Learning through experience

Invernadero Cultural is entering a new stage, but the experience behind the organisation has been growing for many years.

Our journey combines European volunteering, international cooperation, mentoring, cultural projects and community-based activities developed in different countries and contexts.

Each of these experiences has helped shape the way we work today.

Invernadero Cultural projects

Music, rural territory and encounter

NUFOLK brought live music and cultural experiences to rural communities in Navarra, creating opportunities for artists and local audiences to meet in places outside the usual cultural circuits.

Concert "Dúo Dídyma"

Celtic sounds, music to dance and jump... Dúo Dydima will invite us to enojoy the Irish vibes in a concert that will transform our Inn into a typical Irish pub. This group of two young and talented women, Ohiane (violin) and Cecilia (cello), perform from Scottish, Gaelic melodies, to compositions from the old masters to the 21st century. A new and different concert in the village of Oitz, a show that can transport the listener to medieval times, to the magical forests of Ireland and to the tenderness of traditional dances.

This time, in Posada de Oitz will play one of the actual country musician. Matt Horan is an american singer and composer of country music who will perform in a different place as usual, in a small village. We will try to bring different music for the locals.

Experience behind Invernadero Cultural

International cultural cooperation

European volunteering & mentoring

European youth cooperation

Later, while developing their own initiatives in Ukraine, they coordinated the preparation of a European youth exchange involving organisations from five countries.

The project received European funding but could not ultimately take place because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even though the exchange itself was cancelled, the process provided valuable experience in international partnership building, project design and European youth cooperation.

Before creating Invernadero Cultural, its founders participated in the former European Voluntary Service, first as volunteers themselves and later supporting international volunteers in a cultural organisation in Poland.

This experience included mentoring volunteers, supporting their integration and learning process, and working daily in an international and intercultural environment.

During their years in Poland, the founders of Invernadero Cultural were involved in cultural activities and in the organisation of an international theatre festival, working alongside people and organisations from different countries.

These experiences showed us how cultural projects can become spaces for intercultural learning, participation and lasting relationships.

What comes next

We are now bringing these different experiences together to build the next stage of Invernadero Cultural in rural Navarra.

Our next projects will grow around our three strategic areas: youth and European mobility, culture and heritage, and European cooperation, always starting from the people and communities involved.

Some projects belong to our past.
The learning they gave us belongs to our future.
