Camagüey, 13 May. - About thirty proposals from almost all of Cuba are aspiring to the awards of the XXVI National Competition Community Cultural Initiatives 2024, scheduled from 14 to 16 May in this city.
For Camagüey will be the ReforestArt project with bamboo, by Heriberto Medina and the Botanical Park; and Casa Madiba, by the entrepreneur Amaury Vázquez, because for the first time they admit new models of economic management.
"It is the most important event in community work that makes the Center of Exchange and Reference Community Initiative (Cieric) every two years. There will be 50 participants, except from Mayabeque and Isla de la Juventud," Luisa María Ferrá Gómez, a specialist here at Cieric, told the press.
According to the foundations, these initiatives should promote the empowerment of women and/or youth; contribute from culture to strategic lines of development of territories; as well as sustainability and innovation in social, economic and environmental management models.
In the new contexts in Cuba, this type of initiative is a strength because it preserves local identity, promotes cultural development, understands culture in the broadest sense and revives that entire socio-cultural life. Many rescue practices forgotten by man or by realities, and do so from their human and economic resources, explained Ferrá Gómez to Adelante Digital.
The Experience Exchange Workshop associated with this event will be held at the Café Literario La Comarca, where a jury from Camagüey will play the role of counterpart, the specialist insisted.
