NEB & Inclusió program

A commitment to diversity and creativity

The NEB & Inclusió program, framed within ESPRONCEDA’s artistic residencies, promotes essential values such as tolerance, respect for cultural diversity, creative collaboration, inclusion, and democracy. Through art and creativity, this program seeks to foster synergies among local, national, and international communities, with a strong commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main objective is to position art and culture as key drivers for addressing social issues, breaking down barriers, and promoting an inclusive and innovative society.
