, will it succeed? We don't know yet, but we are willing to take the risk.

    Serás capaz de experimentar el trabajo social que implica introducir nuevas dinámicas, conocimientos e ideas a una población ajena a las dinámicas urbanas. Este es un experimento de descentralización de la cultura, tomar la escena urbana y llevarla para ser adaptada a un contexto rural.
