We join HER Voice, a European project for democratic inclusion

2 de October de 2025

Participating in HER Voice represents a privileged opportunity for us to continue contributing to social justice and inclusive democracy. This European project reinforces our commitment to women’s rights and empowerment, especially those whose voices continue to go unheard.

HER Voice is much more than a new project for our organization: it is a mission that seeks to strengthen women’s voices and move towards a more just society. Democracy is only complete when all groups participate and are heard, but many vulnerable women remain excluded from decision-making due to economic and cultural barriers. HER Voice was created to bridge that gap.

Coordinated by Stichting Netwerkpro (Netherlands), the project brings together partners such as ASCAE Impresa Sociale (Italy), Gestión Estratégica e Innovación SL (Spain), Caregivers SRL (Romania), and Ecoinclusive Center for Innovation (Cyprus), combining expertise in community and digital empowerment.

Between November 2025 and October 2027, HER Voice will offer interactive workshops, lessons on democratic participation in six languages for community centers, local civic actions, structured dialogues with policy makers, and a study visit to Brussels. The project will conclude with a European online conference to disseminate results and ensure sustainability.

The impact is clear: at least 150 women will strengthen their democratic competence and confidence, and ten community entities will receive tools to continue their support. The participants are agents of change in more inclusive and representative communities.

HER Voice sends a powerful message: democracy is stronger when all voices are heard. The democratic future depends on the diversity and vitality of those who shape it; this project works to ensure that no voice is left out.

Geinnova promotes the digital transformation of tourism in the Calatayud region with a key study for the PSTD

23 de June de 2025

At Geinnova, we are proud to announce our participation in the Tourism Sustainability Plan for the Calatayud Region (PSTD), a strategic initiative funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU and coordinated by the Government of Aragon and the regional administration. Our work has focused on carrying out the preliminary study for the Tourism Marketing Plan, a fundamental part of Axis 3 of the plan: the digital transition of the destination. This axis includes the creation of a tourism intelligence system, the improvement of the destination’s website, and the development of digital tools for tourism management and promotion.

A study to understand, segment, and promote regional tourism.

The work carried out by Geinnova has consisted of an in-depth analysis of the level of knowledge and perception of the tourist resources of the Calatayud region in the target markets, both nationally and internationally. To this end, we have carried out:

–Surveys and perception studies in selected markets, with a special emphasis on field data collection, which has given us a real and up-to-date view of visitor trends and demands.

–Analysis of the region’s presence and mentions in the media, social networks, and tourism platforms.

–Comparisons of the region’s positioning vis-à-vis competing destinations, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.

Segmentation and selection of target markets.

Our study has enabled us to define and prioritize the most relevant tourist markets for promoting the region, applying geographical, demographic, and psychographic criteria. In addition, we have identified the market segments with the greatest affinity for the local tourist offer and analyzed the potential of both domestic and international source markets.

Inventory and evaluation of local tourist resources

Another key task has been to draw up a detailed inventory of the region’s tourist resources—historical monuments, natural heritage, cultural events, and gastronomy—evaluating their quality and capacity to meet tourist demand. This analysis has identified key resources with high potential to attract the target markets.

Geinnova’s collaboration with the Calatayud region is part of several areas of the PSTD, acting as a link between companies in the tourism sector and the public administration. Our goal has been to facilitate strategic decision-making and promote partnerships that drive competitiveness and innovation in the region, in line with the vision of sustainability and digital transformation that defines the plan.

At Geinnova, we remain committed to innovation and sustainable development, helping the Calatayud region to consolidate its position as a leading tourist destination that is modern and connected to the new demands of the sector.

Further information: If you would like to know more, we invite you to consult a brief summary of the study carried out, as well as the official website of the Tourism Sustainability Plan for the Calatayud Region.

Strengthening the Future of Art & Innovation: School Art Competition in Türkiye

28 de April de 2025

On 25th April through 27th April 2025, we had the privilege of attending the International Art Festival in Antalya, Türkiye, a remarkable event that brought together young artists from diverse backgrounds to showcase their creativity and talent. With 54 participating schools from across Türkiye, the festival provided students an opportunity to present original works in various categories, including painting, STEM+Art, digital arts, caricature, anime character design, and collage art. We engaged with the students, observing their creative processes, discussing inspirations behind their works, and witnessing firsthand the dedication each young artist poured into their craft.

 

Serving as members of the jury panel, Carlos Franco and Naomi Nervo with the academic council evaluated the exhibited artworks alongside an academic committee from various universities in Türkiye composed of experts in art, technology, and design. The selection process was based on originality, technical skill, and the ability to convey compelling artistic narratives. The sheer diversity of perspectives reflected in the students’ work highlighted the significance of interdisciplinary art education and its role in fostering critical thinking and self-confidence.

 

Following the evaluation, the top-ranking students earned the opportunity to present their works at an international exhibition in Zaragoza, Spain. This prestigious platform will allow young artists to gain visibility beyond their local communities, connect with global audiences, and refine their artistic vision through cultural exchange.

 

In conclusion, the festival served as an invaluable meeting point for artistic collaboration, personal growth, and creative empowerment. GEINNOVA’s participation reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing young talent, encouraging innovative thinking, and supporting the next generation of artists and changemakers.

