Cáceres 2031 launches the First Transcultura Transforming Circle, a pioneering space for action learning and collective co-creation that places culture as a driver of transformative innovation and territorial development. The first meeting will take place on February 10, starting at 10 a.m., at the headquarters of the Mercedes Calles and Carlos Ballestero Foundation.
This Transforming Circle is designed for the participation of any person with the will to transform their environment (cultural, community, business, institutional…) from the capabilities offered by culture.
The meeting will serve to present the framework of the Transcultura project, an initiative that proposes new ways of producing the future from culture, through collaborative processes between citizens, cultural agents and professionals from different fields. The day will also include experimentation with a co-creation prototype designed by Impact Hub, an international benchmark in social innovation.
The Transforming Circles are “peer-to-peer” work spaces in which, in a practical way and with real projects, frameworks of thought and methodologies are trained to reimagine the possible and generate real conditions to make that future attainable. From a logic close to the cultural producer, these circles integrate different capitals -human, social, cultural, technological, natural and financial- to activate processes of sustainable transformation.
At the end of this first Transforming Circle, participants will have identified the key role of culture in project-based innovation and experienced new forms of cultural initiative that empower citizens and strengthen the cultural ecosystem of the territory.
The day will start at 10:00 am with the presentation of the Transcultura framework and an open call for co-creation, by Iris Jugo, general coordinator of the Cáceres 2031 Consortium. Throughout the morning there will be collective work sessions focused on transcultural projects and transformative social and cultural ecologies, concluding with a sharing and definition of the next steps.
