The Mediterranean Fair of Manresa, the Joan Miró Foundation, the film Wolfgang and the show Opera in the veins These are four of the ten cultural projects featured in the 2025 Christmas carol published by the Carulla Foundation, a publication the organization has produced every Christmas for the past 59 years. The publication was presented this Thursday at an event at the foundation's Barcelona headquarters during an "immersive artistic experience" inspired by the essence of the ten projects featured in the edition, as reported by EFE. Percussionist Núria Andorrà and the folk dance group Radicela were the stars of an evening that also included remarks from the director of Fira Mediterrània, Jordi Fosas; the director of the Contorno Urbano Foundation, Esteban Marín; and the artistic curator Tere Badia.

The Carulla Foundation's Baldiri Awards aim to recognize and promote schools and educational projects throughout the Catalan-speaking world that use culture, the arts, and language to improve and transform society. With the 2025-2026 call for applications, which will remain open until January 26, 2026, the Foundation seeks to reinforce the role of education as a key space for promoting the language and building a critical and cohesive citizenry. The awards have a total endowment of €44,000, distributed across three categories: Baldiri Arts i Llengua (Baldiri Arts and Language), Baldiri Experiències (Baldiri Experiences), and Baldiri Escola Transformadora (Baldiri Transformative School). The Carulla Foundation maintains that language and culture are essential elements for any community and, therefore, must be protected and promoted as rights to be preserved and exercised. Therefore, in this edition, the Baldiri Awards aim to highlight initiatives that use artistic languages ​​in the classroom to promote access to culture and the use of Catalan, fostering the right of children and young people to actively and committedly participate in the cultural life of their community.

The Carulla Foundation promotes EureCA'T!, an open call for innovative cultural ideas whose primary objective is to promote the use of Catalan. The goal is to activate new creative proposals that make Catalan a living, everyday, and shared language. The initiative offers training, expert guidance, and financial support.
