"Hephaestus in the garden of God Pan"

In order to promote knowledge of the territory and local traditions, the creation of an awareness of environmental realities and possibilities, as well as the development of creativity, innovation and sustainable development, the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Predaia promotes the cultural project “Predaia Arte e Natura”.

The ambitious project will embrace all artistic forms, for achieving the aforementioned purposes, while respecting the precious natural resource and, at the same time, guaranteeing conditions of equal opportunity for access and participation in activities, without social, cultural and physical discrimination.

The current efforts for the environment made by the international community demonstrate that the limits of the planet are a reality. The concept of sustainable development, extended not only to the environmental dimension but also to the social one, has founded its foundations on respect for the future, both for the planet and for the next generations.

The Project aims to pursue the objectives set by the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, a global action plan for people, the planet and prosperity.
