Festival of the Two Worlds
Recognized as an excellence on the national and international cultural scene, the kermesse therefore also stands out for its ability to offer original artistic proposals year after year. Elaborations of concepts that lead the public to reflect on the transformations taking place in the world and in lifestyles. Today the challenge also for festivals is in fact to accelerate towards a model of sustainable development. In this sense the Foundation of the festival has therefore undertaken to adhere to some of the sustainability objectives of the'UN agenda 2030. And to promote environmental, social and governance issues towards public opinion with the aim of becoming a point of reference in this field too.
On the one hand, therefore, a process of sustainable optimization of operating processes has been launched. On the other hand, a work of public opinion awareness with a program of dedicated initiatives ranging from meetings and conferences with experts to partnerships with institutions and other companies. Up to projects aimed at participation and inclusion. The festival boasts the presence of Stefano Mancuso, a scientist of world prestige and one of the greatest scholars of the botanical universe. His participation is linked to the initiatives carried out in collaboration with the Rai For Sustainability – Esg, as well as those intended for prison realities.
