🏢 About the local organisation
Fundacion Enneco. “Enneco or the memory of the oak” was born with the purpose to recover the historical memory of Vasconia-Kingdom of Navarre. Recover that memory requires research, reflection, convergence and construction of a participatory and lively cultural project that allows us and others to enjoy themselves by building a project that will go beyond the mere musealization of a historical era. Enneco hopes to provide shelter to all those popular and cultural initiatives that align with the purpose of the project: to recover our collective memory.
It is therefore a project aimed at all those people or groups who want to know our historical and political past, and thus, our present.
💼 What the programme involves
Enneco will be more than an interpretation center. Much more than a theme park, or a historical archive. More than an ethnographic museum or exhibition space. It should be primarily a meeting place where all have a voice. A journey of knowledge and experimentation, an interactive learning and discovery. Confluence of tradition, art and culture in an exceptional natural environment. It will be our place, in which to feel and let us move because our roots, where understand our present and to give birth, at least a little, the future.
Volunteers will help to construct the memorial park and got to know the rich history o the place. Part of work are also lectures of basics Basque language and journalism workshop.
