The following are some activities organized by EcoCultures during this last year:

Your Culture Cultures you, Culture your Culture is a Campaign with research and forums to revaluate that own local traditional and popular culture which cares for our environment, and to use it for a sustainable economy.  This year, it centers on Santander (Spain), a green city enbedded between the montains, the bay, and the ocean.

Healthy Mind in Healthy Environment, a parallel Campaing in Santander which concentrates on the benefits of taking the most advantage of our own cultural knowledge, for the mutual enrichment of society and environment, and for our health and quality of life.

The Applied Eco-Cultural Research Summer Camps are carried out in Lamasón Valley, a beutiful place between the high spectacular Picos de Europa mountains and the Atlantic coast.  The formative experience do enviromental work and research on those different aspects of the traditional culture with potentials for sustainable development.

Campaing for a Responsable and Ecological Comerce, in which leaflets with ecological tips when buying and mailbox stickers to avoid unnecesary publicity were delivered in Madrid

Future Projects

The relations between culture and nature is "by nature" global 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):

- Sustainable Health Program, promoting health based on the integration between society and its enviroment through traditional and popular health customs;
- Center 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 Self-Employment 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 Centers.  Integral space for interdisciplinary coordination and local development based on the revaluating of community techniques and conceptions promoting the environment.
