Espacio Solidario brings together almost 40 social groups at the 27th Malaga Festival
From the 2nd to the 9th of March, the Plaza de la Merced will host free access activities to promote integration and inclusion
The Malaga Festival along with the Malaga City Council, through the Department of Social Rights, Diversity, Equality, and Accessibility, are organising yet another year, in collaboration with the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation, the Espacio Solidario (Solidarity Space). This event will be held from the 2nd to the 9th of March in the Plaza de la Merced as part of the 27th Malaga Festival.
Espacio Solidario aims to open up the Festival to different social groups and promote their inclusion. To this end, almost 40 of the city's associations and social entities will take part (twice as many as last year) to encourage and promote the visibility of these citizen groups. In this sixth edition, it will once again have a model based on informative activities (free and open access) of the different associations that participate and whose subject are very varied. It is therefore a transversal initiative, with activities of all kinds (screenings, round tables, workshops…) with inclusive and social themes.
The Mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre; the Councillor for Culture and Historical Heritage, Mariana Pineda; the Councillor for Social Rights, Diversity, Equality and Accessibility, Francisco Cantos; the regional head of ‘la Caixa’ Foundation in Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla, Juan Carlos Barroso; the Commercial Director of Caixabank in Malaga, Cordoba and Almeria, Gerardo Cuartero; and the Director of the Malaga Festival, Juan Antonio Vigar, presented the programme of Espacio Solidario today at the Teatro Cervantes.
The programme of this space will deal with very different themes throughout the eight days of activity, with topics such as loneliness, violence, suicide, the environment, childhood, and the elderly.
