Territorio Mud\u00e9jar participates in the leading forums on heritage and innovation, including the online seminar entitled \u201cEl patrimonio cultural como recurso sostenible en la Espa\u00f1a vaciada\u201d (Cultural heritage as a sustainable resource in empty Spain), sponsored by the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports. We not only attended, in this case, but also stood out as a role model of good practices.<\/p>\n

At this meeting, coordinated by the Cultural Heritage Institute of Spain (IPCE) and held on October 5 and 6, the lecturers included full professors of the art history department at University of Zaragoza Ascensi\u00f3n Hern\u00e1ndez Mart\u00ednez and Mar\u00eda Pilar Biel Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez,\u00a0<\/strong>who gave a conference entitled \u201cLa cultura y el patrimonio como recurso: la lucha de Arag\u00f3n contra la despoblaci\u00f3n\u201d (Culture and heritage as a resource: Aragon\u2019s fight against depopulation).<\/p>\n

In line with the theme of the seminar, they discussed how this demographic challenge requires coming up with strategies to encourage people to stay in places with difficulties and studying measures that generate social benefits for the residents, attract visitors and possible new residents, and turn heritage into a driver of the economy, tourism and employment and, above all, to uphold a cultural identity.<\/p>\n

In this regard, they explained how we, at Territorio Mud\u00e9jar, strive to consolidate a unified, collaborative management network for the use of historical and artistic resources linked to important Mudejar heritage in our towns. And also how we see these resources as a driving force in the development of the towns and as emblems of identity for upholding the communities existing in our region.<\/p>\n

They further highlighted that our entity ensures that the projects directly affect the region through\u00a0responsible and sustainable management of Mudejar cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Experts from the IPCE, the University of Seville\u2019s Industrial Heritage Laboratory, the Santa Mar\u00eda la Real and DeClausura Foundations, the Polytechnic University of Madrid School of Architecture, and Asociaci\u00f3n Amigos de los Castillos, to name a few, also participated in the seminar. They discussed the issue of desertion of rural areas and the ensuing consequences for heritage, including the loss of traditional architecture and monuments, movable assets, habits and intangible customs.<\/p>\n

They also assessed good practices such as reputable cultural routes, famous restoration projects, preserved monuments, foundations whose efforts have had excellent outcomes and models such as that of Territorio Mud\u00e9jar.<\/p>\n\n
