ITS PURPOSE IS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL GOODS AND SERVICES IN COMMUNES OTHER THAN REGIONAL CAPITALS. THE PROGRAM HAS 3 COMPONENTS:

- CULTURAL INITIATIVES WITH REGIONAL IDENTITY: THEIR OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE A SEAL THAT RESCUES THE OWN IDENTITY OF A TERRITORY, IN A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE. THE INITIATIVES MUST RESPOND TO THE NEEDS, DEMANDS OR REQUIREMENTS OF THE TERRITORY, VALUING AND RESPECTING THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY OF THE TERRITORY, AND OF THOSE INHABITING IT. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS COMPONENT SUPPOSES AN INTERRELATIONAL WORK FROM THE LOCAL TO THE REGIONAL, IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS THE ENDOGENOUS DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERRITORIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, THROUGH: THE DISSEMINATION OF ARTISTIC AND/OR CULTURAL WORKS IN DIFFERENT TERRITORIES; THE GENERATION OF INSTANCES FOR THE TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURAL LEARNING PROCESSES. ENCOUNTERS OF EXCHANGE, DEBATE AND REFLECTION. THE GENERATION OF ONE OR MORE PROJECTS THAT RELEASE SOME OF THE IDENTITARY ASPECTS OF THE REGION, IN DIALOGUE WITH EXISTING AND SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL PLANNING INSTRUMENTS OVER TIME (TRACEABILITY OF -AT LEAST- 3 YEARS). IT MUST BE PERTINENT WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE REGION AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTISTIC AREAS AND/OR TRANSVERSAL WORK AREAS.
- REGIONAL CULTURAL PLANNING: IT CONFIGURES A STRATEGY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REGIONAL CULTURAL POLICIES, LINKED TO REGIONAL PLANNING INSTRUMENTS, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF INCORPORATING GUIDELINES REGARDING THE PROMOTION OF REGIONAL CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, AND IDENTITY STRENGTHENING OF TERRITORIES IN THE STRATEGIC DEFINITIONS OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT.
