Primavera R 2026

Barcelona Resilience Festival

Primavera R is a two-day open-house festival that brings together people, practices, and places shaping Barcelona’s approach to climate adaptation and urban resilience.

Barcelona hosts a wide range of initiatives working on climate action, community resilience, and urban transformation, including local government agencies, neighbourhood associations, cooperatives, institutions, research groups, and grassroots organizations. Primavera R creates a shared moment to make this ecosystem visible, enabling the connection of different actors across sectors supporting learning and collaboration.

The festival builds on the Resilience Brunches and the 2025 edition of Primavera R, responding to a need for spaces to bridge practice, research, and governance without separating formal knowledge from lived experience.
