The future of the Centros Asturianos
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 5:20 am
I'm Llames (Rubén Llames), a member of this forum. Recently I've been elected as the new president of the Centro Asturiano de Mallorca (an spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea). This Center was closed in 2000 and we are trying to reactivate it. All the members of the direction of the Centro are new and all of us have less than 34 years old, so we are rookies and we need some help.
It would be a great thing fo us to receive any advice or suggestion that people from this forum could give us (suggestion about activities, funding...).
Taking advantage of this request maybe we could discuss about the future of the Asturian Centers/Centros Asturianos. In Europe we are seeing how these institutions with, mostly of them, more than 100 years of living and run by elderly immigrants are facing competition from new associations of young immigrants who use new technologies like ASMA (Asturians in Madrid)

or AsLon (Asturians in London)

I don't know if you know what is a Centro Asturiano. A Centro Asturiano is a social club for immigrants and the descendants of immigrants from Asturias. The objetives of a Centro Asturiano are the same as of this forum: to preserve the asturian culture and to help coexistence between Asturians outside their homeland. There are many all around the world as you can see here
