The town of Morella hosted the working sessions of the interuniversity project RESINA, an initiative focused on identifying and transferring sustainable practices from the rural world.

The RESINA (Roots of Resilience) project, led by Universitat Jaume I with the participation of the universities of Cádiz (UCA) and Pública de Navarra (UPNA), held intensive technical and public participation workshops on April 24 and 25 in the capital of the Els Ports region.
With the support of the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030, RESINA's mission is to identify and transfer everyday sustainability practices from the rural world. During this meeting, more than 200 practices were identified from previous workshops held in participating municipalities in recent weeks.
The localities where the project is being developed include Aoiz and Aribe (Aezkoa valley) and the valleys of Roncal and Salazar, in Navarra; the municipalities of Viver, La Jana, and La Mata, in inland Castellón; and Benaocaz, Grazalema, and Zahara de la Sierra, in the Sierra de Grazalema, in Cádiz. The research teams from the three universities have documented traditional knowledge, recognizing it as innovative and resilient responses to current ecological and economic problems.
After months of fieldwork, the internal session on Friday, April 24, served to systematize the good practices collected in the nine pilot municipalities and thus prepare the selection of the 45 study practices that will ultimately form the core of the research. Selection criteria include originality, territorial representation, and representation by typologies such as care and social reproduction, festive-cultural, community service management, productive/subsistence, natural environment and emergencies, and hybrid.
The central moment of the day took place on Friday, April 24, in the Justice Hall of Morella City Council. This public event featured institutional interventions by the mayor of Morella and the general coordinator of the RESINA project. The director general of Agenda 2030 joined via videoconference. Subsequently, the coordinators from the universities of Navarra and Cádiz participated. In addition, a round table for exchanging proposals was held with key representatives from the territory, including the mayor of Viver and their councilor, as well as the managers of GAL Altmaesports and GAL Maestrat-Plana Alta.
Also, a technician from GAL Palancia-Mijares, a representative from ADLYPSE (Federation of Technical Personnel in Local Development Management of the Valencian Community), a member of the IVIFA Board of Trustees (Valencian Institute of Agricultural Research and Environmental Training), and two representatives from Economic Promotion of the Diputación de Castellón intervened. The day was not limited to technical analysis but also included the proposal for videographic documentation of practices and the preparation of the New Rurality Conferences in the territories, ensuring that knowledge returns to the communities that originated it. The meeting concluded on Saturday, April 25, with a guided visit to La Mata, reinforcing the direct link with the landscape and the rural community.
