the People's Festival started in 2003 to give opportunity of meeting to the different cultures living on Agliana's territory. Once a year, during the "Aglianese June" the association "PortAperta onlus" organises a Festival that desires to be a visibility space for all the immigrates' communities living in our municipality area. In addition to the usual dinner and live acts, this year there was also a fair trade market many international cooperation organisations like Emergency, Rete Radie Resch, Equoland participated to.
Every year we give space to information, taling about issues like interculture, immigration, underdevelpoment, andthe alternatives to neoliberal economics. This year in the main square, next to the tea tend, where it is possible drinking a good Moroccaine mint tea, the exhibition "Student Under Occupation" was exposed.
Many people stopped themselves to look at the pictures and read the information, many had the opportunity to reflect about the situation. These pictures helped us to explain to the post school children (an activity realisd by our organisation) hte Palestinian situation. They were images that won't be easily erased from their minds.
We also received thanks by the Moroccaine community.
Thanks to all of you who gave the opportunity to enrich our Festival.
