Resources and services we offer within the framework of Queer Rural Communities
Comunitats Rurals Queer (CRQ) is a non-profit project on rural development from a gender perspective. We accompany refugees from the LGTBIQ+ group and organize training and awareness-raising actions for social transformation towards racist, LGTBIQ-phobic behaviors and hate speech.
As part of the project, we offer a series of resources and services to all those educational or civic institutions, public administration as well as entities, companies or collectives, who wish to get to know more closely the different realities of the LGTBIQ+ group and people refugees in rural areas.
Awareness-raising
Living Libraries
Action to raise awareness and social impact, where migrants from the LGTBIQ+ group with refugee status tell their life stories.
These activities, organized in small conversation groups, offer the opportunity to hear first-person accounts that describe the serious persecution that the LGTBIQ+ community still suffers in many parts of the world. Through these conversations, participants can connect emotionally, reflect and better understand the phenomenon of migration.
In addition, these spaces highlight the urgency of combating hate speech, which spreads at both a social and institutional level.
The Living Libraries, through open dialogue and direct experience, help dismantle false beliefs and stereotypes, promoting understanding, respect and coexistence in diversity.
Who is it aimed at? Institutes, universities, companies, organizations and associations.

Education
The experience gained from the project implemented in Ripollès allows us to explain, through conferences and other outreach activities, the reality experienced around the migration issue and the specific needs regarding the rights of the LGTBIQ+ collective in rural areas.
As a team, we have experience in the development and implementation of public policies that promote the protection and rights of this group, as well as experience working with vulnerable migrant people.
This service is therefore based on the delivery and/or organization of conferences, talks, seminars or other training and outreach activities on these topics in rural areas.
Topics covered: LGTBIQ+ rights, Territorial balance, Migration and inclusion, Municipal policies.
Who is it aimed at? Institutes, universities, companies, entities, associations and non-profit organizations, public administration.
Social transformation
Community engagment
We offer community revitalization workshops at different scales to reflect and work on different assumptions through an intersectional perspective to accompany, enhance and motivate a social and urban transformation from the LGTBIQ+ perspective in rural areas.
We propose collaborations through Community Development Plans, Communalities, or other models of community or neighborhood management that you want to promote this intersectionality in your practice.
Who is it aimed at? Entities, associations and non-profit organizations, as well as different public administration bodies.
Empowerment
Facilitation and governance
We facilitate support in the construction of spaces for collective reflection, community governance processes and in the dynamism of driving groups to enhance citizen participation and generate community initiatives with a strong social impact.
We promote and facilitate inclusive participatory processes and help establish spaces for debate and dialogue where diverse ideas and perspectives can be shared, aimed at finding concrete and sustainable solutions for social and community challenges.
We offer comprehensive support that includes training in participatory methodologies to advice on the implementation of processes. This integrative view allows strengthening the social fabric, increasing community cohesion and promoting the empowerment of participants to develop initiatives that respond to local needs. Our team, with experience in supporting diverse groups and managing participatory processes, guarantees a collaborative work environment where all voices are heard and valued.
Who is it aimed at? Public administration, entities, companies and groups
Intersectional urbanism
Intersectional urbanism is an approach to urban planning that recognizes and addresses the multiple forms of inequality and discrimination that intersect in people’s experiences, taking into account factors such as gender, race, social class, orientation sexual, disability, age and other axes of identity.
This type of urban planning seeks to design inclusive cities that respond to the diverse needs of the population, ensuring that urban spaces are safe, accessible and equitable for everyone, and that they do not perpetuate structural inequalities.
From Comunalitas Rurals Queer and Mixité, we offer participatory and community analysis of urban environments from an intersectional perspective. Identification of spaces of fear, construction of safe routes, urban interventions, etc.
Who is it aimed at? Public administration, entities, companies and groups
