Territorio Mudéjar is once again taking part in the Desafío Programme, popularly known as “rural Erasmus”, and this summer we will once again be hosting students on work experience in our villages.

The students will live in Tobed, Velilla de Ebro and Castejón de Valdejasa thanks to this programme promoted by the DPZ Chair on Depopulation and Creativity, financed by the Diputación de Zaragoza and managed through Universa, the Orientation and Employment Service of the University of Zaragoza.

The initiative is in line with Territorio Mudéjar’s objective of promoting curricular or training internships and professionalising profiles linked to heritage in order to boost employment in rural areas, attract professionals and develop projects that lead to investment in our villages.

In the same way, this summer we will also train students thanks to the European university project UNITA-universitas montium. This initiative is being developed together with the universities of Turin (Italy), which acts as coordinator, Pau and Savoy Montblanc in France, West Timisoara in Romania and Beira Interior in Portugal.

All of them, during their scholarship, will be trained in the methodology of cultural heritage management projects with professionals from different disciplines. In addition, they were immersed in the different models of accessibility to the monuments in the towns of Territorio Mudéjar, among other issues.
