Future Projects

The relations between culture and nature is "by nature" systemic, global, inter-connected, and multidimensional.  That´s why EcoCultures works from an interdisciplinary approach, seeking to develop a series of programs and centers interrelated among themselves (threaded with methods of EcoCultural Management), such as:

· Program of Urban EcoCultural Stewardship Networks and Chains.  Starting with a “community adoption” Project: “Urban network of preservation of trational fountains of health, culture, and nature (in Madrid).

· A European Ecocultural Research and Development Center, to stablish ecocultural networks and chains for a European sustainable development.  

· Sustainable Health Programs, promoting health based on the integration between society and its enviroment through traditional and popular health customs;

· Centers of Ecological Traditions, of sustainable development and cultural promotion through the reimplementation of ethnological traditions with environmental value;
- Ecocultural Educational Programs, to train on forms of integration between bio- and socio-diversity;

· EcoCultural Parks, public and private spaces for reforesting with local species of ancestral use;

· Sustainable Inter—empreneurism Programs, to create space for the development of new micro-business and self-employment based on own cultural and natural resources;

· InterCultural Center, place of promotion of cultural and ethnic integration, intercultural conflict solving, and international cooperation on local ecocultural resources;
-Ecocultural Development Centers.

· - EcoCultural Centers.  Integral space for interdisciplinary coordination and local development based on the revaluating of community techniques and conceptions promoting the environment. 

And there are more present and future projects!  Joint us, we need volunteers.
