Accessibility for All: One of the central aims of "La Gritaera" is to ensure that cultural activities are accessible to everyone, regardless of age, socioeconomic status, or geographic location. The project engages rural communities that are often marginalized in terms of access to contemporary culture, art, and public events. By bringing artistic experiences directly to local spaces, the project removes physical and financial barriers to participation. Activities are free, ensuring that economic constraints do not prevent residents from engaging with the cultural offerings.
Diverse and Inclusive Participation: The project embraces diversity by inviting people from various backgrounds, including different generations, nationalities, and abilities, to take part in creative processes. By actively engaging with underrepresented groups—such as women, youth, and minority communities—the project provides a safe space for expression and empowerment.Inclusive Governance and Design for All Principles: The project takes an inclusive approach not only in its activities but also in its structure. It encourages the involvement of local stakeholders, including community agents, citizens, and cultural organizations, in the decision-making process. By ensuring that the local community has an active role in the creation and direction of the project, the project aligns with principles of inclusive governance. This participatory model ensures that everyone’s voice is heard and that the project reflects the collective needs and desires of the community.
Exemplary in the context of inclusion: "La Gritaera" can be seen as an exemplary model in the context of inclusion because it goes beyond providing access to cultural events. It fosters an environment of diversity, equity, and anti-racism by emphasizing the importance of collective participation, inclusivity, and equal representation.

In line with the New European Bauhaus principles of sustainability, inclusion, and aesthetics, citizens and civil society played an essential role in the La Gritaera project. Local residents, including individuals from diverse age groups, backgrounds, and abilities, were actively involved through workshops, participatory theater, and community-led cultural events. Their engagement ranged from direct participation in artistic activities to contributing local knowledge, traditions, and stories, which shaped the content and direction of the project.
The project fostered inclusion by actively involving marginalized groups, such as women and seniors, in cultural practices, providing them with new opportunities for social interaction and personal empowerment. These participants helped lead workshops, contributed to the creative process, and performed in public art pieces, thus directly influencing the project’s outcomes.
Civil society’s involvement extended beyond cultural workshops to creating a sense of ownership in the project. Their feedback and collaboration ensured that the activities were culturally relevant, responsive to local needs, and accessible. This collaborative approach not only created a more inclusive and participatory environment but also ensured the sustainability of the project’s impact, as locals took on roles of cultural mediators and facilitators, securing the long-term preservation of their traditions.
The involvement of the community deepened the connection between contemporary culture and rural heritage, which aligns with the New Bauhaus goal of creating a balance between tradition and modernity. The sense of ownership and empowerment achieved through this engagement contributed to increased social cohesion, pride in local heritage, and the creation of a vibrant, sustainable cultural landscape.

In alignment with the New European Bauhaus principles, La Gritaera engaged stakeholders at local, regional, national, and European levels, each contributing unique value to the project’s design and implementation.
Locally, municipalities and community leaders were key partners, shaping the project’s approach to reflect the specific cultural, social, and economic contexts of each town. Their involvement ensured that the project was tailored to the local needs and aspirations of the residents. Local citizens, including marginalized groups, were actively engaged in co-creating cultural experiences, fostering inclusivity and ownership.
Regionally, cultural institutions and organizations provided expertise, logistical support, and connected the project to broader cultural and artistic networks. Their involvement ensured that La Gritaera was aligned with regional cultural policies, helping amplify its impact within a larger framework. This engagement also facilitated resource-sharing and collaboration with other cultural projects in the region.
National and European stakeholders, such as government agencies and cultural bodies, offered funding, strategic guidance, and visibility. Their support provided credibility and access to broader networks, facilitating the exchange of ideas, best practices, and cultural innovation. The European dimension also allowed the project to connect with transnational dialogues on sustainability, inclusion, and cultural heritage, fostering a sense of shared European identity.
The added value of this multi-level engagement lies in the creation of a robust, interconnected ecosystem where local actors are empowered, regional and national frameworks are reinforced, and European values of inclusivity, sustainability, and cultural dialogue are realized. This holistic collaboration ensured that the project addressed both local needs and global challenges, driving long-term cultural and social transformation.

La Gritaera stands out as an innovative project by integrating the principles of the New European Bauhaus—sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusion—into a community-driven, rural cultural context. Unlike mainstream cultural initiatives that often focus on isolated artistic events, this project fosters a deep connection between contemporary culture and local traditions, promoting participatory creation and dialogue between residents and artists.
Its innovative character lies in its emphasis on cultural mediation and co-creation, where citizens from rural municipalities actively engage in the creation of artistic performances, rather than just being passive audiences. This participatory approach empowers local communities, enhances social cohesion, and preserves intangible cultural heritage while making it relevant to modern cultural practices.
The project’s use of public art, visual stage workshops, and the implementation of a sustainable cultural tour, alongside the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), uniquely combines culture, education, and social responsibility. By involving multiple generations and diverse groups, including marginalized communities, it ensures accessibility and inclusivity.
Furthermore, the initiative’s local-to-global impact approach links small rural areas to broader European cultural and sustainability dialogues, elevating regional issues and making them part of larger international conversations on cultural innovation and rural revitalization.
La Gritaera exemplifies the fusion of aesthetic value with social impact, turning rural cultural spaces into dynamic, sustainable hubs that address contemporary challenges in innovative and inclusive ways.
