  • The program, which seeks to revitalize the culture in these territories, will develop more than a thousand activities in 174 municipalities in 15 provinces.
  • The program of the seven months of the past editions is extended to a total of 10 months of music, theater and dance activities.

The Institute for the Just Transition (ITJ) and the City of Energy Foundation (CIUDEN), both dependent on the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO), will launch the third edition of the Dinamiz-ARTj program from September 1, with a total of 139 actions in 26 municipalities of just transition in the Principality of Asturias.

At the national level, there will be 1,095 actions, which will reach 174 municipalities of the Fair Transition Zones, which are located in 15 Spanish provinces (A Coruña, Álava, Almería, Asturias, Burgos, Cádiz, Córdoba, Cuenca, Guadalajara, Balearic Islands, León, Lugo, Palencia, Teruel and Zaragoza) that belong to the 15 fair transition agreements.

In the first edition 199 artists participated in 136 municipalities, while the second edition had 165 municipalities adhered. Now, in the third edition, there are 174 municipalities, 88 percent of the total of the municipalities of just transition throughout the country, where 309 artists of music, theater and dance have proposed 388 artistic proposals that will develop in the 1,095 performances that are scheduled to date, pending the formalization of new contracts.

This initiative, which seeks to stimulate cultural activity in these territories, increases the scope of previous editions, which “highlights the good reception of Dinamiz-ARTj, which is being consolidated as one of the main offers in a part of the national territory that requires projects of cultural dynamization”, explained the general director of CIUDEN, Yasodhara López.

Specifically, in the case of the Principality of Asturias, Morcín, Quirós, Ribera de Arriba, Riosa, Teverga, Aller, Carreño, Gozón, Lena, Llanera, Villaviciosa, Gijón and Mieres, have joined this edition in the fair transition agreement of Vallde del Caudal and Aboño.

Also, The Cultural Thermic and The Light Factory. Museum of Energy in Ponferrada are throughout the year scenarios where the cultural programming of Dinamiz-ARTj is developed and as such, in these facilities you can continue to enjoy the performances of the program.
