For one day the city is colored with sounds, images and scents from the world. This year, as already announced, the theme will be Let’s Embrace Differences. The Festival itself is a concrete way of experiencing the “conviviality of differences”, embracing every nuance. An intense experience which then, during the course of the year, translates into a small workshop of craftsmanship of peace and coexistence between peoples, to have a positive impact on the construction of an increasingly complex culture of welcome and integration in local level.
The event is organized by the People’s Network – made up of local entities of civil, lay and ecclesial commitment and people of other nationalities – and takes advantage of the patronage of the Municipality of Molfetta. Many moments of entertainment are planned for the evening of June 16th, starting as early as 6 pm.
