Santeria is pleased to announce the first seven guest speakers of Fragile, the one-of-a-kind Sustainable Arts and Disciplines festival that will take place from 11 to 13 October 2024 in Parma in five splendid locations spread across the city – Colonne 28, Italia Veloce, two Laboratorio Aperto locations and the Palazzo del Governatore. An unmissable event that, through meetings, talks, workshops, show cooking and clean up, aims to stimulate a discussion between citizens, entrepreneurs and institutions to build a path towards a sustainable future.
The first prestigious names who will speak during the three days are Agnese Casadei (activist of Fridays For Future), Alberto Grandi (Professor of food history at the University of Parma), Andrea Staid (Professor of Cultural Anthropology and writer), Giorgio Segrè (Project manager of the Sprecometro app), Giulia Innocenzi (content creator and communicator), Luca Martines (Managing Director Corporate of Parma Calcio 1913), Silvia Moroni (Content creator and communicator ParlaSostenibile).
Through the involvement of these first illustrious guests, coming from very different arts and disciplines, we will try to answer the question “How can we contribute today to the sustainability of our planet?”, sharing ideas and concrete proposals.
Among the themes addressed by Fragile there will be food, technology, economics and finance, trying to find innovative and practical solutions to global issues and daily challenges, with a focus on the future and the new generations.
From September 2024, registrations will also open for the laboratories and workshops that will be held during the festival, with the aim of concretely involving adults and/or children:
CREATIVE RECYCLING WORKSHOP with Terralab
Creative and fun crafts made with household waste, to teach that every waste can become a new resource, in a circular economy perspective.
CIRCULAR FASHION WORKSHOP with Terralab
A playful, creative and interactive moment to discover the labels of your clothes, with a professional in the sector, to find out who made them and where they come from.
SEED BOMB LAB with Terralab
The workshop dedicated to adults and children that involves the creation of wildflower seed bombs (with water, clay and seeds) to be thrown into the meadows, flowerbeds and parks of your city to grow flowers that can contribute to the protection of biodiversity, with a moment of in-depth study.
WORKSHOP ON ETHICAL INFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA with Rassy, held by Federico Graziani
Workshop dedicated to adults on ethical information and the meaning of doing journalism on social media, showing some examples and asking the public to interact on some definitions or case studies.
Also in September, registrations will open for the special clean up, organized together with Legambiente, scheduled for Saturday 12 October 2024 at 10:00. Fragile Festival aims to involve citizens of all ages in cleaning the riverside of Via Varese.
FRAGILE FESTIVAL aims to become the national workshop of sustainable economy, through a secular vision fascinated by mutual listening and possible solutions. A commitment and a promise to the planet, aimed at a necessary and real improvement. FRAGILE is also and above all a podcast, as the talks and show cooking that will be held during the festival will make up the audio video podcast FRAGILE distributed on all the main streaming platforms.
The full program of FRAGILE talks will be revealed in the coming months, and will be moderated by several journalists from the editorial teams of LifeGate, RASSEGNALLY, PMI.IT, FUTOORA, WALL STREET ITALIA and TUORLO Magazine, delving into the many issues related to sustainability.
Santeria is the engine behind this festival, a multifaceted team with a shared passion for culture and innovation. With Santeria, we are committed to offering a broad panorama of cultural events to an audience of diverse ages, education and social backgrounds.
