Summary
This work stems from an analysis of the 2nd year of ESO curriculum, the educational stage in which the Middle Ages are covered, where a scarce and frequently stereotyped presence of women is detected. Based on this observation, five thematic axes are proposed, leading to a didactic proposal consisting of five activities, each linked to an axis, designed to offer students a plural, complex, and active vision of the female role in medieval Galicia. To achieve this, active methodologies are employed, including the analysis of primary sources, cooperative work, creative projects, and guided reflection, fostering critical and participatory learning. Framed within the field of cultural services, this proposal conceives the school as a fundamental space to connect current historiographical research with dissemination and critical education, contributing to overcoming reductionist imaginaries and promoting a richer and more nuanced understanding of the past.

Summary
This research paper focuses on analyzing the cultural management processes developed over 22 years of activity by the theater association Pinchacarneiros, composed of individuals with disabilities. The objective is to observe whether this management has contributed to the sociocultural cohesion of people with disabilities in the city of Lugo. To conduct this analysis, a qualitative methodology was employed, based on the model for evaluating and identifying the impact of cultural projects proposed by Álvaro Fierro (2020). This involved a series of structured interviews with members of the association, the general community of Lugo, institutional cultural agents, as well as founders and representatives of Pinchacarneiros. After cross-analyzing the data obtained using three sociocultural indicators: social integration, community networks, and institutional participation it was observed that, despite the association's extensive history and significant cultural involvement, many strategies are being overlooked in management efforts aimed at achieving visibility, sociocultural cohesion, and professionalization of the group. Consequently, a series of conclusions are drawn that acknowledge the association's contributions at the sociocultural level within the city and encourage the continued development of this research through management models and cultural practices applied to groups composed of individuals with disabilities.

Summary
This case study examines the life of Josep Maria Casas Moral, a Catalan who emigrated during the Spanish post-war period and spent the rest of his life in Córdoba, Argentina. It explores how identity is shaped over time -in this case, through early migration and the enduring effort to remember and reconstruct a fragment of Catalonia abroad. Are identities -whether individual or collective- coherent and fixed, or are they imperfect, evolving constructs? Grounded in a theoretical framework that serves as both lens and tool, and informed by the close reading of a singular personal narrative, this work aims to deepen our understanding of the complexities of identity. In doing so, it seeks to make room for ambiguity and pluralism at a time when appeals to essentialist and seamless forms of identification are gaining dangerous traction. Ultimately, this is an attempt to unpack and destabilize what is often perceived -or made to appear- as solid.

Summary
This study analyzes the ideological manipulation exerted by the Francoist regime over women in both rural and urban contexts, through mechanisms of control, repression, and indoctrination, particularly via the Sección Femenina. It examines the strategies used to impose the ideal Francoist model of womanhood, as well as the forms of female resistance that emerged in response, ultimately challenging the regime’s pursuit of ideological uniformity. Based on bibliographic, documentary, and visual sources, the research aims to critically explore these mechanisms of control and to highlight the significance of Galician feminist and female historical memory, emphasizing the intersection between gender, politics, and memory.

Summary
The MindoMúsica project is a singular and innovative cultural initiative focused on chamber music as a vehicle for artistic and social transmission. Held in Mondoñedo, a town with notable historical heritage and privileged acoustic conditions, this festival is defined by its commitment to interpretative excellence and interdisciplinary collaboration. Based on an “artists-in-residence” model unique in Galicia, MindoMúsica gathers leading performers and creators from across Europe for one intensive week of rehearsals and collaborative creation of high-quality cultural content. While music remains at the heart of the festival's programming, it is presented in dialogue with other disciplines such as dance, theatre, and literature. This openness fosters a cross-disciplinary exchange among artists from diverse fields, promoting a universal and inclusive artistic language. At the same time, the festival shows a strong commitment to accessibility, offering specific activities for varied audiences, including children, young people, the elderly, and individuals with functional diversity. MindoMúsica also aims to forge a deep connection with the local territory, contributing to the cultural, economic, and social revitalization of the A Mariña region and of Galicia as a whole. The festival serves as a meeting point between artists and the local community, with the goal of decentralizing culture and promoting the democratization of access to the arts in rural areas. In this regard, it partners with local educational and social institutions (such as schools, high schools, care centers, and nursing homes) to deliver pedagogical initiatives and inclusive musical experiences. Another cornerstone of the project is the appreciation and dissemination of Mondoñedo’s rich musical heritage, especially through the promotion of the valuable holdings of the Cathedral’s Music Archive. Furthermore, the festival actively supports the visibility and participation of women as artists, creators, and cultural entrepreneurs, asserting equality as a guiding principle. Aligned with its founding values, MindoMúsica embraces the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, adopting an ethical, social, and environmental perspective that promotes equality, sustainability, and cultural justice. Its strong focus on sustainable tourism (slow tourism) reinforces the festival’s commitment to rural development and respect for local identity. After five successful editions (the latest in 2023) the festival continues to grow, establishing itself as a cultural benchmark in Galicia and as an exemplary model of artistic management grounded in synergy, excellence, and community engagement.

