European Project · 2021–2022
The overall goal of the Magallanes_ICC Project is to establish a cross-border cooperation network and shared spaces to build a business-incubation model for Cultural and Creative Industries.
CDL was a beneficiary entity, part of the Interreg V-A Spain-Portugal POCTEP programme, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. Through the "Patios de Córdoba Experience", CDL developed digital, immersive content to showcase Córdoba's UNESCO World Heritage — the seed that years later would give rise to Game of Patios.
