Description
Summary:The article aims to develop a study on the social, economic and demographic impacts of cultural activities in rural Spain, based on a selection of significant cultural initiatives and projects. Specifically, it seeks to explore not only the role of culture as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and its influence on demographic trends but also to examine whether it plays a crucial part in enhancing self-esteem, social cohesion and quality of life in rural areas. To this end, we will analyse twenty cultural projects across Spain. To study the impact of these projects, a survey has been conducted among three different groups: the project promoters; relevant agents in the local community due to their professional activity or political position; and, finally, the local population potentially affected by the projects.
