Minas de Almadén – Parque Minero| 6 September 2025, 8:00 p.m.

This project seeks to showcase Renaissance music by composers from Extremadura, or connected with the region, through the imaginary journey of a couple: a shepherd named Juan and his wife, as they set off for the New World. Starting in the town of Alburquerque, in the province of Badajoz, Juan embarks on a journey through the Extremaduran dehesas with no set destination. In Montánchez, he finds love and frees a woman from captivity —she becomes his lifelong companion. Together, they make a momentous decision: to travel beyond the Ocean Sea. Crossing the province of Badajoz, they eventually reach Seville, from where they set sail for the New World on a voyage full of adventures. Once in those distant lands, they discover the marvellous fusion of cultures that took place there, expressed through music, though not without the influence of the Christianisation imposed upon those territories. Guided by works from composers of Extremaduran origin, such as Juan Vásquez, Juan de Badajoz (Badajoz), and Hernando Franco, alongside pieces by the great Juan del Encina, Mateo Flecha, and Gaspar Fernández, among others, we are immersed in the musical atmosphere of the time, stirred by emotion and curiosity about the fate of our main characters.

Cuacos de Yuste, 21 May 2025

On the 21^st of May, the Cultural Association of Former and Current Students of Cáceres from the University of Seniors of Extremadura (ACAUMEX) will hold its 1^st Cultural Conference, an event envisioned to become an annual tradition. These inaugural conferences serve both as the culminating expression of a year full of activities and as a catalyst for the group’s evident interests and enthusiasm, clear signs of the vitality that defines this young Association. Through this event, ACAUMEX proudly showcases its cultural trajectory throughout the academic year, presenting the conference as the crowning achievement that closes its programme of activities.

In organising these conferences, ACAUMEX has considered —and will continue to consider— its regional identity by selecting different representative locations throughout the Autonomous Community of Extremadura for each annual event. The topic will be shaped by the identity and significance of the chosen site. This first edition will be held in the town of Cuacos de Yuste, in the region of La Vera, and will be dedicated to the historical figure of king and emperor Charles V, who chose the Hieronymite Monastery of Yuste, located in Cuacos, as his final residence after abdicating the throne.

Badajoz, 28-29 November 2024

The Official College of Social Work of Badajoz, in collaboration with the General Council of Social Work, has organised the 1^st Ibero-American Sessions on Community Social Work, which will take place on 28 and 29 November at the Financial Headquarters of Cajalmendralejo in Badajoz. The aim is to reflect on and share experiences regarding the Community Social Work model, which is recognised for its significant potential to transform our communities. These sessions are supported by the Badajoz Provincial Council, the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, the City Council of Badajoz, the Regional Government of Extremadura, and Caja Almendralejo.

Community Social Work is presented as a key strategy to address social complexities. It provides us with tools to strengthen social fabric, promote citizen participation, and empower communities. However, despite progress in our profession, this approach still faces significant challenges in its visibility and implementation in Spain.

This model encourages us to move beyond individual intervention, focusing on the collective and creating more equitable and supportive environments. Integrating a community-based approach into our professional practice, regardless of our field, can have a positive impact on people’s lives, social cohesion, and social emancipation.

Thus, the Official College of Social Work of Badajoz and the General Council consider it essential to raise the visibility of and promote this model of intervention. Only through the exchange of knowledge and experiences can we consolidate community social work as a fundamental tool in our daily work. The sessions will be a platform for building alliances, sharing best practices, and creating a future where community intervention is a cornerstone of social work across the country.

We look forward to seeing you!
