FRAMED IN THE «ZUBIRIK PLAN»
The «Intercultural Gale« was organized by the Bilbao City Council in collaboration with the social entity KOOP SF 34, within the framework of the «Zubirik 2025 Plan». This plan aims to improve the quality of life for people living in Bilbao La Vieja, San Francisco, and Zabala.
With a total forecasted investment exceeding seven million euros, the Plan includes 40 actions in various areas: social, urban, health, mobility, commercial, educational, training, labor, and equality.
