"The project began with a historical and sociological study of Felanitx and Es Sindicat at its foundation, which emerged a strong example of community engagement. A second phase explored contemporary social dynamics through research on community, heritage, and unity. The challenge was to translate 1920 to 2025 by reinterpreting Es Sindicat’s values for today’s society, asking how historical values can operate now and rebuild community through history."
