Having held
three editions in Spain and Argentina, this year SOPA Congress crosses again the Atlantic to land one more time in
Spain, specifically in the town of Zalamea
de la Serena (Badajoz province).
The main
objective of SOPA Congress is to
educate in the common, contacting, facilitating access and transmission to the
heritage in rural areas, foster a true cultural democracy. Working in the collective feeling, with people who
want to engage with the community, who wants to change the ways we relate to
our culture. Emancipate knowledge through the expansion of the knowledge and
co-creation of content and methodologies. In this way we will know the
different ways of seeing, try and consider the rural heritage as a generator of
wealth, enabling local actors to develop innovative and sustainable cultural
and economic initiatives within their own territory.
SOPA Congress aims to be a forum for
both agents of the cultural sector and other areas that coordinate their
actions with heritage (teachers, municipal employees and non-governmental
institutions, citizens in general), a place of conversation, theoretical and
methodological experimentation, where propose and explore joint action
mechanisms. This will facilitate awareness about cultural heritage linked to
rural areas and their different forms of management, emphasizing those that
include citizen participation in their development. At the same time, developed
projects around the world will be exhibited, leading to the knowledge of new
ways of working in rural areas that could fit in any country.
Here we show the three formats you have to present proposals to SOPA16. In addition, we also inform the several sessions of the congress to which you can submit.

SEMINAR: HERITAGE & CONFLICT
On this seminar
we will address the issue of Heritage of
the Conflict, understanding conflict as belligerence deeds that has
influenced not only on conservation or destruction of heritage, but in the ways
it relates with the community. This include material and immaterial heritage
that has supposed any kind of misunderstanding between the community and the
heritage element or the institution that is responsible of its conservation or
management. Wars, spoliation, territory and resources management, native
community’s legacies demands, gentrification and actions to defend minority
languages and collective memory, are some of the issues that we want to reflect
on, reviewing those relations and possible ways of negotiations, as well as
putting forward possible proposals related to planning, communication or
didactics on heritage.
