Talks on ethical finance, renewable energy and food and fight against climate change and exchange, reuse and sale of sustainable products will be a central part of the Fair.
To all the above we must unite the collaboration of the Public Space and Social Fabric Project of the Murcia University, which, among other things, will present the book Natural Stories, which includes the stories of the Floridablanca Garden contest, and the FICUS Project. -Transform your neighborhood that presents a route to "make city" and the Karmakadabra concert, among other activities.
The inter-cultural festival alSur emerged in 2016 from a participatory process promoted by the Municipal Board.
Throughout these three years of existence, in addition to the festival itself, the Culture Group has carried out a multitude of activities under this denomination, such as concerts and days of inclusive leisure and games on the streets.
