Copia de MARGARITA BURÓN COOPERATING CULTURAL CENTRE
Description
The centre pays tribute to Margarita Buron, a resident of Alcorcón, who died in Ethiopia while working as a volunteer in a reforestation project. With her memory, the intention is to recognise the work of all volunteers in Alcorcón.
Inaugurated in December 2008, its main objective is to convert the centre into an open space for meetings, training and leisure, with the active participation of neighbourhood associations and residents. Among the services available at the centre, with more than 2,000 square metres, is a theatre with 104 seats.
It has a wide and varied range of courses and activities, both for adults and children.
We attend to requests for the cession of spaces for Associations and various collectives to carry out their activities, both regular and occasional, as well as being the headquarters of some of these entities. We also collaborate with other councils in our municipality in the organisation of activities and the cession of spaces.
Through the exhibitions we support the dissemination and artistic and artisan production of local artistic and artisan collectives.
Our project at the Margarita Burón Centre: a lively place for meeting, training and promoting creativity.
