With the title "Building bridges", the festival aims to be an opportunity to reflect on the importance of dialogue between different cultures, generations and life stories. Through a rich proposal of workshops, meetings, shows and educational paths, the exhibition is configured as an open and participatory space, aimed at valuing diversity as a resource and promoting culture as a tool for relationship, transformation and coexistence. Interculture is understood not only as a simple representation of differences, but also as a daily practice of dialogue and re-meaning of identity, able to build more conscious, inclusive and solidary communities. The festival also wants to be a concrete action of education for citizenship, peace and social justice, involving people of all ages in a shared path of growth.
