Calpe Town Council, through the Department of the ‘Building Europe with Local Councillors’ (BELC) project, Twinning and European Funds, aims to promote the participation of local associations in European cultural exchanges. To this end, European grants are being sought, such as those from the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV), which will enable local groups to cover the costs of initiatives of this type. These procedures are already at an advanced stage.
