Because of the uncertain situation due to the pandemic, the Committee of the Culture Ticino Network Association of Lugano has decided to postpone the “Peace Village” in 2022 to a date to be defined.
The day, held in collaboration with other associations and professionals in the sector, who will make their experience available, will see 9 Workshops on humanitarian topics, peace and respect for human beings, animals and the environment.
During the day there will be two rounds of Workshops; from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 13:30 to 16:00.
Given the uncertain situation of this year’s pandemic, we are also considering the possibility of maintaining the usual “Solidarity Maccheronata” during the lunch break.
We want to thank for the important collaboration: the Croce Rossa Svizzera Sezione del Sottoceneri; the Accademia della Resilienza; the Associazione Viadellagioia, the Associazione Save the Children, Mrs. Kindler of the Associazione ASSEFA, the Associazione Ponti di Speranza, the Associazione Forza Rescue Dog and Mrs. Suzanne Palermo, illustrator and author for children.
