LA RUMBA INTERCONTINENTAL<\/strong> is an international project that takes the cultural phenomenon of Rumba as a starting point to develop a participatory methodology for intercultural community building. Through three field studies with a unique composition of partner organizations, we actively connect different Rumbero communities in Europe, Africa and America. In this way, we want to jointly explore the cultural peculiarities of this unique art form and their know-how for cultural participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the joint organisation of three festivals with workshops and performances, and one travelling exhibition, we aim to give a tangible boost to both the exploitation of this unique heritage, the stimulation of its contemporary expression, and the connection of this art form with new audiences. We also aim to build a sustainable network of expertise and to develop a unique participatory methodology. This methodology will be useful in the European and global cultural sector to connect individuals and communities with different backgrounds in an inclusive, horizontal and, above all, co-creative way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
