Digital tools for networking













We were sharing our knowledge about digital tools for networking.
It was in the "Course of university expert in Cultural Mangement" of the USC _Universidade de Santiago de Compostela.
We already gave this workshop in the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, so we have updated and improved it.

The contents we address are:

_ Basic operation on some digital tools.
_ Guidelines for forming and articulating a working group.
_ Methodologies of online and offline meetings.
_ Guidelines for decision-making.
_ Group crisis management.

In this document you can see the minutes of the class that was taken jointly between students and teachers.

On October 29, we will do this workshop again in A Coruña, within the activities of CoruñaDixital. It is free and some places are open.

Node of Galician initiatives #decrece2016
















The node of Galician initiatives is an activity framed within the Encuentro Transición Decrecimiento 2016 that will be celebrate in Betanzos during the days 29, 30 and 31 of October.
All the info and registrations at https://transiciondecrecimiento2016.wordpress.com/

This node or workgroup
intends to group people of Galician initiatives related to the transition and to the decrease in the broadest sense. The objectives are: to know and place each other. To share knowledge and experiences, problems and solutions, failures and sucesses. And to strengthen and to hatch networks of initiatives.

The dynamics that we want to implement are:
1) Presentation and mapping of local initiatives.
 Each participant will present itself (sucesses and failures) and will be mapped saying  "what he knows how to do /what he wants to learn".
2) Problems and solutions. Dynamic in that we will play to find problems or  common
concerns and possible solutions.
3) To activate
a possible time bank, possible collaborations and network projects. To activate calendars for winter activities.
4)
Presentation of results to the rest of the meeting participants. (10 minutes)
We have to ride between all!

Confirm your attendance and bring things.


RuralC at the II Encuentro Cultura y Ciudadanía

During the days 13 and 14 of October 2016 we were in the II Encuentro Cultura Ciudadanía


























In 2016 the the Meeting focuses on a polyhedral reality, with multiple semantic drifts: the TERRITORY. This necessarily includes the sphere of the local, but it also implies a relational dimension that emphasizes the exchanges, negotiations, intersections and flows that occur or strike in a given cultural space. Beyond the city or municipality, culture is also expressed through spaces of encounter and fabrics of relationships that surpass and transcend the strictly local. Peers as center-periphery, global-local or urban-rural reject any absolute or antagonistic character, and appear rather as ambiguous and polysemic realities, in constant redefinition, based not so much on defining attributes as on relations and processes. Territory is also a flexible reality in spatial and symbolic terms, which can be expanded or contracted according to specific moments, circumstances and interests. 

The meeting was articulated as a dynamic forum with presentations and interventions of 10/15 minutes of about 200 projects. Also themed tables and performances. Our presentation was inside the table Rural Urban Dialogues, Global Local, moderated by Fernando Bayona.We told the origins of the RuralC association and some of the projects we have development, contributing our vision of how we think culture could help to face the challenges that are presented to the rural. 
Here we leave the slide of our presentation:



We also leave you some of the notes, tweets and projects presented:

Carles presented us Les Falles Populars i Combatives, a proposal for an open and self-organized party born in 2002, the result of the combined work of various groups of the city of Valencia. They have been consolidated as a space in which to recover the popular spirit of the fallas, giving life to the squares, the solar (through the Xunta Solar Fallera) and the networks. During his presentation he reminded us how National Catholicism instrumented these popular festivals of a critical nature, such as the left and the libertarian movements reneged during decades of this party that belonged to them, and how gradually the self-management of the feast is recovered from the communities and outside of institutions and multinationals.


Alberto presented us El recetario a platform that freely shares documentation and manuals on constructive solutions for Habitat from Waste (Hábitat a partir de Residuos).

Fernando presented us the Festival de Video Creative Commons, A festival that has been replicated by different cities, and that you can also copy It began with the Creative Commons licenses and has become a space for dialogue, knowledge and defense of Free Culture and audiovisual as a tool for criticism and transformation of our environment.


María Lobo and Roi presented us Rec Think. A web-doc with young people from rural areas in process of depopulation in four European countries. It seeks to involve them in a process to re-think and redefine their role in the future of these localities. Participatory video is the methodology used.
They release the code of all their methodology, offering Guides on the implementation of innovative strategies that promote the participation of young people in rural environments, on Participatory Video or on the promotion of transversal competences in rural environments.

We leave you a video of this project, which reflects the number of problems we face from the rural:
