Undicesima edizione di Conversazioni sul futuro

Five days, ninety appointments, two hundred guests: from Wednesday 16th to Sunday 20th October Conversations on the future returns to Lecce.

Promoted since 2013 by Diffondiamo idee di valore association, coordinated by Gabriella Morelli, in collaboration with numerous public and private entities, the festival tells the contemporary in its countless facets, promoting opportunities for dialogue on a variety of topics, languages, and perspectives.

The eleventh edition offers an articulate program of talks, book presentations, monologues, shows and concerts, screenings, activities dedicated to schools and families to discuss activism, climate, communication, design, rights, economy, foreign affairs, journalism, feminism, comics, language, music, science, history and many other current topics.

This edition of Conversations on the future is dedicated to Sammy Basso, a guest in 2015. "We want to remember him too, as we had the privilege of sharing a part of his journey, dedicating the festival to his tireless spirit and his ability to see beyond what any of us could grasp. A loving embrace to Laura and Amerigo, his parents, and to all the people who in these years have been his strength, just as he has been for them," emphasizes Gabriella Morelli. "We dedicate this eleventh edition to those who are no longer with us, but also to the living, to the survivors of regimes and wars, hoping that the future, in its rapid pace, driven by survival or revenge, brings a little peace."
