El CRIEME (Cantabria) y su contribución al desarrollo rural de la zona

Abstract

This article reflects on the importance of a cultural initiative as crieme (Resource Center, Interpretation and School Education) in a rural setting as this centre’s.Throughout its pages you can see the activities with different institutions (Town Hall of Polanco, Education Department of Cantabria, University of Cantabria) and cultural proposings to schoolchildren, groups and general population during the visit to the headquarters of the museum. In addition, the crieme serves as a catalyst for various cultural events with presence in other villages (Pesquera) and schools of Cantabria. It is, in short, an innovative project that helps revitalize the rural environment in which it sits and other rural areas of our region. At the same time, it rescues, adds value and preserves the school life in the past, a collective treasure, otherwise at risk of being lost in the fog of memory.
