Resumo: The cultural association Imágenes y Palabras, in permanent search of cultural activity and diversity in the rural areas of northern Spain, uses cultural action as a method and a tool to fight against depopulation of small villages. The association has been active in the region, in the field of arts and culture, over the past 20 years. For the coming year we launch the following project:

A PILOT EXPERIENCE FOR THE CREATION OF A CREATIVE RURAL BRIGADE OF INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS IN DEFENSE OF DEPOPULATED AREAS IN NORTHERN SPAIN..
The main objective of this project is to embed ecological themes in cultural rural development through artistic and creative proposals.
This years experience will be an advance of a bigger project to be effective in 2022, though depending on the situation of the pandemic, when a team of international volunteers will interact with local rural society and participate in already existing activities and innovate new initiatives, related with ecological development in a rural context, centred in group creation and contemporary art.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
ready and willing to live in rural areas, creative mind, with enthusiasm to work fysically, to live and create collectively

willing to work in small villages in Spanish mountains, with interest in rural development and artistic creation, in a broad meaning of the word, and ready to live closely together with coordinators of the project and other visitors.

Tarefas: In this project volunteers will work directly with Imágenes y Palabras and together with befriended associations and initiatives in surrounding villages. The daily work in and around El Hacedor, the base of the association, consists of maintainance of the arts gallery and art works, the workshops and its direct environment, including the organization of exhibitions (both inside the gallery and in the open air) and, where needed, assistance of artists in residence and other digital nomads (i.e. people working temporarily in a different context), maintenance of the vegetable garden, planting of aromatics, caring of animals (donkeys and bees) and general conservation of infrastructures.

In the other villages volunteers will participate in the ongoing activities proposed by the different associations. The time they will spend there depends on availability of people and planning of activities but will be aproximately 2 days a week.
During freetime we introduce volunteers to places normal tourists wouldn’t find so easily: small enterprises of the region, geographical jewels and amazing, hidden corners. We actively impulse a permanent dialogue between volunteers and habitants from the region.

Volunteers will have time to develop their personal project. Youngsters with an interest for artistic creation and/or ecological (rural) development will find loads of opportunities to elaborate their own project. Artistic creations will be part of, and will increase, the collection of artworks of Imágenes y Palabras.
We wish to organize this activity with the help of international volunteers of the European Solidarity Corps to enrich the experience on a cultural, artistical and linguistical level. The volunteers will work, next to the coordinators, in all phases of theorganization of the different tasks and will have the opportunity to get a close view on the way different organizations act in a rural context.

Volunteers work and live in the hostel of Imágenes y Palabras, based in a small hamlet in the North of the province of Burgos (Spain). The silence of the village and the huge, empty surroundings make coexistence during daily life a very intense experience.

Independently of what volunteers learn during work on a practical level, the experience is social and human, is of respect and confidence, appreciation and values.
We hope, both volunteers in this project and students, artists in residence, visitors of El Hacedor and habitants of the villages, with this initiative will understand a little bit better the meaning and the significance of the word inter-cultural.
