CO-VISION: a project to showcase Europe’s natural heritage through culture

Over the next three years, Eufònic will be part of the “CO-VISION – Mapping Natural Heritage” initiative, a cooperation project funded by the European Commission that aims to co-create and co-produce a cultural content model and a digital artistic archive around environmental challenges in the EU, involving citizens, artists and local entities through a participatory cultural strategy.

The project wants to detect, draw and expose the current state of health of Europe’s natural heritage with the aim of stimulating deep awareness of the climate crisis, encouraging sustainable behavior and ensuring that part of the natural heritage at risk is preserved for future memory, values that from the festival we share and value in each edition of Eufònic.

This first day will be held next Wednesday, July 10, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the headquarters in La Ràpita of IRTA (Institute of Research and Technology for Agro-Food Technology) and will be free and open to the public (with prior registration).

The intention is to open a space for exchange between scientists, local artists and residents of the Delta, through conversations and debates that put the natural heritage and climate change in the Ebro Delta at the center of the conversation, encouraging the dialogue and collaboration within our community in order to be part of a necessary change. So all those people between 14 and 60 who want to make a difference, you are invited.

CO-VISION – Mapping Natural Heritage is a project between eight European festivals: Videocittà (Italy), Transilvania Trust (Romania), KIKK (Belgium), LAB852 (Croatia), Athens Digital Arts Festival (Greece), Rencontres Audiovisuelles (France), Signal (Czech Republic) and Eufònic; together with four technical partners: IED (Italy), The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway), South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences | Creative Industries Research Unit, Kouvola (Finland) y Mapa das ideais (Portugal). A total of twelve professional cultural actors from eleven European countries joined together to map Europe’s natural heritage.