The visit to Türkiye was more than a journey—it was a testament to the power of art in shaping global perspectives, driving creativity, and inspiring young minds to pursue their dreams with confidence. As GEINNOVA continues its mission, this remarkable experience will serve as a catalyst for future projects that uplift artistic expression and education worldwide. We eagerly anticipate reconvening in Zaragoza as we actively prepare for the final exhibition.

Flavors that unite: how cooking is transforming lives with SOULfood

16 de April de 2025

What if cooking could open doors, build bridges, and transform communities? That’s what SOULfood is all about, a European project that turns every recipe into an opportunity for the social inclusion of migrant women. Through flavorful cooking workshops, shared stories, and experiences that leave a lasting impression, SOULfood shows that cooking is much more than just preparing food: it’s a universal language of connection, learning, and empowerment.

One of the most important activities within this initiative has been the organization of cooking workshops.Here in Zaragoza, we hosted three workshops between January and February 2025, each focusing on a different type of cuisine: Italian, Asian, and Turkish. In total, around 50 participants took part in these events, learning how to cook new dishes, sharing stories, and connecting with people from all over the world.

Each workshop offered a unique cultural and culinary experience in a welcoming, peer-to-peer environment. Rather than formal cooking lessons, these sessions were moments of mutual exchange, guided by workshop leaders who are themselves migrants and brought their personal stories and heritage into the kitchen. During the Italian cooking session, participants prepared a traditional dish of gnocchi alla sorrentina, inspired by the experience and passion of an Italian facilitator. The second workshop focused on Asian cuisine and featured a Chinese-style vegetable stir-fry, shared by a Spanish participant who had lived in China for several years and offered insights from his time abroad. The final session celebrated Turkish cuisine through the preparation of potato and bulgur patties—a traditional family recipe from Antiochia—generously shared by our Turkish workshop leader. These sessions fostered connection, learning, and inclusion in an open and horizontal way.

The workshops were a great success. We collaborated with the Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl (SSVP), who kindly provided their kitchen space for the Italian cooking session, and with Fundación CAI, who hosted the Asian and Turkish sessions.

Beyond the recipes and techniques, what truly stood out was the human connection. Participants not only learned how to cook—they also built bridges between cultures, found common ground through food, and formed lasting friendships beyond the workshops. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, filled with laughter, curiosity, and shared experiences.

One participant shared her reflection after the final session:
 “The event was so interesting and I met people from different nationalities. I’ll be happy if you have more events like this that help us become familiar with different cultures and their food. Thank you so much!”
 Her words reflect the spirit of SOULfood—an initiative that uses the joy of cooking to foster community, understanding, and empowerment.

Strengthening the future of family businesses in Europe

17 de March de 2025

Family businesses are the backbone of Europe’s economy, playing a vital role in job creation, innovation, and regional development. However, ensuring their continuity across generations presents unique challenges that require strategic planning and support. Recognizing the importance of these businesses, GEINNOVA has taken an active role in fostering dialogue and collaboration by organizing a Discussion Group on Family Businesses as part of the European project NextSMEs, funded by the Erasmus+ program.

A Space for Dialogue and Learning

Hosted at CEOE Aragón, this gathering brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including family business owners, public administration representatives, and industry experts. The goal? To engage in an open and constructive discussion about the key factors that help with business continuity planning for the long-term sustainability of family-run enterprises.

The meeting served as a platform for participants to exchange experiences, share best practices, and explore actionable strategies to enhance the resilience of family businesses. By fostering collaboration between the private and public sectors, this initiative aims to create a stronger support system for these companies, ensuring their stability and growth in an ever-changing economic landscape.

Key Topics Addressed

✔ Succession and generational handover – One of the most pressing challenges for family businesses is ensuring a smooth transition from one generation to the next. Effective succession planning is crucial not only for business continuity but also for preserving the company’s values, vision, and long-term success. The discussion emphasized the importance of preparing future leaders, establishing clear succession strategies, and balancing family interests with business needs.

✔ Professionalization and decision-making – As family businesses grow, professionalizing management processes becomes essential for efficiency and sustainability. Like how Implementing business governance best practices helps maintain efficiency in decision-making, participants explored how structured governance, external expertise, and data-driven decision-making can enhance long-term stability while maintaining the unique identity and culture of family-owned enterprises.

✔ Tools and public policies for growth and financial stability for SMEs

Governments and institutions play a key role in supporting family businesses through policies and funding opportunities. The discussion highlighted various financial instruments, legal frameworks, and advisory programs available to help these companies navigate challenges, scale their operations, and remain competitive in an increasingly globalized market.

A Collaborative Effort for a Sustainable Future

With the participation of 10 family business owners and representatives from public administrations, this forum provided a valuable opportunity to identify industry needs, exchange insights, and co-create strategies that can strengthen the future of family businesses across Europe. The insights gathered during the event will contribute to the development of new tools and initiatives within the NextSMEs project, further reinforcing support structures for small and medium-sized family enterprises.

At GEINNOVA, we believe that innovation and sustainable business development are key drivers of economic business growth. Through projects like NextSMEs, we remain committed to empowering family businesses by equipping them with the resources, knowledge, and networks needed to thrive in the modern economy.
