After more than 22 years of activity, DEMÀ shuts down. Our association has decided to cease his activities. There are multiple reasons, as it usually happens. They are related with a lack of generational replacement of the most active members and a certain fatigue, among other reasons.
During those years, a lot of people with different profiles, as well as diverse entities and institutions have cooperated in several events and also on local, national and international projects of our association. We cannot do anything other than thank everybody for their contributions and supports. It would take too long to mention all of them, but we want to say to everyone, many, many thanks.
A good deal of DEMÀ activities of these long decades has ben centred on projects regarding education throughout life, on the creation of materials and intercultural and intergenerational experiences on participatory democracy, as well as the support for active aging. A summary of the work done can still be seen of our website.
We have participated on projects at European level, in most cases. One of our values have always been the idea of contributing to improve the mutual knowledge and the respect of the diverse national realities. We think to have modestly contributed to the existence of a European space of experiences and knowledges to be shared. We have really learned a lot from our partners on this matter and, even further, we have built a network of friends all over the continent, extraordinarily strong friendship some of then.
Now, in the moment to close DEMÀ, you must know that we go on being active member in different areas. We, personally, are here for you for everything in could be useful. Those years have been for us a whole world impossible to be forgotten. We want to give a very warm hug for each one of you and we hope you keep good memoires of the times and the projects we have shared.