Summary
The work analyzes the historical context, architectural evolution, and cultural transformation through theatre in Buenos Aires from the 18th century to the early 20th century. The proposal developed here arises from the motivation, on the one hand, to account for theatre as a socio-territorial event par excellence; and on the other hand, to reflect, through the theatres that still exist in the City of Buenos Aires, on what traces of European theatrical history they preserve and how those elements were appropriated to build a theatrical system with a local identity. This study is divided into two parts. The first outlines a theoretical journey from the origins of theatre in Europe to the first performances in the Río de la Plata region, leading To the subsequent formation of the Argentine theatrical system. The approach is structured around the most emblematic theatre venues located along Avenida Corrientes (Teatro Liceo, El Nacional, Maipo, Ópera, and Politeama), which are considered part of the city's cultural heritage. The research concludes with a proposal for a Cultural Service through an exhibition aimed at children, focusing on the theatrical creation process. This exhibition will be itinerant and take place in the foyer of each of the aforementioned theatres

Summary
The incorporation of women into public space has been one of the greatest revolutions of the 20th century, but this revolution remains incomplete. This entry of women into public space was not accompanied by a review of the functioning and organization of cities. A traditional private role, closely associated with caregiving, was not eliminated, nor was there a full inclusion of work, nor even a real inclusion in both public and private responsibilities. Therefore, this research will explain the gender inequalities that have existed anda continue to exist in the urban space: first, it will address the gender segregration that has existed throughout history, briefly reviewing the history of the city, starting with Greece, continuing through the medieval period, where it will focus on two excepcional cases: the Beguine societies and Christine de Pizán, due to their historical legacy. It will then continue through the modern period, and conclude with the contemporary era, where it will show how some of the characteristics of previous eras are maintained in Western societies, not only in public space but also in the creation of the city. To overcome this traditional approach, the introduction of a feminist perspective into urban planning will be proposed, and finally, examples of urban actions with a gender perspective will be presented.

Summary
In a world consumed by the frenetic pace of capitalism and its devastating consequences, both in social dynamics and in the ecological sphere, this research highlights worker cooperatives and/or non-profit cooperatives as an alternative business model that can accompany the eco-social transition to a more just, horizontal future that is connected to our eco-dependence and interdependence. Using a qualitative methodology, with a special focus on the ecofeminist and intersectional perspective, six interviews were conducted with the following Galician social and solidarity economy cooperatives, focused on social transformation and the eco-social vision: Outonía, Rexenerando, Alalá, Arabías, Feitoría Verde and 7H Cooperativa Cultural. By focusing on identifying their strategies and impacts on the communities and territories they affect, through a praxis far removed from the hegemonic system, we highlight references as inspiration for possible change.
In a world consumed by the frenetic pace of capitalism and its devastating consequences, both in social dynamics and in the ecological sphere, this research highlights worker cooperatives and/or non-profit cooperatives as an alternative business model that can accompany the eco-social transition to a more just, horizontal future that is connected to our eco-dependence and interdependence.

Summary
This Master’s Thesis proposes the creation of a Classical Music Festival focused on the Galicia-Northern Portugal Euroregion. The initiative aims to recover, disseminate, and highlight the shared musical heritage of both regions, from medieval cantigas to contemporary music, bringing visibility to lesser-known and often forgotten composers, while also promoting contemporary creation and fostering cultural, social, and academic ties between the two territories. In addition to concerts, the festival would feature lectures by specialists to contextualize and rediscover these composers. The project seeks to strengthen cultural and social bonds between Galicia and Northern Portugal, regions with a shared history, a common ancestral language, and a closely related cultural identity. Through the dissemination of their musical legacy, it aims to reinforce a sense of belonging, encourage cultural exchange, and stimulate new musicological research. Furthermore, the initiative is envisioned as a tool to promote cross-border cooperation and generate economic value through new cultural and commercial relationships. The work is structured in several phases: from a territorial analysis of the political context and the existing musical offerings in the Euroregion, to the conceptualization of the Festival in terms of programming, management, and outreach. The proposal seeks to offer an alternative within the regional cultural landscape and to democratize an intangible cultural asset such as academic music, ultimately becoming a sustainable cultural benchmark that combines tradition and innovation.
