David Rodríguez

Cultural Manager and Head of Cultural Projects for the Swiss League Against Cancer (Krebsliga)

In an article in la Vanguardia, David Rodríguez, cultural manager and head of cultural projects for the Swiss League against cancer (Krebsliga), explains the importance of investing in culture to help the city recover after the Covid-19 crisis. "We cannot forget that if the city doesn’t have a strong cultural ecosystem, there will be little to appeal to tourists and the city won’t generate economic and social innovation", says Rodríguez, who stresses that the range of culture on offer in Barcelona "will define the economic development and quality of life of the city."
