05.05.2021
The Barbanza Ecosocial Lab starts its second phase with the announcement of a call for seed projects to fund with 15 000 €, for a maximum of three projects. These should be focused on sustainable production, environmental regeneration, territorial planning, social and cultural action or a combination of these, which have a positive impact on local communities and have the capacity for amplification and replication. The projects must have sustainability as a first requirement, and for this it is recommended to take into account the principles for new sustainable initiatives, as described in the publication When we were sustainable. Learning from Barbanza: shaping our future from our roots, the result of the first phase of research by the Barbanza Ecosocial Lab, which can be downloaded free of charge from its website.

21.01.2021
On Monday 21 we signed the official agreement of collaboration between Fundación RIA and the Galician Agency of Infrastructures for our ongoing planning work on the regional road, AC-305,which cuts through the towns along the Barbanza peninsula. The project aims to give back priority to pedestrians and urban identity impacted by the effects of traffic planning, and to be part of a larger reconsideration of mobility and sustainable development for the dispersed settlements of the region.
Thank you to the Minister for Infrastructure and Mobility, Ethel Vázquez, the Director of the Galician Agency of Infrastructures, Francisco Menéndez, and their team for the continued trust and support for our work on these initiatives.
